Description BMP provides premium chain link fence rolls made using the Galvanized After Weaving (GAW) method. This process ensures the entire mesh—including cut ends—is coated with a thick layer of zinc for full protection against corrosion. Available in various gauges, mesh sizes, and coatings, BMP’s GAW chain link fence is ideal for long-term performance in residential, commercial, and high-security projects.

✅ ASTM A392 – Standard for Galvanized Chain Link Fence Rolls
This is the main standard used in South Africa for hot-dip galvanized chain link fencing, especially in government and industrial projects.
Key Points from ASTM A392:
- Two Zinc Coating Classes:
- Class 1: Minimum 1.2 oz/ft² (≈366 g/m²)
- Class 2: Minimum 2.0 oz/ft² (≈610 g/m²)
- Wire Gauge Options: Typically 6, 9, 11 gauge
- Mesh Size: Commonly 2″, but others accepted per spec
- Finish Type: Galvanized after weaving (GAW) is acceptable and often required
Other Standards Commonly Referenced in South Africa:
BS EN 10244-2 Chain Link Fence Rolls
- Covers steel wire with metallic coatings (for chain link wire)
- Coating Types: Heavy galvanized (HDG) and standard zinc
- Often used for mesh and fencing wire standards
QCS (South Africa Construction Specifications)
- QCS 2014 and QCS 2022 reference ASTM A392 and BS EN standards for fencing
- In most cases, government or consultant projects will require ASTM A392 Class 2 coating for better corrosion resistance

When to Use Chain Link Fence Rolls
- Moisture-Prone Areas: GAW provides rust resistance in humid or wet zones
- High-Corrosion Zones: Ideal where metal contact with water or chemicals is expected
- Long-Term Installations: Best when you need durability for over 10 years
- High-Security Needs: Use smaller mesh sizes and barbed selvage for deterrence
- Indoor Use: GAW mesh is clean and doesn’t flake like painted coatings
