CHAINWIRE 1500 X 50 X 2.5 S/GAL KK X 20M 200-2042 at a glance

Galvanised Chainwire (also known as chain wire fencing or chain wire mesh) is cost effective, durable and versatile.

Its commonly used in security fencing, sports ground fences, garden fencing, rural fencing and often temporary fencing.

What is it made from:

Heavy duty steel wire

Wire is galvanised for durability and is long-lasting

How does it work:

The mesh size of the galvanised chainwire is usually 50 diamond or 60 diamond - this is the distance between the wire that forms the parallel sides of the diamond.

The height of a chainwire roll is measured from the bottom selvedge knuckle diamond to the top knuckle (referred to as knuckle knuckle, abbreviated as KK).

For barb top (abbreviated to BT), the height is measured from the bottom selvedge knuckle diamond to the first twist of a barb top.

Unroll the chainwire along your fence line and secure the bottom edge to your posts with wire ties or fencing clips every 150-200mm, working your way up. Pull the wire taut as you go—don't leave it slack or your stock will push through. Once secured top and bottom, go back and tighten any clips that have worked loose after the first week of tensioning. Tips: Always run your fencing on the inside of your posts rather than wrapping around them, so livestock can't use the post as leverage to bend or push through the wire. Check the bottom edge regularly after wet weather or heavy stock movement, as mud and hoof action can create gaps that smaller animals will exploit. Start with corner posts set in concrete and check them weekly—a wobbly corner will make the whole run of fencing unstable.
