Chain link fencing is one of the most popular fencing options due to its versatility, transparency and reasonable price. Familiarity with the different types of chain link fencing available will help you choose the best selection for your project.

Kinds of Gauge

The gauge is the thickness of the metal used to make the chain link fabric. The most common options on the market are 9 used for higher-security fences and the smaller, lighter-weight 11 1/2 gauge more commonly installed on residential properties.

Height of Your Fence

While fences can be cut to nearly any height, from six to ten feet tall are the most common. Rails or barbed wire along the top can increase security.

Galvanized vs. Coated

The metal of a chain link fence is always galvanized, but a vinyl coating can be sealed around it as well. The coating offers additional weather protection, safeguarding against rust and corrosion. It also presents a cleaner appearance and colored vinyl can be chosen to blend with its surroundings, rendering the fence less visible, as opposed to the industrial look of uncoated steel. However, coated chain link is more expensive than plain galvanized metal.

The range of heights and gauges of chain link available, as well as the option of vinyl coatings, make it possible to find fencing suitable for nearly any project. Contact Milwaukee Fence Inc. at 414-483-5522, for more about types of chain link fencing.
