Types of chain link fence

1. A chain link fence can be made of three distinct materials namely zinc-coated wires, aluminum wires and stainless steel wires. These different types of chain link fences have very distinct characteristics and are designed to match to the needs and preferences that people require. 

2. Zinc-coated chain link fences are also known as galvanized fences. This is where fence is dipped in zinc. Zinc is a non-reactive material; this means that it does not react to the elements and it can last for a long time before it is finally replaced. In fact, zinc coated wires have a shelf life of 10 years plus.

3. Aluminum chain link fence is very popular on account of its durability. As long as you install this type of fence, you can rest assured that it won’t be affected by the element. It is weather resistant, corrosion resistant and lightweight. When you are looking for a fence that will give you 25 years plus, a good aluminum fence should do the job perfectly.

 

4. Stainless Steel is heavy. It is almost impenetrable and hence it is used in high security areas. This heaviness also makes it very sturdy. It doesn’t bend, let alone break easily. Neither does it sag nor roll. This retention in shape makes it very secure.
