2mm 6 Feet Galvanized Chain Link Fence Rolls Farm Mesh
Chain link fences are commonly used as barriers for pools, railways or expressways. The chain link fence fabric – also known as wire or mesh – are made by weaving galvanized wires into spirals of diamond patterns in different sizes, gauges, and selvages.
Sizes and uses
The popularity of chain-link fence is from its relatively low cost and that the open weave does not obscure sunlight from either side of the fence. One can make a chain-link fence semi-opaque by inserting slats into the mesh. Allowing ivy to grow and interweave itself is also popular.
The gauge refers to the diameter of individual galvanized wires of the fabric, and the higher the gauge number the thinner the wire is. Therefore, residential and commercial applications typically require a higher gauge fence than high-security applications. Our chain link fences are available in 1 mm – 4 mm.
The selvage refers to the top and bottom of the chain link fence, with the main types being Common (barbed and sharp, exposed edges that are used in high-security contexts), and the Wrap Edge (round and safer, used in residential and commercial areas).
While they can come in many heights, 6-foot chain link fences are used as common boundary solutions. Chain link fence rolls and parts can be bought separately and assembled, but our system comes with the complete package, with installation services available.
Installation
The installation of chain-link fence involves setting posts into the ground and attaching the fence to them. The posts may be steel tubing, timber or concrete and may be driven into the ground or set in concrete. End, corner or gate posts, commonly referred to as "terminal posts", must be set in concrete footing or otherwise anchored to prevent leaning under the tension of a stretched fence. Posts set between the terminal posts are called "line posts" and are set at intervals not to exceed 10 feet. The installer attaches the fence at one end, stretches it, and attaches at the other, easily removing the excess by "unscrewing" a wire. Finally, the installer ties the fence to the line posts with aluminum wire. In many cases, the installer stretches a bottom tension wire, sometimes referred to as "coil wire", between terminal posts to help minimize the in and out movement that occurs at the bottom of the chain-link mesh between posts. Top horizontal rails are used on most chain-link fences, although not necessary. Bottom rails may be added in lieu of bottom tension wires, and for taller fences, 10 feet or more, intermediate horizontal rails are often added.
Once stretched, a bottom wire should be secured to the line posts and the chain-link mesh "hog ringed" to the tension wire 2' on center. One generally installs this wire before installing the chain-link mesh.
