1.What is a double wire fence?
A double wire fence is a welded mesh panel made from two horizontal steel wires that run parallel at the top and bottom of the panel, giving it a distinctive "double wire" structure. This design provides enhanced strength and rigidity compared to standard single-wire welded mesh panels.
2.What are the standard wire diameters and mesh sizes?
The horizontal wires (top and bottom) typically range from 3.0mm to 6.0mm. Vertical wires (pickets) range from 3.0mm to 5.0mm. Common mesh openings are 50x200mm, 50x100mm, and 75x150mm. Standard panel heights range from 0.6m to 2.4m.
3.What materials and coatings are available?
Double wire panels are manufactured from low-carbon steel wire and are available with hot-dipped galvanized coating, polyester powder coating, or PVC coating. Standard colors include green, black, white, grey, and custom RAL colors. A typical coating system includes a zinc layer of 60-80g/m² plus a powder coating of 60-80μm.
4.What applications is double wire fencing used for?
It is commonly used for school and playground perimeters, sports fields, industrial and commercial sites, public parks, residential boundaries, and animal enclosures. The rigid structure provides a clean, modern appearance with high impact resistance.
5.How does double wire fencing differ from standard welded mesh fencing?
The double top and bottom horizontal wires provide significantly higher strength and rigidity compared to single-wire panels. Double wire fencing is more resistant to impact and deformation, making it suitable for high-traffic areas where security and durability are priorities. It is also considered more aesthetically pleasing for public and commercial applications.
