Chain Wire Fencing
At GT’s Fencing, we're the experts in chainwire fencing. With over 20 years experience in the fencing industry throughout Sydney ... we are a highly experienced installation team, we install alot of it, and we're good at it.
Also known as chain link or chain mesh fencing, we offer permanant and temporary solutions for clients right across the Sydney region (both suburban and rural). This type of fencing style is incredibly versatile and popular, making it a good choice for security most applications from residential properties, construction sites and sports facilities to industrial complexes and commerical properties.
We supply and install all types of chainwire fencing, in a full range of: heights, wire thickness, and coatings. Whether you need a basic boundary fence or a high-security setup, we've got an experienced team ready to design and build a solution tailored to your exact site and requirements - without any shortcuts, just solid, long-lasting chainwire fencing that does the job as intended.
You can be safe in the knowledge that we closely adhere to Australian Standard AS 1725-2010 for chainwire fencing. This ensures that each installation we do meets the highest Australian benchmark standards for strength, safety, and durability. This is especially important when considering this type of fencing for security-sensitive applications and environments.
By aligning with AS 1725-2010, we give our clients confidence that every chain link fence we install is robust and built to last, is highly secure, and will reliably perform when exposed to harsh Australian environmental conditions.
Some of the key elements of this standard include:

At GT's Fencing, we offer a range of chainwire fencing configurations to meet different security needs and site conditions. Each type provides varying degrees of strength, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. One of our design team is able to meet with you on-site and step through the different options available, and recommend the most appropriate option according to your needs. Below is a detailed explaination of some of the different types of chainmesh fencing:
This type of configuration utilises tensioned wire cables in place of horizontal rails. It offers a more cost-effective and flexible solution. It is also the most quick to install, so if time is a factor, this could be a good option. We typically install this type of fencing in temporary fencing scenarios, and also in areas where a less obtrusive fence (due to lack of solid rails) is desired. Using this approach, the mesh is supported by horizontal cables (of the same colour and material as the mesh itself) positioned along the top, middle and bottom. They cables are then attached to the vertical posts at each end.
This style incorporates a horizontal top rail which significantly increases the fence's rigidity and strength. We commonly install these types of fences in residential settings, sporting facilities, and also on commercial properties. The top rail works to prevent sagging of the mesh (it holds it up more effectively), and also provides a cleaner and more finished look overall. The mesh is then fastened to the top rail with a suitable gauge wire, which results in increased durability all round.
For those applications requiring maximum strength and security, we recommend this style of chainmesh fencing. It includes a set of both top and bottom rails. In some instances, depending on the height of the fence, a solid middle rail may also be appropriate and used. The additional bottom rail (and middle rail where applicable) helps to prevent the mesh from being lifted or bent. This feature makes it particularly suitable for high-security areas, schools and playgrounds, as well as sports complexes. With the mesh solidly fixed to the rails both top and bottom, the mesh remains taught and resistant to sagging / deformation over an extended period of time.
For sites requiring enhanced security, we can install barbed wire or razor wire to the top of any of the chainwire fence configurations mentioned above. Both of these additions are strong deterrants and particulary useful for preventing unauthorised access to high-risk areas such as: industrial yards, storage facilities, and areas containing dangerous goods or machinary. Depending on the level of security that your job requires, we can install three strands/rows of barbed wire on angled brackets, or you can also opt for concertina-sytle razor wire for the highest level of security. At GT's Fencing, we'll work closely with you to help you choose the right chainmesh fence topping based on your site's needs. Ultimately, this will help to ensure that your new fence not only meets all of the neccessary functional and compliance standards, but also delivers peace of mind that your property is adequately secured.
When it comes to fence height, the right choice will really depend on how you choose to use the fence. Heights can range from: 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2100mm, 2400mm, 2700mm, 3000mm and all the way up to 3600mm.
We normally see lower heights such as 900mm to 1500mm commonly used in residential settings or as low-risk boundary fences. Lower height fences of course have less visual impact, and one of the reasons why they are typically preferred on these types of jobs.
For higher security or restricted access areas, we recommend fences ranging from 1800mm and above. Taller fences like this help deter climbing and are often combined with barbed or razor wire for additional security and peace of mind.
The thickness of the wire plays a key role in determining the strength, durability and purposed of your new chainlink fencing. For temporary fencing or light-duty conditions, we recommend and typically use a 2.24mm wire. This is normally sufficient for most scenarios like this, as it offers good flexibility, quick and easy installation, and comes at a lower cost.
For more permanant and secure installations, recommend and use 2.50mm as our standard. There is also an option to increase this to 3.25mm and 4.0mm heavy gauge wires for clients who are looking to secure high-impact areas, or those jobsites which require an additional layer of durability and security.
The type of wire coating selected is also an important factor to consider, in terms of durability and appearance. The most common option that we use on most jobs is standard galvernised chainwire. This type of material offers excellent rust resistance and is most ideal for long-term outdoor use in the harsh Australian environment.
For those projects where design aesthetics and additional protection are important, PVC-coated chainware is a popular alternative. It comes available in both black and green, and is applied over galnvernised wire. The same type of material is used for both cables and tie-wire as well. The final result is a fence that looks sleek and uniform while at the same time further enhancing it's corrosiion resistance. We find that black-coated mesh wire is especially popular and preferred by clients for tennis court and basketball court fencing designs.
Rail frame size affects the overall strength and stability of your chainwire fence. At GT's Fencing, we offer chainwire frames in a range of sizes including 25NB, 32NB, 40NB, 50NB, 80NB and 100NB with lengths up to 7.2 metres. The term NB (Nominal Bore) refers to teh internal diameter of the pipe/rail, which directly impacts on its structural integrity and capicity.
Smaller sizes like 25 NB and 32 NB are ones that we typically use for light-duty client fencing jobs, while larger sizes such as 50nb and above are chosen for high-security, high-traffic, or long-span installations. Our expert team will work with you to recommend the most suitable frame size based on your fence height, tension requirements, and environment conditions.
Diamond types, or selvedge finishes as they are otherwise known as, refer to how the ends of teh chainwire mesh are twisted or folded. They play an important role in both safety and security. There are three common options that we regularly use on our jobs:
