Chain link fence (also known as chain link fencing) is one of the most common styles of fencing for sport ground and stadium. It comes in a variety of sizes, strengths, and finishes, each which should be selected based on the purpose customer..

Chain-Link Fabric
Otter Fencing has the latest automated machinery to manufacture Chain-Link fabric for the industry in a wide range of heights and pitch sizes, which can be used for security fencing, tennis courts and many other applications to suit your specific requirements.
Coating finishes
Our Chain-Link fabric is made wire for guaranteed quality, and you can choose from a Heavy Galvanised wire (Class W10) or P.V.C. coated wire, in Black or Dark Green.
1. Heavy Galvanized (HG) wire (Class W10)
Heavy v Standard Galvanised coated wire
Standard Galvanised wire (Class W02) should not be mistaken or passed off for Heavy Galvanised wire (Class W10). Indicative figures from Onesteel® research reflect a life to the onset of red rust of greater than 4 times between Standard and Heavy Galvanised coatings in low corrosion environments. In wire for Chain-Link fabric (2.50mm and 3.15mm diameter) there is a differential in coating mass of approximately 200g/m2 between Standard and Heavy Galvanised Coatings.
NB: The inferior metallic coating of Standard Galvanized coated wire does not meet the Australian Standard - Chain-Link Fabric Security Fences and Gates (AS 1725-2003).

2. Polyvinyl Chloride coated wire, (commonly known as P.V.C. coated wire), is available in standard colours of either Black or Dark Green.
P.V.C. coated wire diameters are measured and specified by the core base Galvanized wire diameter.

Chain-Link Fabric - Service Duty

Light Duty: is manufactured from 2.50mm dia. wire and is used in lighter applications.
Heavy Duty: is manufactured from 3.15mm dia. wire and is used in more durable applications. e.g. security, industrial and sports fencing.
NB: Light Duty 2.50mm Chain-Link fabric provides for only approximately 60% of the load bearing capacity of heavy 3.15mm Chain-Link fabric.
Standard diamond (pitch) size

NB: The pitch is measured diagonally across the diamond and is only a nominal measurement
50mm pitch: is the standard pitch size of Chain-Link fabric and is used in most applications.
45mm pitch: is used for tennis court fencing and gates.
40mm and 32mm pitch: is used where a smaller pitch size is required e.g. animal enclosures or golf screens.
Selvedge
Chain-Link fabric is available in 3 selvedge finishes:
