Galvanized Chain Link
Galvanized chain link remains the favorite for residential and industrial chain link fencing needs. You can get chain link in galvanized steel or chain link that is vinyl coated and available in several colors. Chain link is still one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to provide security and access control. * Chain link is long lasting and weather resistant * Chain link provides optional security and protection * Chain link is easily customized for special jobs * Chain link has great flexibility for variety of applications * Chain link is available in a variety of dimensions and styles, as suited to your needs * Chain link is one of the easiest and fastest fences that can be built |
All Chain Link Fences Are Not The Same |
Chain-link has four elements: fabric, framework, fittings and gates. How you combine them makes all the difference. Each of these components are available in a range of weights (gauges) and types of protective coatings. Providers can mix and match chain link components in an effort to shave costs or differentiate their product. Our minimum recommendations will typically follow the minimum practices defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). There are two primary ways that chain link fabric is galvanized (coated with zinc). The most common is Galvanized After Weaving (GAW) where the steel wire is formed into chain link fabric first and then galvanized. The alternative is Galvanized Before Weaving (GBW) where the strand of wire is galvanized before being formed into the mesh. There is some debate over which is the best method. GAW ensures that all of the wire is coated, even the cut ends, and galvanizing the wire after is formed also tends to increase the tensile strength of the finished product. GAW is typically the method of choice for the larger manufactureers, since it requires a higher level of manufacturing expertise and capital investment than simply weaving the wire, and it yields efficiencies only available wit this method. GBW is a good product, provided it has a comparable diamond size, weight of zinc coating, gauge and tensile strength. |
Fittings Hold It All Together |
You know a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The same applies to a chain link fence. All steel fittings such as bands, tension bars, nuts and bolts, and gate hardware must be hot dip galvanized to prevent corrowion with similar coatings as with the framework and fabric. Some items such as rail ends and eye tops are made from die-cast aluminum as well as galvanized steel. Gate hardware is very important since it affects the operation of the only moving part of the chain link fence. The pintel is the post hinge and receiver of the gate, and the frame hinge must be perfectly round so the gate hangs correctly and doesn't sag.
