Steel Intermediate Post - to Suit 1.2m Chain Link System

Chain link fencing is widely favoured for its strength, affordability, and versatility. It's commonly used for security, marking boundaries, sports enclosures, and containing animals, offering a strong and unobtrusive alternative to other fencing types. Made from galvanised steel or PVC-coated wire, it provides excellent resistance to weather and ensures long-term performance.

Known also as wire-mesh fencing, wire netting or diamond-mesh fencing, this woven mesh design comes in a variety of heights and requires little maintenance once installed, making it an economical and practical solution.

Introducing the Chain Link Intermediate Post from First Fence
