chainlink fence

Chain link is one of the most versatile fence fabric available. Available in sizes from 3 foot to 12 tall, and wire thickness ranging from 11 1/2 gauge (a thin, light weight, wire), through 9 gauge (a strong, heavy wire) to 6 gauge, which is extremely thick and resistant to dents, but usually only used in industrial applications. Our chain link steel fabric uses a hot-dip galvanize process, which protects the wire from corrosion giving you a long lasting product. 

Galvanizing is the practice of immersing clean, oxide-free iron or steel into molten zinc in order to form a zinc coating that is metallurgically bonded to the iron or steel's surface. The zinc coating protects the surface against corrosion by providing protection to the iron or steel in two ways.

1, It shields the base metal from the atmosphere.

2, Because it is more electronegative than iron or steel, the zinc gives cathodic or sacrificial protection.

Even if the surface becomes scratched and the base metal is exposed, the zinc is slowly consumed while the iron or steel remains protected from corrosion.
