Aluminum-Coated Before Weaving Steel Chain Link Fabric Fence

Aluminum-coated chain-link fence fabric is also called aluminized steel chain-link fence fabric with excellent rust and corrosion resistance. Aluminized before-weaving chain link fence fabric is woven using proven industry procedures to ensure a smooth consistent surface. It is no blisters, flaking and other defects. Our aluminized chain-link mesh fabric is conform to all requirements of ASTM A491.

Aluminized chain-link fence fabric specification:

• Materials: cold-drawn steel wire in aluminum coated, wire diameter and the aluminum coating weight as specified in table 1.
• Wire breaking strength: see table 1.
• Permissible variation of wire diameter: ±0.13 mm.
• Diamond count: see table 2.
• Mesh size: see table 3, table 4, and picture ACL-2 below.
• Permissible variation of mesh size:
  • ±1.6 mm for mesh sizes 25.4 mm and under.
  • ±3.2 mm for mesh sizes over 25.4 mm.
• Height of fabric: table 3. Custom order fabric height upto 6.56 m.
• Selvage:
  • Knuckled selvage for less than 50 mm mesh opening fabric.
  • Both knuckled selvage for less than 1800 mm high fabric
  • knuckled at one selvage and twisted (barbed) at the other for 1800 mm high fabric and over.
• Fabric roll length: 50 ft (15.24 m), permissible variation ±1%.
• Packaging: chain link fabric is tightly rolled and firmly tied. Each roll carry a tag showing the type of coating, the specified wire size, mesh size, the specified length and height of fabric in the roll, and the name and mark of the manufacturer.

Application: Aluminized chain link mesh fabric with perfect anti-corrosion and anti-rust characteristic is widely used for sports fencing and commercial, family residential protection fencing system, such as, swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas fence, outdoor play area fence, tennis court fence, baseball and softball field fence, cricket fencing enclosures, and even used as chain link security fence. Their details as the following.

1. Aluminum-coated chain link fences for residential outdoor swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas
   • Chain link wire gauge: 9–11 gauge.

Security chain link fabric considerations	Wire gauge	Mesh opening size
Standard Industrial Commercial Chain Link Mesh	9 gauge	2 in. mesh
Bolt cutters required for heavier 6 gauge wire	6 gauge	2 in. mesh
Smaller mesh size increases difficulty to climb and time to cut thru	9 gauge	1 3/4 in. mesh
Bolt cutters required for heavier 6 gauge wire	6 gauge	1 3/4 in. mesh
1 in. mesh increases difficulty to climb and increases time to cut thru	11 gauge	1 in. mesh
9 gauge wire increases cutting time to that of 11 gauge, above	9 gauge	1 in. mesh
Small mesh sizes eliminates finger hold for climbing	11 gauge	5/8 in. mesh
Small mesh requires special equipment to cut through	11 gauge	1/2 in. mesh
Small mesh with larger wire, maximum security	9 gauge	1/2 in. mesh
Penetration time is increased to cut through small mesh	11 gauge	3/8 in. mesh
