Black vinyl coated chain link fence is a type of fencing that is composed of steel links that have been coated in a black vinyl to help protect against the elements. It is often used as an attractive, low-maintenance option for both residential and commercial settings. When compared to a steel fence, it offers better protection against corrosion, UV rays, and weathering; plus its black coloring creates a sleek, modern look. Additionally, this type of fence is less expensive than other types of fences, making it a popular choice for many budgets.
Specification
Black vinyl coated chain link fence is constructed from galvanized steel wire that has been woven into a Diamond Mesh pattern and then covered in a black vinyl coating. The chain link fence typically comes in rolls and panels that can be installed either on the ground or atop a post system, depending on specific needs. The standard specification of the chain link fence includes wire diameter ranging from 0.032" to 0.250", mesh sizes ranging from 1" to 4", and options of both galvanized steel and black vinyl coated materials. The size of the fence will also depend on your specific application. The diameter of the steel wire used in the construction of a black vinyl coated chain link fence varies according to the grade of the product, but it is usually between 11.5-gauge and 9-gauge. The mesh size of the fence can also vary, with 2-inch, 2-1/4-inch, and 2-3/8-inch being the most commonly used sizes.
Materials
Black vinyl coated chain link fence is typically made from galvanized steel. The steel provides the necessary strength and rigidity while the vinyl coating offers a layer of protection against corrosion, as well as improving the fence's appearance. In addition to the steel and the vinyl coating, black vinyl coated chain link fencing may also include tie wires and caps for added security and durability.
Comparison between different with black vinyl coated, powder coated and plastic coated fence:
Black Vinyl Coated Steel Fence: This type of fence is made up of a steel core that is covered in a protective layer of black vinyl. The vinyl helps protect the steel from the elements, making it more durable and long-lasting than other types of fence. The vinyl also gives the fence a sleeker, more attractive look. Installation of this type of fence requires specialized tools and skills, and generally takes longer than other types of fence. Cost wise, black vinyl coated steel fence tends to be more expensive than other types of fence. Manufacturing black vinyl coated steel fence typically occurs within a factory setting, and is completely automated.
Powder Coated Fence: Powder coated fence is made of steel that is treated with a powder coating. This type of coating creates a protective barrier against environmental elements and creates an attractive finish on the surface of the fence. Installation of powder coated fence is relatively simple and it can be done with readily available tools. In terms of cost, powder coated fence tends to be more affordable than other types of fence. Manufacturing of powder coated fence involves spraying the powder coating onto the steel core in a controlled environment.
Plastic Coated Steel Fence: Plastic coated steel fence is made up of steel fencing that is then protected with a layer of plastic. This plastic helps to further protect the steel from the elements, making the fence more durable and weather-proof. Installation of plastic coated steel fence is relatively easy and shouldn't take too much time. Cost wise, plastic coated steel fence tends to be more expensive than other types of fence. Manufacturing of plastic coated steel fence usually occurs within a factory setting and may involve the use of a robotic arm for application of the plastic coating.
Packing and Transportation
Black vinyl-coated chain link fence is typically shipped and sold in rolls of varying widths and lengths made of galvanized steel. The rolls are then covered in a protective vinyl coating, providing a durable, low-maintenance solution for residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The vinyl coating adds additional protection from the elements and protects against rust, corrosion, and fading. The average weight of a 50-foot roll of black vinyl-coated chain link fence is 15 pounds. It is also available in pre-assembled panels for easier installation.
The black vinyl coated chain link fence can be rolled up and secured inside a 20 ft container. For packing, it is recommended to use bubble wrap, shrink wrap and/or other similar materials for extra protection during transportation. It is also important to consider the weight of the fence and use protective dunnage accordingly to prevent shifting or damage during transit.
