What gauge chain link fence should I use and why?

We weave chain-link fence wire into a unique pattern with diamond-shaped holes. The smaller the holes, the more wire is needed to create the fence. This leads to an increase in the fence's strength, stability, and safety. In today's article, we will guide you on the correct gauge chain link fence for your commercial property.

Benefits of Chain Link Fences
Chain-link fences are the safest option in terms of reliability, strength, and cost. Although more commercial property owner prefer a visual barrier when building privacy walls, a chain link fence provide more protection and prohibits intruders from hiding. Unlike plastic and timber, chain-link fences are cost-effective and reliable, especially when you have a large commercial space.

Unlike visible walls and fences made of wooden, vinyl, or aluminum materials, chain-link fences have a unique construction, providing more stability and clarity. At the same time, it allows sunlight to flow through easily.

Our company offers chain-link fencing installation for different commercial properties, including business parks, parking lots, playgrounds, sports fields, and athletic grounds. Chain-link fences are an excellent, reliable, and secure option for all types of commercial applications.

Chain Link Fence Gauges

The factors that determine the efficacy and durability of chain link fences include wire type, mesh size, and gauge size. These parts make up a high-quality chain link fence because each component produces a different outcome. It's important to understand the differences in gauge sizes so that you can make the best decision or choice that will help you achieve your goals.

Choosing the right chain link fence requires you to focus on various factors, such as the material, quality of the wire, security, stability, size, height, and gauge. Chain link wire comes in various gauges, including fine or delicate and heavy-duty wires. As the gauge number gets lower, this indicates that the wire is getting thicker.

For instance, a 9-gauge chain link fence is the standard gauge for commercial properties, leading to resistance against wear and tear and increased stability. We recommend a 6-gauge link fence for your property if it takes more beating. A 6-gauge chain link fence is suitable for baseball and basketball courts because it can bear the impact of high-speed baseballs.

What are Wire Gauge Sizes?

Gauge measures the wire's diameter and the amount of steel used in creating the mesh fabric of the fence. Gauge numbers show the difference in size for chain link fences. Lower gauge numbers mean more thickness. For instance, a 12 gauge chain-link fence wire is thinner than a 7-gauge wire.

The most common chain link fence gauges for commercial properties are .192 inches (6-gauge), .148 inches (9-gauge), .120 inches (11 gauge), and .113 inches (11.5 gauge). Although 9-gauge is the most common gauge for commercial properties, we recommend 11 and 11.5 gauge for temporary fencing.

On the other hand, if you have a high commercial application that requires more security, our expert will use the 6-gauge chain link fence. The 6-gauge chain link fence provides more security and stability due to the greater thickness of the wire.
