The #1 Chain Link Fence Company in Fargo FAQ

What makes a good chain link fence?

Pick out your fence’s fabric according to the following criteria:

  • Mesh size. Mesh size determines spacing between parallel wires in the mesh. The smaller the diamond, the more steel is in the chain link fence fabric. Mesh comes in multiple sizes, ranging from 3/8”, 5/8”, ¾”, 1” 1 ¾”, 2”, 2 ¼”, 2 3/8” to 3 ½”. Larger meshes are used in residential chain link fences. We recommend nothing less than 2 3/8” mesh.
  • Wire gauge. The gauge (ga.) or diameter of chain link fence wire determines the amount of steel contained in the fabric. The smaller the gauge number, the more steel and the greater the wire’s strength. American Security and Gate Company recommends nothing less than 11 ½ gauge chain link wire for residential chain link fencing. For vinyl coated wire, always refer to the core gauge of the wire and then reference the coating. Depending on the type of vinyl coating, residential vinyl coated wire using an 11 ½ gauge core wire may have a 9 gauge finish.
  • Core wire coating.
    • Galvanized Before Weaving. For this type of coating, the wire has been galvanized prior to the weaving process. This smooth, consistent coating is also available in 1.2 and 2 oz. GBW is popular in backyards and athletic applications for its smooth finish.
    • Galvanized After Weaving. After being woven, the wire is dipped into hot melted zinc. GAW coating is available in 1.2 oz of coating per square foot or 2 oz of coating per square foot. GAW tends to leave icicles and nubs from the zinc dripping-off.
    • Aluminized Coating. Provides an aluminum finish. Its soft metal properties makes it ideal for highly acetic environments.
  • Vinyl coating over finished core wire. According to ASTM 668, vinyl coated chain link fencing is specified and ordered by the metallic core wire with the specified coating to follow.
    • Class 1 Extruded. Your residential chain link is typically “non-spec class 1 extruded” wire. The vinyl coating is pulled over the wire like a sock. The increased thickness of this wire is because it is not bonded to the chain link and can easily tear or peel.
    • Class 2A Extruded and Bonded. Class 2A extruded and bonded” wire is thinner than the Class 1 Extruded wire, may appear in some specifications, and is generally used in commercial applications. However, the extruded and bonded wire is bonded to the wire by means of an intense glue, thus less likely to peel or tear from the core wire.
    • Class 2B Fused and Bonded. Class 2B Thermally Fused and Bonded has the thinnest coating yet has the greatest strength in resisting cracking, peeling and tearing. The vinyl coating is literally fused and bonded to the steel like welding two pieces of steel together. This is the superior vinyl coating, most commonly specified with architects, engineers, city, state and federal.
