FAQs
What is the main benefit of the PVC coating?
The PVC coating provides enhanced protection against UV rays, rust, and general wear, significantly increasing the fence's durability and lifespan, especially in outdoor conditions.
Can this fence be used for larger animals like horses?
The 1-meter height and 60x60mm mesh size are generally more suited for smaller animals or marking boundaries. For larger livestock, a taller and sturdier fence designed for that purpose would be recommended.
How much fence comes in one roll?
Each roll contains 25 meters of chain link fence.
What tools are needed for installation?
While spike anchors are included, you will likely need a hammer or mallet to drive them into the ground, and pliers or wire cutters for the binding wire and potentially trimming the fence.
Is the fence suitable for coastal areas?
Yes, the galvanized steel with PVC coating offers good resistance to corrosion, making it more suitable for coastal environments than untreated metal.
Can I extend the fence beyond 25 meters?
Yes, you can purchase additional rolls of the same fence and connect them using the binding wire to create a longer barrier.
What is the diameter of the main wires?
The main steel wire diameter is 1.3 mm, which increases to 2.2 mm with the PVC coating.
Troubleshooting
Fence is not taut or is sagging.
Ensure all posts are securely anchored in the ground. Check that the binding wire is tightly wrapped around the posts and fence mesh at regular intervals. Re-tension wires if necessary.
Spike anchors are difficult to drive into the ground.
If the ground is very hard or rocky, consider pre-drilling holes or using a heavier mallet. Soaking the ground beforehand can also help. For extremely difficult conditions, alternative anchoring methods might be needed.
Fence mesh appears loose or is separating.
Verify that the interlocking weave is properly engaged. Ensure binding wire is used consistently to secure the fence to the posts, especially at the top and bottom edges.
Posts feel unstable after installation.
Re-drive the spike anchors deeper into the ground. Ensure the posts are correctly seated on the spikes and secured with binding wire if applicable. Use strut posts at corners and ends for maximum stability.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a secure and long-lasting perimeter.
- Resistant to environmental factors like rust and UV rays.
- Flexible yet strong interlocking design.
- Can be cut to custom lengths.
- Includes necessary hardware like spike anchors and binding wire for easier setup.
Cons
- Requires assembly, which can be time-consuming.
- Spike anchors may require significant force to insert into hard ground.
- The mesh size (60 x 60 mm) might not be suitable for all types of animals.
- The included posts are for anchoring, not for creating a continuous fence line without additional support.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Plan Your Layout: Determine the desired fence line and mark the locations for the straight and strut posts.
- Install Posts: Securely drive the spike anchors into the ground at the marked locations. Attach the straight posts and strut posts to their respective spikes. For stability, strut posts should be placed at corners and ends.
- Unroll Fence: Carefully unroll the chain link fence along the post line. Attach the fence to the posts using the included binding wire, ensuring it is taut.
- Secure Edges: Use additional binding wire to secure the top and bottom edges of the fence to the posts for added stability.
- Trimming: If needed, use appropriate cutting tools to trim the fence to the exact length required.
Compatibility:
- The fence is designed to work with the provided spike anchors and posts. For uneven or very hard ground, additional anchoring methods might be considered.
- The 60x60 mm mesh size is suitable for most general purposes but may not deter very determined digging animals or contain very small pets without additional measures at the base.
Care:
- The galvanized steel with PVC coating is designed for low maintenance. Regularly inspect the fence for any damage or wear.
- Clean the fence with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the PVC coating.
- Ensure the ground around the base remains clear to prevent moisture buildup that could affect the lower wire strands over time.
