Cattle fence mesh usually undergoes several surface - treatment processes to enhance its performance and durability.
Galvanizing
Galvanizing is a commonly - used surface treatment method. The cattle fence mesh is immersed in a molten zinc bath. Through this process, a layer of zinc is coated on the surface of the wire. This zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance. It acts as a sacrificial anode, which means that when the fence is exposed to moisture or corrosive substances, the zinc will corrode first instead of the underlying steel wire, thereby protecting the integrity of the fence structure.
PVC Coating
Another surface treatment option is PVC coating. In this process, a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is applied to the cattle fence mesh. The PVC coating not only provides good corrosion resistance but also gives the fence a more colorful and attractive appearance. It can come in various colors such as green, black, or white, allowing the fence to blend better with the surrounding environment or meet specific aesthetic requirements. The PVC - coated cattle fence mesh is also more flexible than the non - coated one, which can reduce the risk of damage caused by impact or bending.
Materials
Generally, hot-dip galvanized wire or low-carbon steel wire are used, with zinc coating ranging from 60 grams to 230 grams per square meter. In damp areas or where higher requirements are needed, wires with approximately 230 grams of zinc coating are used.
Net height
Common heights range from 0.5 meters to 2.5 meters, such as 1 meter, 1.2 meters, 1.5 meters, 1.8 meters, 2 meters, etc., and can also be customized according to customer requirements.
Web length
Typically, each roll of netting is 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters long, ranging from 10 meters to 200 meters, and can also be customized.
Thread diameter
The horizontal wire has a tensile strength of 80kg-90kg, the vertical wire has a tensile strength of 40kg-50kg, and the wire diameter is generally around 1.8 millimeters-2.5 millimeters.
Mesh
Common sizes include 89mm×150mm, 102mm×150mm, 114mm×150mm, 127mm×150mm, etc., as well as 15cm×10cm with uniform holes, and can also be customized into a form with sparse upper and dense lower parts.
Pillar
The corner columns and doorposts are made of 9 cm × 9 cm × 9 mm × 220 cm hot-rolled equal angle iron, the small columns use 4 cm × 4 cm × 4 mm × 190 cm equal angle iron, the reinforcement columns are made of 7 cm × 7 cm × 7 mm × 220 cm hot-rolled equal angle iron, and the ground anchor iron reinforcement piles use 4 cm × 4 cm × 4 mm × 40 cm × 60 hot-rolled equal angle iron.
Surface Treatment of Cattle Fence Products
Cattle fences are usually subjected to several surface treatment processes to improve their performance and durability.
Galvanizing
Galvanizing is a commonly used surface treatment method. The cattle fence is dipped into a bath of molten zinc. Through this process, a layer of zinc is coated on the surface of the wires. This zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance. It acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning that when the fence comes into contact with moisture or corrosive substances, the zinc corrodes first, rather than the steel wires underneath, thus protecting the integrity of the fence structure.
PVC Coating
Another surface treatment option is PVC coating. In this process, a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is applied to the cattle fence. PVC coating not only provides good corrosion resistance, but also gives the fence a more colorful and attractive appearance. It can come in a variety of colors, such as green, black or white, allowing the fence to blend better with the surrounding environment or meet specific aesthetic requirements. Cattle fences with PVC coating are also more flexible than uncoated mesh, which can reduce the risk of damage caused by impact or bending.
