Description Metal chain link fence is also called diamond wire mesh. It is made by weaving metal wires into diamond shapes. BMP supplies this fence in galvanized, PVC, or PE coated finishes. It suits gardens, schools, factories, roads, and event sites.



Types of Materials Used Metal Chain Link Fence
Galvanized Steel Wire
- Most common base for chain link fence
- Zinc coating stops rust
- Two types: electro-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized
PVC Coated Wire
- Galvanized core + PVC outer layer
- More color options: green, black, orange, brown, white
- Best for public areas like parks and homes
PE (Polyethylene) Coated Wire
- Strong UV resistance and flexibility
- Ideal for hot, dry, or coastal zones
- Bright colors improve visibility, great for safety
Stainless Steel Wire
- No coating needed
- High rust resistance, long life (30+ years)
- Used in chemical plants or marine zones
Aluminum-Coated Wire
- Steel wire with aluminum coating
- Resists rust in salty or industrial air
- Mid-price, long life option for metal chain link fence

Before You Use Metal Chain Link Fence
- Purpose: Choose specs for home, commercial, or temp use
- Security: Use barb or razor top for high-risk areas
- Climate: Select PE/PVC coating for heat or salt air
- Budget: Cost-effective vs welded mesh
- art="5178" data-end="5223">Visibility: Use orange for safety areas
How to Choose the Right Material for Your Chain Link Fence
Key Factors
- Climate – Heat, humidity, salt air, or chemicals affect corrosion speed.
- Budget – Higher coatings cost more but last longer.
- Security – High-risk zones need tougher metal chain link fence wire.
- Maintenance – Some finishes need only light cleaning.
- Aesthetics – Color and shine should match surroundings.
Tropical & Humid Climates (e.g., Singapore)
-
Use PVC-coated wire to resist moisture and prevent rust.
-
Aluminum-coated wire offers strong corrosion resistance.
-
Stainless steel is ideal for areas with coastal salt spray.

Security & Wire Gauge
- Use 8 gauge for prisons, airports, or cash yards.
- Use 9 gauge for factories or warehouses.
- Use 11 gauge for gardens or sport courts.
Aesthetic & Visibility
- Green or black PVC blends with landscaping.
- Orange PE stands out for safety fencing.
- Shiny aluminum suits modern commercial lots.
Maintenance Load
- Galvanized: inspect yearly; repaint cut ends.
- PVC/PE: rinse twice a year; no recoating needed.
- Stainless: wash salt spray monthly near the sea.
Quick Selection Guide
- Low Cost, Short Term → Galvanized metal chain link fence.
- City Park or School → PVC-coated in green or black.
- Road Work Safety → Bright orange PE-coated.
- Coastal Warehouse → Aluminum-coated or stainless steel.
- Chemical Plant → Stainless steel mesh and posts.
Final Check List
- Confirm soil type; order longer posts for soft sand.
- Match fittings to the chosen coating to avoid galvanic rust.
- Plan tension wire and barbed or razor tops for added security.
- Ask BMP for sample rolls before the bulk order.
Use these points to balance cost, durability, and look. The right material keeps your metal chain link fence strong for its full service life.

What’s more, the Chain Link Fence with barbed edges is more popular and has higher security.

FAQ | Metal Chain Link Fence
What mesh sizes can I buy?
BMP stocks 25 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, and 75 mm meshes.
Which wire gauges are most popular?
Eight-gauge, nine-gauge, and eleven-gauge fit most metal chain link fence jobs.
How do I measure my project?
Walk the fence line, mark corners, then total the linear meters.
Can I install on a slope?
Yes. Step the posts, then stretch the mesh between each level.
What tools do I need?
Use a come-along, tension bar, pliers, level, and cutting wheel.
Does metal chain link fence suit pets?
Yes. Pick smaller mesh and bury bottom wire to stop digging.
How do I cut extra mesh?
Clip single links with bolt cutters, then twist the wire free.
Can I add privacy slats later?
Yes. Slide slats through the metal chain link fence after you finish.
Do you supply swing or sliding gates?
BMP builds matching gates with the same mesh and coating.
What colors stay cool in heat?
Light gray and beige reflect sun better than black or green.
How often should I clean the fence?
Rinse every six months with water and mild soap.
How do I fix a damaged panel?
Remove broken links, weave a new section, then tighten again.
Will salt air harm galvanized wire?
Salt cuts life short. Choose PVC-coated metal chain link fence for coasts.
Can I paint over PVC coating?
No. Paint will not bond. Order the color you need from BMP.
Is metal chain link fence recyclable?
Yes. Strip the plastic, then recycle the steel core.
What certificates can you provide?
BMP issues ISO 9001, ASTM test reports, and origin forms.
How long does delivery to Qatar take?
Sea freight needs about twenty-five to thirty days from China to Doha.
What payment terms do you accept?
We support T/T, L/C at sight, and Alibaba trade orders.
Can I mix colors in one order?
Yes. Tell us the meters per color when you place the purchase.
Do you preload barbed wire on top?
We can. Choose straight barb, V-top, or Y-top during quoting.
How do I stop sag in long runs?
Add bottom tension wire and tighten top rail every twenty meters.
Does intense sun fade the coating?
PE coating resists UV, so colors stay bright for fifteen years or more.
What warranty does BMP give?
BMP offers a ten-year quality warranty on every metal chain link fence roll.
