A chain-link fence is a type of woven fence usually made from galvanized steel wire. The chain-link fence wire runs vertically and is bent into a zigzag pattern so that each “zig” hooks with the wire immediately on one side and each “zag” with the wire immediately on the other. This forms the characteristic chain link fence diamond pattern seen in this type of steel fence.
Common chain link fence heights include 3′, 42″, 4′, 5′, 6′, 7′, 8′, 10′, and 12′, though almost any height is possible. Common mesh gauges are 6, 9, and 11. A chain-link fence is a relatively low cost and easy to install. Due to the open weave, the chain-link fence offers little privacy. This can be improved by the insertion of slats into the mesh or the installation of fence screen fabric on the surface
