Textile Term: Chain Link Fabric
Chain link fabric, commonly referred to as wire mesh or chain link fence, is a woven fabric produced from galvanized or coated steel wire. Employed in industrial, commercial, and residential settings, it serves as a formidable fencing material.
Chain link fabric is made by weaving steel wires in a diamond pattern. The wires are interlocked at the intersection points to create a continuous and durable mesh. The size of the diamond pattern can vary depending on the desired strength and visibility of the fabric.
Chain link fabric can be produced in different gauges or thicknesses of wire, which affects the strength and durability of the fabric. Thicker wires are stronger and more durable, but they may also reduce visibility through the fabric.
In addition to fencing, chain link fabric can also be used for other applications such as animal cages, safety barriers, and decorative purposes. It is a versatile and cost-effective material that provides security and protection in a variety of settings.
