Description PVC chain link fence is a tough, coated mesh system built to handle harsh weather, high security zones, and public areas. It offers strong corrosion protection, an attractive finish, and easy installation.
What is a PVC Chain Link Fence?
A PVC chain link fence is a standard chain link fence coated with polyvinyl chloride for better durability and appearance. Here’s what defines it:
- Core Material: Galvanized steel wire (resists rust)
- Coating: PVC coating adds extra protection and color
- Mesh: Diamond-shaped openings from interwoven wires
- Common Colors: Green, black, brown, white
- Use: Homes, schools, factories, gardens, and sports fields

Service Life of PVC Chain Link Fence
The typical service life of a PVC chain link fence is:
15 to 25 years, depending on the environment and maintenance.
Key Factors Affecting Lifespan:
- Galvanized Core Wire
Prevents internal rust — lasts long even if PVC cracks.
- PVC Coating Quality
Thicker, UV-stabilized coatings last longer (up to 350 microns).
- Climate & Location
Coastal or industrial areas may shorten life due to salt or chemicals.
- Installation Quality
Proper tensioning, strong posts, and correct fittings ensure durability.
- Maintenance
Occasional cleaning and quick repair of damages extend lifespan.
