In our experience, the most requested fence type is the chain link fence.
Chain linkaEUR(tm), which is relatively affordable and can be molded to meet many safety concerns, is why it’s so popular. It is extremely flexible and easy to install. A chain-link fence might be the best choice for projects with differing ground elevations.
Chain link is also a great option for projects that cross terrains where beautification does not seem to be the main purpose.
The rear perimeter of large government buildings or military bases usually includes at least one application of chain link fencing. Although it is often hidden behind automatic gates and high-security steel, it provides inconspicuous support for the other applications as well as denoting the property boundary.
key Information on chain link fences
Chain link fences are available in many heights to suit a variety of applications. To reduce obstructions to view, shorter heights are often used in residential settings.
Because of their increased security, taller fences are more often chosen for commercial use. Barbwire may be used in taller chain links.
You can also find chain link fence fabrics in different gauges. The gauge refers to the measurement of the actual woven metal fabric. There are many sizes, but the most popular ones are 9 and 11A 1/2.
The gauge number is a measure of how thick the metal material is. The smaller 11A 1/2 gauge is popular for residential fencing where family members or pets have priority.
When higher-level security is required, 9-gauge steel is preferred. This is especially true for business or commercial applications.
A vinyl coating is a manufactured vinyl coat. This is the difference between vinyl-coated and galvanized chain links. Vinyl coated chain link is made from metal that has been galvanized. The vinyl is then placed around the metal. This makes it easier to weather the vinyl over time.
Vinyl over Galvanized
Keep in mind galvanized standard chain links will rust over time. Both galvanized and coated materials have similar sturdiness, durability, and long-term performance. Galvanized chain links usually come with a 10- to 15-year warranty against corrosion and rust. This fence doesn’t need painting and is maintenance-free.
ASTM specification 392 and federal specification R.R.F.-191.Galvanized fence tends to leave a rougher appearance. Vinyl has a cleaner appearance and can blend in with the surrounding environment, depending on the color of the coating. Vinyl coated fences are preferred for higher-end projects. The final price will be affected by this. Vinyl-coated fences can cost up to $33 per foot for a 6-foot fence. This post should help you determine the best chain link to fit your property, whether it is residential, commercial, or government.
Black vinyl link comes with a 10- to 15-year manufacturer warranty against cracking, peeling, and fading. It is almost maintenance-free. It does not disappear completely from the eye. This is why the customer must consider how they would like their final project to look.
