OEM Woven Metal Fence Panels – Factory Direct Supply

Woven metal fence panels are fabricated by interlacing steel wires to form a uniform mesh that provides both tensile strength and open area for airflow or visibility. This construction method eliminates the need for welding at each intersection, reducing potential weak points and allowing the panel to distribute loads across the entire structure.

Material & Construction

The base wire is typically low‑carbon steel with a diameter ranging from 2.0 mm to 4.0 mm, selected according to the required panel rigidity and wind load resistance. After weaving, the mesh undergoes hot‑dip galvanization to a minimum zinc coating of 60 g/m², followed optionally by a PVC or PE coating of 0.15 mm thickness for additional corrosion protection and color options.

The weaving pattern creates a nominal opening size (clear opening) between 25 mm and 100 mm, measured as the distance between adjacent wires. Panel thickness, defined as the overall diameter of the woven wire plus coating, typically falls between 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm, contributing to a weight per square meter of 2.5 kg/m² to 6.0 kg/m² depending on wire gauge and finish.

Technical Specifications

Customization Options

Panels can be tailored to meet specific project requirements by adjusting wire diameter, opening size, coating type, and panel dimensions. This flexibility allows the same manufacturing line to serve applications ranging from lightweight garden enclosures to heavy‑duty industrial perimeters.

• Wire diameter: 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm
• Opening size: 25 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm (custom available)
• Finish: hot‑dip galvanized only, galvanized + PVC, galvanized + PE, powder coated (RAL colors)
• Panel width: 0.5 m to 3.0 m (standard increments of 0.5 m)
• Panel height: 0.5 m to 2.5 m (custom lengths available)
• Edge treatment: folded selvage, welded edge frame, or raw edge for on‑site fastening

Applications

In agricultural settings, the open mesh design provides effective livestock containment while allowing ventilation and sunlight penetration, reducing heat buildup inside enclosures. The corrosion‑resistant coating ensures longevity even when exposed to fertilizers, animal waste, and fluctuating moisture levels.

For industrial perimeters, the high tensile strength of the woven wire resists impact from equipment or vehicles, and the uniform aperture size prevents climbing while still permitting visual surveillance. When specified with a tighter opening (≤ 40 mm), the panel also functions as a debris barrier for machining zones or waste handling areas.

Noise‑abatement installations benefit from the panel’s ability to support absorbent backing materials; the open structure facilitates mounting of acoustic foams or mineral wool without compromising structural integrity. Additionally, the aesthetic flexibility of colored PVC or powder coats allows integration into architectural landscapes where visual appeal is a design criterion.

Quality Control & Testing

Every production lot undergoes dimensional verification using calibrated laser scanners to confirm wire diameter, opening size, and panel squareness within ±0.2 mm tolerance. Visual inspection is conducted under standardized lighting to detect coating defects such as pinholes, runs, or insufficient coverage.

Mechanical properties are validated by tensile testing of extracted wire samples according to ISO 6892‑1, ensuring a minimum yield strength of 350 MPa. Adhesion of polymeric coatings is assessed via cross‑hatch tape tests (ASTM D3359) with a target rating of 4B or higher, indicating adequate bonding for long‑term outdoor exposure.

Corrosion resistance is evaluated through salt‑spray exposure (ASTM B117) for a minimum of 500 hours, after which the coating is inspected for rust formation; acceptance criteria require no red rust exceeding 0.1 % of the surface area. All test results are retained and made available to customers upon request.

Packaging & Logistics

Panels are stacked flat on wooden pallets, with each layer separated by corrugated cardboard to prevent abrasion. The stack is then secured with polypropylene straps and wrapped in UV‑stabilized polyethylene film to protect against moisture and dust during transit.

Standard pallet dimensions are 1.1 m × 1.1 m, accommodating up to 20 panels depending on height and weight; total pallet load does not exceed 1,200 kg to comply with container weight limits. For overseas shipments, pallets are fitted with corner protectors and marked with handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry”, “Do Not Stack”) to reduce the risk of damage.

Upon receipt, customers are advised to inspect the packaging for signs of water ingress or mechanical deformation before unstacking. Any deviation from the specified tolerances should be documented and reported to the supplier within 48 hours to facilitate a timely resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dimensions be customized?

Yes, panel width, height, wire diameter, and opening size can be adjusted to match project specifications. Custom tooling is available for non‑standard opening patterns or edge treatments upon request.

What information is required before quotation?

To generate an accurate quote, we need the desired panel dimensions (width × height), wire gauge, opening size, finish type (galvanized, PVC, PE, powder coat), quantity, and any special packaging or labeling requirements.

What materials are available?

The base material is low‑carbon steel wire. Finishes include hot‑dip galvanized (minimum 60 g/m² Zn), galvanized + PVC (0.15 mm), galvanized + PE (0.15 mm), and powder coating in various RAL colors. Alternative alloys such as stainless steel are available upon special request.

How is quality inspected?

Quality control includes dimensional laser scanning, visual coating inspection, tensile strength testing of wire, coating adhesion (cross‑hatch), and salt‑spray corrosion resistance. All tests follow recognized international standards and results are traceable to each production batch.

What packaging methods are available?

Standard packaging uses flat pallets with interleaving cardboard, poly‑strap securing, and PE film wrap. Options include wooden crates for extra protection, corner‑board reinforcement, and custom labeling for easy identification on site.

How are export shipments protected?

Export loads are placed in sealed containers with desiccant packs to control humidity. Pallets are fitted with corner protectors and marked with handling orientation labels. Shock‑indicating devices can be added upon request to monitor transit conditions.

What is the typical production lead time?

Lead time varies with order complexity and current plant capacity, but standard galvanized panels in common sizes typically ship within 2‑3 weeks after receipt of purchase order. Custom finishes or non‑standard dimensions may extend the timeline to 4‑6 weeks.

How are samples arranged?

Sample panels (up to 1 m²) can be dispatched via express courier at the customer’s expense. Sample requests should include the exact specification (wire size, opening, finish) to ensure the sample reflects the intended product.
