Chain link fence

A chain-link fence is a practical choice in securing large commercial and residential areas. It's not just cost-effective but also less pricey when it comes to fencing your properties. The chain link gets its durability from the steel wire and diamond patterns. 
Several options are available, inclusive of colors, various heights, gauges of mesh to help you choose according to your budget, and project necessities.

Benefits
  • Low-cost 
The chain-link fence is cheaper compared to other fencing materials.
  • Low maintenance 
This type of fence doesn't require expensive maintenance due to its galvanized and aluminium coating that prevents rust from spreading.
  • Transparent
This type of fence provides a complete view of the property without sacrificing the security of your property. 


Types of Chain Link Fences

There are different types of chain link fences that you can choose from for your fencing needs. We utilize our expertise in fence creation to help you find the right fabric, framework, and accessories for your fence. 

Fabric
  • Galvanized After Weaving (GAW)
In the GAW process, the knitting of the wire comes first, then followed by the galvanizing with zinc coating.
  • Galvanized Before Weaving (GBW)
In this process, the galvanization of wire with iron is first, followed by the weaving of the fabric to prevent any corrosion.
  • Aluminium
The aluminum-coated chain link fence is superior in strength, smoothness, and its aluminum coating is long-lasting.

Framework
The framework is very crucial in installing the chain-link fence since it serves as the backbone of your entire structure. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our experts. We are always happy to help! We will help you find the precise components that can withstand harsh weather conditions and other elements. 

Selvage
Selvage refers to individual closures of the wires. The twisted wire is for additional security while the "knuckled" one prevents the sharp ends to protrude.  

Colors
You can make your chain link fence stand out by putting color to it. You can either choose black or green for its coating. By doing so, it creates a pleasant impression that blends well with the surroundings.


Accessories for extra security
If you want extra security for your premises, you may want to add some accessories to make that happen. Razor/ barbed wire, Mini mesh fabric, top caps, and slats are among the things that you can add to your fence for extra security and some privacy. 
  • Razor/barbed wire 
You can put razor/barbed wire on top of your fence to make it impossible for anyone to jump over your fence.  
  • Mini mesh fabric
Mini mesh fabric makes it hard for anyone to climb your chain link fence. 
  • Top caps
Top caps offer protection from injury by covering barb wires. It can also serve as an embellishment to the overall fence appearance that you can see in the athletic field fences.


Our fence services provide reliable, trustworthy, and long-lasting chain link fences that you can use for your recreational area, securing your property, as well as keeping your pets within your vicinity.
