What makes our mesh different:
• All vinyl coated mesh has a 15 to 25 mil thick extrusion bonded coating, meeting the standards of ASTM F668 Class 2a. In this process, a heat-set layer of adhesive bonds the vinyl overcoat to the galvanized steel "core" wire. This adhesive itself adds another layer of protection from corrosion and aids in preventing future corrosion due to moisture wicking up between the wire and the coating, as the process keeps the coated wire free of voids. [Wire from most others is not bonded and contains less zinc on its surface.]
• Our vinyl coated mesh is woven from the heaviest core wire in the industry. This makes it the most resistant to deformation.

The environment and the pool area are enhanced by the use of this black vinyl coated chain link fence system. The openness of the system creates the illusion of an uninterrupted extended view.
This chain link fencing meets the state mandated swimming pool code by the use of 1-1/4 inch mesh. |
| The use of tension spring cable in place of top rails on chain link fence requires the reinforcement of a brace system at ends and corners. |
 |
 |
Transform your yard into a safe, enjoyable retreat with black vinyl-coated chain link fence designed to create the look and feel of undefined space. |
