How to choose chain link fencing for aquaculture

Chain link fencing is widely used in animal husbandry due to its excellent protective effect. However, there are two types: galvanized and PVC-coated. Which one should you choose?

If you are raising small poultry, PVC-coated chain link fencing is a good choice. The outer plastic layer is not easily corroded by poultry droppings, and stains are easy to clean. This results in a much longer lifespan compared to galvanized chain link fencing. The downside is that outdoor use, exposed to wind and sun, can cause the plastic to age quickly, making it less effective than indoor use.

1. If you are raising large livestock, galvanized chain link fencing is a better choice. Galvanized chain link fencing has a larger wire diameter than PVC-coated chain link fencing, and the impact of large livestock on the mesh is significant, requiring a larger wire diameter to withstand it.

2. If you are concerned about corrosion from animal droppings, hot-dip galvanized chain link fencing is a better option, as it offers stronger corrosion resistance than cold-dip galvanized chain link fencing. Understanding the properties of these two types of chain link fencing will help you make a better choice. When shipping chain link fencing, manufacturers typically choose to shrink or roll up the product, sometimes without bending the edges as required. In this case, some wires may come loose upon arrival, requiring re-threading. How to tighten the chain link fencing during use also requires some skill. Let's explain the usage process in detail.

Step 1: Select any convenient point along the free-flowing boundary line of the chain link fencing. Apply a coating to the tool handle and place the free-flowing wire in the slot at the bottom.

Step 2: Tightly stretch the wire as much as possible, forming a loop in the wire. Secure this position with the tool attached to the handle.

Step 3: Place a short length of spare wire across the tool face. The chain link fencing is allowed 7" to 10" on either side. (Any strong chain link fence wires will be repaired during operation.) Near the extended fence wire of the chain link fence,

Step 4: Secure the spare wire, ensuring at least two full loops on each side.

Step 5: Insert the chain link fence pliers handle (or any tool) into the loop. Wrap the loops near the spare wire.

Step 6: Continue wrapping the chain link fence until the loops are completely closed near the spare wire.
