Why the confusion? It all stems from the gauge. Is it finished gauge or core wire gauge? According to ASTM 668, vinyl coated chain link is specified and ordered by the metallic core wire. However, according to various suppliers, they may interpret your request to mean a finished gauge ( metallic core wire plus vinyl coating). For example, a 9ga finished extruded and bonded wire has only an 11 ga. core wire.

The second issue is the type of coating. Your residential chain link is typically &#;non-spec class 1 extruded&#; wire, meaning the vinyl coating is simply pulled over the wire like a sock over your foot. This wire generally is miss represented because it is thicker than the higher grade materials. Of course the reason it is thicker is because it is not bonded to the chain link and can easily tear or peal.
The second grade of wire is the &#;class 2A extruded and bonded&#; wire. This wire may appear in some specifications and is generally used in commercial applications. The vinyl coating is thinner than the &#;class 1 extruded&#; wire. However, the extruded and bonded wire is bonded to the wire by means of an intense glue, thus less likely to peal or tear from the core wire.
The third grade of wire is &#;class 2b thermally fused and bonded. This class of wire is most predominately specified with architects, engineers, city, state and federal. It has the thinnest coating yet has the greatest strength in resisting cracking, pealing and tearing. The vinyl coating is literally fused and bonded to the steel like welding two pieces of steel together. This is the superior product.
Bottom line, how do you interpret the specifications you are given? If the gauge of material is indicated, yet it does not indicate finished or core wire; it should be interpreted to mean the core wire per the ASTM.
How do you order your materials? Always indicate the core wire size with the gauge and the words &#;core wire&#; behind the gauge. For example if you want a 9 ga. core wire, indicate on your request &#; 9ga. core wire&#;. After the gauge, then indicate the type of coating. Select one of the three listed above. Never list the finished gauge and never leave off the words &#;core wire&#;.
Attractive, versatile and creative - PVC coated chain-link fencing can be an excellent choice. With the right fence you can expect years of protection, privacy and value. PVC chain-link fencing comes in a wide range of qualities, colors, sizes and types.
Material: PVC coated wire, core of it can be electro galvanized iron wire, hot-dipped galvanized iron wire or black annealed iron wire.
Weaving and features: The most common way is the wire material coated with PVC before Weaving (GAW), where the PVC coated iron wire is formed into chain-link fabric first and then weaved. Woven diamond pattern provides strong, durable and flexible construction. The closely spaced diamond mesh construction gives your fence linear strength and springy texture to protect horses from injury and prevent predators from entering paddocks and pastures.
Colors: Standard colors are black, brown and green, or other colors at customers request.
Applications: PVC coated chain link fence is mainly used as fences for playground and gardens, super highway, railway, airport, port, residence, etc. Chain link fence is also used in breeding of animals.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coatings can supplement the metallic protective coatings described above. You'll gain an additional defense against corrosion, and add aesthetics to blend with the environment. There is a primary method of coating we recommend both of which require sound process controls to ensure that the wire material is properly prepared to receive the coating:
Both products, properly applied, will provide good results; however, the trend is increasingly toward the PVC product. The product was warranted for 10-15 years. We don't recommend painting the framework. That might save a few dollars now, but continued maintenance will likely cost more in the long run.
Chain link fence is used as fencing for sports field, river banks, construction and residence, also animal fencing.
