Chain Link vs. Welded Wire
Temporary fence panels are typically constructed of either chain link or welded wire mesh. Both offer a sturdy and effective barrier for construction projects.
Chain link
Chain link fencing is interwoven metal wire creating a "diamond" pattern. The mesh is secured to the frame using steel components.
The common mesh size for chain link is 2"x2" but many other sizes are available.
Welded wire
Welded wire fencing is constructed of c
riss-crossed metal wire creating a rectangular pattern. The mesh is welded at every intersection, and directly to the frame. Common mesh sizes for welded wire are 2"x4" and 2"x6" but as with chain link, other variations are also available. Welded wire offers the added benefit of being very difficult to climb, which may be a consideration for your job site.
