Welded Mesh Fence
Rigid panel fencing that arrives straight, lines up on a 2440 mm post grid and stays rust-free after installation.
Fencing & Perimeter Security
Chain Link Fence and Diamond Wire Mesh in Eight Openings
Diamond mesh that follows the ground instead of fighting it, in eight openings and five wire materials.
Product Overview
What Chain Link Fence Is and Who Buys It
Chain link fence, also called diamond wire mesh, is woven from low carbon steel wire, galvanized wire, PVC coated wire, stainless steel wire or aluminium alloy wire.
It is used as fencing for sports fields, river banks, construction sites, residential plots and animal enclosures, and is often combined with barbed wire, razor barbed wire and round posts.
Anwang holds openings from 25 mm to 100 mm with wire from 1.20 mm to 5.00 mm and will weave to a customer specification.
Key Benefits
- Eight stock openings let you trade cost against security without changing supplier.
- Rolls up to 50 m long and up to 5.0 m wide cut installation joints to a minimum.
- Five wire materials, so the same fence pattern works inland, on the coast and in a corrosive plant.
- Pairs directly with razor barbed wire and round post from the same order.
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify Chain Link Fence
- Contractors fencing sports fields, courts and school grounds
- Civil engineering buyers on river bank and flood channel works
- Site managers who need a temporary construction perimeter that can be moved
- Livestock and game farms
- Security integrators who top a diamond mesh line with razor wire
Problems It Solves
Rigid panels have to step up and down over sloping ground; diamond mesh is flexible and follows it.
Cheap fence sags or rolls up at the bottom. The benefits the source catalogue claims for this construction are exactly that it is strong, safe and flexible, does not break and does not sag or roll up at the bottom.
A fence beside a river or at the coast fails first at the coating - which is why the same mesh is offered PVC coated, stainless and in aluminium alloy.
Openings that are too wide for the application invite climbing and let stock through.

Materials
Material Options
Low carbon steel wire is the base. Galvanized wire suits general inland fencing, PVC coated wire adds a polymer skin over the zinc for coastal and decorative work, stainless steel wire is chosen where the fence sits in a chemically aggressive environment, and aluminium alloy wire where weight matters. The material changes the price far more than the opening does.
Quality Control
Opening, wire diameter, roll width and roll length are checked against the order before wrapping. Because the same pattern is woven in five different materials, material certificates should be requested at order stage if the project specification calls for them.
Certifications
- ISO9001 quality management
- Import and export licence
Customization Options
- Openings outside the eight stock sizes
- Wire diameter anywhere in the 1.20-5.00 mm band
- Roll width 0.5-5.0 m and length 1.0-50 m
- Galvanized, PVC coated, stainless or aluminium alloy wire
- Supplied with barbed wire, razor barbed wire and posts as one package
Manufacturing Process
How Chain Link Fence Is Made
Wire selection
Base wire drawn to the ordered diameter between 1.20 mm and 5.00 mm.
Coating
Galvanizing or PVC coating applied before weaving.
Weaving
Wire is spiralled and interwoven into the diamond pattern at the ordered opening.
Selvedge
Roll edges are knuckled or twisted to the ordered finish.
Rolling
Mesh is wound to length, wrapped and marked for shipment.
Comparison
How It Compares
| Product | Where It Fits |
|---|---|
| Chain link fence | Flexible, follows terrain, easy to transport, lowest cost per metre |
| Welded mesh fence | Rigid panel, straighter line, higher resistance to deformation |
| Hexagonal wire netting | Lighter gauge, for poultry, gabions and plaster reinforcement rather than security |
Use Guide
- Pick the opening first: 25-40 mm resists climbing, 50-65 mm is the general fencing range, 76-100 mm suits stock and boundary work.
- Tension the mesh between straining posts before fixing to intermediate posts.
- Use a bottom tension wire or rail to stop the mesh rolling up.
- Use PVC coated or stainless wire within a few kilometres of the coast.
- Add razor barbed wire or barbed wire arms where the boundary needs to deter rather than only demarcate.
FAQ
Chain Link Fence Questions Buyers Ask
Answers taken from our own product record. Where a figure has never been published, we say so instead of guessing.
What openings can you supply?
Eight as standard: 1" (25 mm), 1.5" (40 mm), 2" (50 mm), 2.25" (55 mm), 2.4" (60 mm), 2.5" (65 mm), 3" (76 mm) and 4" (100 mm).
What wire diameters are available?
18# to 7#, which is 1.20 mm to 5.00 mm.
How long and how wide are the rolls?
Roll length runs from 1.0 m to 50 m and roll width from 0.5 m to 5.0 m. Tell us the run length and we will advise the most economical roll size.
Can you weave it in stainless steel?
Yes. Stainless steel wire and aluminium alloy wire are both listed materials for this product, alongside low carbon, galvanized and PVC coated wire.
Is it strong enough for a construction site boundary?
The construction benefits quoted for this mesh are that it is strong, safe and flexible, does not break and does not sag or roll up at the bottom. For a site boundary, pair it with a bottom tension wire.
Can I order a non-standard specification?
Yes - materials and specifications can be made according to your specific requirements.
