Chainwire
Chainwire is a woven wire fabric made from galvanised steel wire or PVC coated steel wire. The PVC coating can usually black or green in colour. The fabric is generally wound into rolls.
The wire is woven into a zigzag pattern to form the diamond pattern on fence panel.
Chainwire is also known or called chainlink, wire-mesh fencing, diamond fencing, Cyclone fencing, or wire netting.
How to choose the right chainwire
Chainwire is manufactured to different specifications depending on what it is being used for. The specifications differ depending on:
Thickness of the wire
The wire gauge can vary between 2.24mm to 4.00mm. The thinner wire is used in light duty or temporary applications whereas heavy duty applications such as cricket nets need a thicker wire gauge in the finished mesh.
Wire finish
Steel wire finish - Heavily galvanised / Black or green PVC coated.
Top and bottom of the wire roll
Chainwire rolls can be knuckled at both ends or knuckled one end and barbed the other.
Height of the chainwire roll
Height of the chainwire varies from 450mm to 3600mm (normally 300mm increments between 600 and 2400mm high) and ranging in the length of the roll (8m, 10m, or 15m)
Diamond size / appeture
Appeture Size is the size of the link spacing or the diamond spacing between the woven wire. The standard height for most chainwire is 50mm but this can vary between 25mm to 60mm.
Roll Size
Chainwire comes in rolls usually 8m, 10m or 15m long. The size of the roll depends on the weight of the completed rolls. Rolls with thinner wire and a smaller height are normally 15 metres whereas rolls with increased height and heavier wire are reduced in size to limit their weight.
