3 Reasons You Should Consider Using Chain Wire Mesh for Fencing

Chain wire mesh fencing is an ingenious subcategory of woven fencing, first developed by Charles Barnard in the mid-19^th century. The usually galvanised steel wires are woven at every point of meeting, with each wire bent in a vertically zigzagging way, forming diamond gaps in between the wires. Chain wire mesh is a very popular fencing option, as its design has many benefits. So, what are these benefits? And what are the reasons you should consider using chain wire mesh?

1. It's cost-effective.

Due to its effectiveness, cost, strength, and durability, chain wire mesh fencing can be seen around many properties, construction sites, and almost all fenced ovals in Australia. Usually under $10 per meter for a height of 1.5 meters, chain wire mesh is certainly one of the most cost-effective mesh fencing options.

2. There are many customisations available.

There are many options when choosing your chain wire mesh fencing. For example, options with varying fence height, inter-wire gap-size, and wire type are almost always available. You can also get custom made gates to suite your choices. For example, you could get a reinforced gate covered by chain wire mesh and of the height of your chain wire mesh fence.

Also, slats can be added to chain wire mesh fencing and gates to add privacy and strength to the already strong fence. Slats are inserts which can be made of many different materials, like wood, plastic, or artificial hedge, and with many different designs, like horizontal, vertical, or reinforced slat arrangements.

3. It's quick and easy to install.

Chain wire mesh installation only requires set posts, chain wire mesh, and wire to connect the mesh to the posts. These posts can be made with a variety of materials, but are most commonly made of timber, steel, or concrete. It's recommended to set corner or gate adjacent posts in the soil with concrete, to increase the structural strength of the fence, but all other posts can simply be buried in the ground.

If you have little or no construction experience, you should consider hiring a fence contractor such as Central Coast Fencing Industries Pty Ltd to make sure the job gets done with high quality and in little time. To get wire mesh fencing installed around all or part of a small to medium sized property shouldn't take much longer than a few days, and should remain standing, without maintenance, for decades.
