Build Your Chain Link Fencing System

Chain link fencing is a popular and cost-effective fencing option made from galvanised steel wire, woven into a diamond mesh pattern.  It is used in many settings and is ideal for boundary marking and containment in residential, commercial and industrial areas. Our chain link fences are available with a galvanised or a PVC-coated finish and in many heights providing a balance of strength, visibility and affordability.

Available with steel angle posts, this fencing system ensures stability and strength for long-term use.

First Fence has a full range of products for your brand new chain link fence system including chain link fencing rolls, posts and accessories.  To make things simple, use our calculators to work out how much to order.  Add your meterage to the calculator and it will let you know how many rolls you need for your project, then add the posts that you need.

For the steel post option, choose from end strainer posts, intermediate posts, two-way strainer posts and corner strainer posts.  

Diamond fencing is an incredibly versatile solution suited to a wide range of environments. It is commonly used for residential garden boundaries, keeping children and pets secure while maintaining visibility. In commercial settings, it provides a reliable perimeter barrier for car parks, storage areas, and business premises. Industrial users often rely on chain link fencing to safeguard machinery yards, depots, and construction sites. It’s also a popular choice for enclosing sports facilities such as tennis courts and football pitches, offering clear sightlines and robust containment. In agriculture, chain link fences are used to create secure animal enclosures and to mark field boundaries.

Installation Advice

Support & Stability: Secure the fence with straining wires and tensioners to maintain its structure and prevent sagging.  We recommend using hog ring clips and gun to attach the chain link to the wires and these should be spaced at 300mm intervals.
Spacing & Fixing: Install posts at regular intervals (typically 3.0m apart) and fix the mesh using hog rings or tie wires.
Ground Fixing: For added stability, set posts in post mix concrete and ensure proper alignment before tightening the mesh.

Whether you're securing a private property, enclosing a sports area, or protecting livestock, chain link fencing provides a strong, long-lasting, and practical solution for various applications.
