Chain Link Fence Prices

• Height: 4–5 ft for farms and inner fences, 6–7 ft for compounds and security.
• Gauge (G): the lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire. 14G is heavier and stronger than 16G.
• Galvanised wire resists rust; uncoated wire rusts quickly in wet or coastal areas.

Barbed Wire Prices

Barbed wire is sold by roll length. Divide your fence length by the roll length, then multiply by the number of strands (3–5 strands is common for farm fences, 2–3 strands on top of a chain link or wall).

Binding Wire, Galvanised Wire and Hoop Iron

Binding wire ties the chain link to the straining wires and ties reinforcement bars together in concrete work. Hoop iron is used to tie roof trusses to walls.

Chicken Wire, Wire Mesh and Expanded Metal

Use chicken wire for poultry runs, kitchen gardens and plastering walls. Expanded metal is stiffer and is used for security grilles and to reinforce plaster.

How Much Chain Link Do I Need?

1. Measure the full length of the fence (the perimeter), less the gate width.
2. Divide by the roll length. Add one extra roll for joints and mistakes.
3. Posts (steel, concrete or treated timber) usually go 2.5–3 m apart, with stronger straining posts at corners and gates.
4. Run 3 straining wires (bottom, middle and top) and tie the chain link to them with binding wire.
