Orchard Fencing Chain Link Mesh

Orchard fencing chain link mesh is a specialized guard net used in orchards, offering excellent protective performance and various advantages. Below are the detailed specifications:

Material

·Low-carbon steel wire: Lower cost with adequate strength. Surface treatments like galvanizing or plastic coating can enhance corrosion resistance and extend service life.

·Stainless steel wire: Such as 304 or 316 stainless steel wire, offering excellent salt spray and corrosion resistance, suitable for orchards in coastal or humid environments, though at a higher cost.

·Aluminum alloy wire: Lightweight with good corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance. However, it is relatively more expensive and less commonly used than low-carbon steel wire.

Specifications

·Mesh size: Diamond-shaped, typically ranging from 4 to 12 cm. Common sizes include 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm. Smaller mesh sizes effectively prevent small animals from entering the orchard.

·Wire diameter: Generally between 1.8 and 6 mm. Thicker wires provide higher strength. The appropriate wire diameter can be selected based on the orchard's specific needs and the objects to be protected.

·Width and length: Widths exceed 30 cm, while lengths are determined by usage requirements and practical conditions, often customizable. Common widths include 1 m, 1.2 m, 1.5 m, 1.8 m, and 2 m, with lengths adjustable as needed.

Features

·Strong impact resistance: The chain link mesh is interwoven rather than welded, providing excellent stretch and elasticity. It absorbs impact through deformation, reducing the risk of breakage or distortion, effectively resisting animal collisions or human damage.

·Excellent corrosion resistance: Based on galvanized steel wire, further treated with plastic coating processes (such as PVC or PE coating), it offers dual protection. It can withstand acidic and alkaline erosion for over 10 years without rusting, ensuring a long service life.

·Aesthetically pleasing: Simple structure, uniform mesh, and a smooth surface with vibrant colors. Plastic-coated chain link mesh comes in various colors like dark green and grass green, blending well with the orchard environment and providing decorative appeal.

·Transparent and unobstructive: The uniform diamond-shaped mesh ensures structural stability while allowing good light transmission and ventilation. It does not hinder sunlight or air circulation in the orchard, promoting fruit tree growth and facilitating observation of the orchard.

·Flexible installation: The mesh can be easily cut to fit complex terrains like slopes and corners. Installation is simple and convenient, requiring no complex tools. It is typically used with posts, where the mesh is hung and fixed onto the posts, resulting in a short construction period.

Surface Treatment Methods

·Electro-galvanizing: A layer of zinc is electroplated onto the steel wire surface. This method is cost-effective but offers relatively weaker corrosion resistance, suitable for orchards in favorable environments with lower anti-corrosion requirements.

·Hot-dip galvanizing: The zinc layer is thicker than electro-galvanizing, providing stronger corrosion resistance and effectively preventing rust. Suitable for orchards in various harsh environments, it ensures a longer service life.

·Plastic coating: PVC or PE plastic is coated onto the outer layer of the steel wire, enhancing not only corrosion resistance but also flexibility and aesthetics. Available in various colors like dark green and grass green, it is commonly used for orchard fencing.
