Selection Points

Use these points to compare suppliers and send an RFQ with enough information for a useful reply.

01

Gauge and wire diameter

Gauge numbers can confuse buyers because lower gauge usually means thicker wire. Metric diameter should be confirmed when comparing international suppliers.

  • Confirm raw wire diameter and coated diameter.
  • Use heavier wire for sports fields, storage yards and repeated impact.
  • Ask for sample roll photos when requirements are strict.
02

Mesh opening and roll size

The diamond opening and roll size define visibility, strength, packing and installation speed.

  • Common openings include 50mm, 60mm and 75mm.
  • Roll height and roll length should match post spacing and site layout.
  • Compact roll packing may reduce freight volume.
03

Selvage and fittings

Selvage type and fittings should be confirmed before shipment because they affect safety and installation.

  • Confirm knuckle, twist or knuckle-twist edge.
  • List terminal posts, line posts, top rail and tension wire.
  • Include tie wire, bands, bars and caps.

Common Buyer Questions

These answers help reduce repeated clarification before price, packing and delivery details are prepared.

Top rail is not always required, but it improves alignment and strength in many permanent installations.

Can chain link fence be PVC coated?
