Fencing & Guardrails
Chain Link Fence
Chain link fence is a diamond mesh fencing system for perimeter protection. QY Metal Tech can quote galvanized or PVC coated rolls together with posts, rails, tension wire, gates and fittings for site installation.
Buyer overview
Chain Link Fence Rolls and Complete Fence Systems
QY Metal Tech checks fence fabric, post system, gates and accessories together so the quotation covers the installed fence system, not just mesh rolls.
Fence fabric
Confirm height, roll length, wire diameter, mesh opening and selvage.
Coating choice
Galvanized or PVC coated finish should match outdoor exposure and project color.
Posts and gates
Line posts, terminal posts, top rail, tension wire, fittings and gates should be listed together.
Site layout
Total length, corners, gate positions and installation method help calculate the system.
Packing marks
Rolls, posts and accessory cartons can be packed by project area or installation sequence.
Applications
Where Chain Link Fence is commonly used
Yard and farm boundaries
Diamond mesh rolls create visible boundary lines for farms, yards, parks and temporary project areas.
Sports field perimeter
Fence height, roll length and opening size can be matched to courts, fields and public facilities.
Facility and utility enclosures
Posts, top rail, tension wire and gates can be supplied together for industrial or utility perimeter projects.

FAQ
Chain Link Fence questions before inquiry
What is chain link fence used for?
Yards, farms, sports fields, factories, utility areas and long perimeter boundaries where visibility and flexible installation matter.
What mesh and wire sizes are common?
50 × 50 mm diamond mesh with 2.5 mm galvanized wire is a common example; height, opening and wire size follow your security level and budget.
Galvanized or PVC coated: which one?
Galvanized fabric is the standard outdoor choice. PVC coating adds color and extra protection where appearance matters.
Can posts, rails and gates be supplied too?
Yes. Mesh rolls, line and terminal posts, top rail, tension wire, ties, caps, fittings and gates can be quoted as one system.
How should I state the mesh opening and wire diameter?
Say whether the opening is clear (inside to inside) or center to center, and whether the wire diameter is before or after coating.
How is chain link fence packed?
Rolls, posts and accessory cartons can be packed and marked by fence section or installation area.

Fence and wire measurement checklists
Chain link fence layout and wire measurement details
The one-page Fence Panel RFQ Checklist and Opening & Wire Diameter Checklist cover several wire fence families. Their applicable layout and measurement fields are reproduced here.

| Review item | Information to provide |
|---|---|
| Site layout | Total length, corners, slope changes and gate positions. |
| Fence family | Chain link fence for this product. The shared checklist also lists welded mesh fence and double wire fence. |
| Mesh and size | Height, width, wire diameter, mesh opening and frame detail where applicable. Specify roll or panel form. |
| Posts | Post section and embedded or base plate installation. The shared checklist lists round, square and peach posts; confirm the post appropriate to the selected fence system. |
| Gates and accessories | Gate size, clips, bolts, caps and terminal posts. |
| Finish | Hot-dip galvanized, powder coated or PVC coated, and color code as applicable to each component. |
| Packing | Panel or roll marks, post marks, accessory cartons and destination. Send drawings or photos for quotation review. |
| Measurement | Definition to confirm |
|---|---|
| Opening basis | Clear opening inside-to-inside, center-to-center pitch or mesh count; state which basis is being used. |
| Opening direction | Mark length x width, diamond direction or roll direction. |
| Wire diameter | Diameter before coating or diameter after coating; confirm gauge or mm and the material: low carbon steel, galvanized wire, stainless steel or PVC coated wire. |
| Format and tolerance | Roll width and length, panel size, sheet size or cut-to-size tolerance, as applicable. |
| Edges | Edge wire, frame, folded edge, cut edge or border requirement, as applicable to the selected product. |

Shared-checklist wording example – welded mesh only: welded mesh panel, 50 x 50 mm clear opening, 4.0 mm wire after galvanizing, panel 1000 x 2000 mm, hot-dip galvanized, 500 pcs, export pallet packing. This illustrates how to write an RFQ; it is not a chain link size, stock offer or project-approved specification.
