PVC-coated chain link fences are designed to provide enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
1. Material and Coating
- Base Material: Made from galvanized steel wire, which is then coated with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for added protection.
- Coating Thickness:
- Typically ranges from 10 to 14 mils (0.010 to 0.014 inches) for heavy mil coatings.
- PVC coatings can also be applied in various thicknesses depending on the manufacturing process.
2. Wire Diameter Options
- Common wire diameters before coating:
- 1.6 mm to 5 mm (approximately 0.063 to 0.197 inches).
- After coating, the wire diameter increases due to the PVC layer:
- For example, a wire with a diameter of 2 mm before coating may measure approximately 3.2 mm after coating.
3. Mesh Size
- Standard mesh sizes include:
- 50 mm x 50 mm (approximately 2 inches x 2 inches).
- Other sizes may be available upon request.
4. Wire Gauge Options
- Common wire gauges (SWG):
- 12 gauge: Approximately 2.2 mm.
- 14 gauge: Approximately 1.6 mm.
- 16 gauge: Approximately 1.2 mm.
5. Color Options
- Standard colors include:
- Custom colors may be available upon request.
6. Applications
- Primarily used for:
- Fencing in playgrounds, gardens, sports fields, and residential areas.
- Security fencing for commercial properties and industrial sites.
- Animal enclosures and agricultural applications.
7. Durability and Warranty
- PVC-coated chain link fences typically come with a warranty of 10 to 15 years, depending on the manufacturer and specific product line.
Additional Features
- The PVC coating provides an additional layer of protection against corrosion, enhancing the longevity of the fence compared to standard galvanized options.
- The woven diamond pattern of the mesh provides strength and flexibility, making it effective for various fencing needs.
These specifications ensure that PVC-coated chain link fences meet industry standards for performance and reliability while offering aesthetic advantages for various applications.
