Fence
A chain link fence is a woven wire fabric that packs flat and unrolls on site, which is why it remains the default enclosure for sports courts, compound edges and long boundary runs. Hebei Jinbiao supplies chain link fence in rolls with matching posts and fittings, in electric galvanised, hot dip galvanised and PVC coated finishes. For a sports court the choice of wire diameter, mesh size and roll height decides whether the fence stops a ball cleanly or lets it through.
Wire and mesh range
• Wire diameter: 2.5 mm to 4.88 mm
• Mesh size: 60 × 60 mm, 50 × 50 mm, 40 × 40 mm, 30 × 30 mm
• Roll height: 900 mm, 1000 mm, 1200 mm, 1500 mm, 1800 mm, 2000 mm, 2200 mm
• Roll length: 12 m, 15 m, 18 m, 30 m
• Post type: round post, sized against the mesh size and roll height
• Edge types: knuckle and knuckle, knuckle and twist, twist and twist
For a court enclosure the mesh needs to be fine enough that a ball cannot pass through and heavy enough that it does not deform on impact. A 40 mm or 30 mm mesh in 3.5 mm to 4 mm wire is the usual combination for tennis and multi-use courts, while a 50 mm mesh on a 3 mm wire is adequate for a boundary that only has to keep people out.
Edge finish and safety
The edge of a chain link fence roll is either knuckled or twisted. A knuckled edge folds the wire back on itself and leaves no projecting end, which is the right choice at the bottom of a court fence where players run close to the fabric, and at hand height along a walkway. A twisted edge is faster to produce and is used where the fence is against a post line and no one brushes past it. Where a fence has a knuckled bottom and a twisted top, the roll is described as knuckle and twist.
Coatings
• Electric galvanised wire
• Electric galvanised wire with PVC coating
• Hot dip galvanised wire with PVC coating
• Hot dip galvanised, 200 g/m² to 366 g/m² zinc
The zinc figure is the useful way to compare quotes, because two rolls can look identical and carry very different coating weights. A 200 g/m² coating is a normal commercial grade. A 366 g/m² coating is chosen for coastal sites or for a fence that is expected to stay in place without maintenance for a long period. PVC coating over galvanised wire adds colour and a further barrier, and is the usual finish for a court where the fence is visible from the playing area.
Posts and fittings
A chain link fence is supported on round steel posts with line posts, corner posts, gate posts and top rails selected to suit the height. A 2200 mm chain link fence roll on an exposed court needs a heavier post and a top rail than a 1200 mm garden boundary, because the fabric acts as a sail and the post has to carry the wind load without leaning. Tension bands, brace bands, rail ends and turnbuckles are supplied with the roll so that the fabric can be pulled taut along the run.
Where it is used
• Tennis, basketball and multi-use sports courts
• School and recreation ground boundary
• Industrial compound and yard division
• Car park and site perimeter
• Roadside and railway verge separation
Ordering notes
Chain link fence is quoted by roll height, roll length, wire diameter and mesh size, plus the number of posts and the fittings schedule. Because a chain link fence is supplied in fixed roll lengths, the number of posts and the total run should be confirmed together, so that the last bay does not need a short cut section. Special mesh and wire combinations can be produced to order.
