Q: What material is the wire made of, and how does it prevent rust?
A: The wire is typically made of quality low-carbon steel (Q195). To prevent rust, it undergoes surface treatments: Galvanized (hot-dip or electro) provides a zinc coating for corrosion resistance, or PVC Coated (green/white) offers an additional layer of plastic protection over galvanized wire for enhanced durability and aesthetics.The wire is typically made of quality low-carbon steel (Q195).

Q: What are the standard specifications for wire diameter and mesh size?
A: Common specifications include mesh sizes from 1 inch to 3 inches (holes from diamond tip to tip). Wire diameters typically range from BWG 11 to 16 (approx. 3.0mm to 1.6mm). For heavier security needs, thicker wire and smaller mesh are recommended.
Q: How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
A: Measure the length and height of the area to be fenced. Our rolls are typically 10m or 20m in length and come in standard heights of 1.0m, 1.5m, 1.8m, and 2.0m. Simply divide your total length by the roll length. We recommend adding 5%-10% extra for overlaps and posts.
Q: Does the price include posts and fittings?
A: Usually, the quoted price is for the mesh only. Posts (line posts, corner posts), tension bars, barbed wire arms, and fittings (clamps, bands) are sold separately. We can provide a complete fencing system quotation if needed. Usually, the quoted price is for the mesh only.

Q:What is the difference between "Selvage" (knuckled vs. twisted)?
A: Knuckled: Both ends are bent back into a loop. It's safer for areas like schools or pools because it has no sharp points.
Twisted: The ends are twisted together to form a point. This is stronger and ideal for security perimeters.
