Request a QuoteAn 8‑foot‑high chicken wire fence is a welded mesh barrier designed for perimeter security, livestock containment, and crop protection in industrial and agricultural facilities. The product is supplied in continuous rolls, hot‑dip galvanized to resist corrosion, and prepared for export compliance with ISPM‑15 timber‑free packaging.
The fence consists of low‑carbon steel wire formed into a uniform square mesh, welded at each intersection, and coated to achieve a minimum service life in outdoor environments. Key dimensions are standardized to simplify integration with posts, gates, and tensioning hardware.
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Height | 8 ft (2.44 m) |
| Wire Diameter | 2.0 mm (12 ga) – 3.0 mm (9 ga) options |
| Mesh Opening | 50 mm × 50 mm (standard) – 25 mm to 100 mm available |
| Roll Length | 25 m – 50 m (customizable) |
| Weight per Meter | 1.2 kg/m (2 mm wire, 50 mm mesh) |
| Coating Type | Hot‑dip galvanized, Zn ≥ 55 g/m² |
| Corrosion Resistance (Salt Spray) | ≥ 500 h (ISO 9227) |

The base wire is produced from low‑carbon steel rods, cold‑drawn to achieve the required tensile strength (≈ 450 MPa) and uniform diameter. Welding is performed using resistance spot welding, creating a fused joint that maintains the wire’s mechanical properties. Immediately after welding, the mesh passes through a hot‑dip galvanizing bath where a zinc‑iron alloy layer forms, providing barrier and sacrificial protection.
An 8‑ft height provides sufficient barrier to deter large livestock such as cattle and horses while preventing smaller animals from jumping over. In agricultural fields, the fence protects crops from wildlife intrusion and supports netting systems for bird control. Industrial sites use the same specification for perimeter demarcation, equipment guarding, and safety zones where visibility and airflow must be retained.
Buyers can specify alternative wire gauges to match load requirements, tighter or wider mesh openings for specific pest control, and varying roll lengths to reduce on‑site splicing. Edge treatments include knuckled (smooth) or twisted (barbed) finishes, and the coating can be upgraded to a zinc‑aluminum alloy for extended life in aggressive environments.
Each production lot undergoes dimensional verification of wire diameter, mesh pitch, and roll width using calibrated gauges. Coating thickness is measured with a magnetic induction probe, and adhesion is assessed by a bend test. Representative samples are subjected to tensile testing to confirm weld strength and to salt‑spray chambers to validate corrosion resistance before shipment.
Rolls are wound on a rigid core, wrapped in UV‑stabilized polyethylene film, and placed on wooden pallets that meet ISPM‑15 standards. Each pallet is strapped, corner‑protected, and labeled with product code, dimensions, weight, and handling instructions. Container loading is optimized to maximize payload while minimizing movement during transit.
