Stainless Steel Chain Link Mesh Products, Specifications and Applications
XTZ Fence manufactures stainless steel chain link mesh, supplied as diamond woven rolls, cut panels or framed panels with custom wire diameter and mesh opening, for perimeter, boundary and temporary fencing projects.
Stainless Steel Chain Link Mesh and Diamond Mesh
Stainless steel chain link mesh, also known as stainless steel diamond mesh or chain link netting, is woven from continuous wire into a diamond shaped opening and supplied on rolls or as cut panels. The diamond structure gives a high open area with a low wind load, and the wire is continuous through the weave, so the mesh carries tension along its whole height rather than at isolated points. XTZ Fence supplies the mesh as material, in rolls, cut panels or framed panels; the complete fence system with posts and fixings is covered on our stainless steel chain link fence page. Where the requirement is a rigid framed boundary rather than a tensioned woven run, our stainless steel welded wire mesh covers the welded grid form.
Product Structure and Materials
Weave Structure, Wire Diameter and Mesh Opening
The diamond opening and the wire diameter are the two numbers that define a chain link mesh order, and they are set against each other. A larger opening lets more light and air through and reduces wind load, while a heavier wire resists cutting and pushing. Both are confirmed against the project drawing and the level of security the boundary has to provide. The mesh can be supplied with a selvage edge or with a framed edge, and the roll width and length are produced to specification.
- Weave structure: Diamond woven, continuous wire
- Wire diameter: Custom Specifications, confirmed per project
- Mesh opening: Diamond opening selected per application
- Mesh count: Derived from the wire diameter and opening
- Mesh width: Available to specification
- Mesh length: Available to specification
- Edge treatment: Selvage edge or framed edge
- Supply form: Rolls, cut panels or framed panels
Chain Link Mesh Roll
Chain link mesh wound on a roll, ready to be cut and tensioned on site. The wire is continuous through the weave, so a cut length behaves as a woven fabric rather than a rigid grid.
Chain Link Weaving in Production
The wire being woven into the diamond pattern. Chain link is produced on a weaving line, which is why the mesh is supplied as a continuous fabric rather than as a welded grid.
Woven Wire Mesh Roll

Applications and Selection
Applications for Chain Link Mesh
Chain link mesh is used for boundary and perimeter fencing where a see-through barrier is needed and the ground is long or irregular, because the fabric follows the line rather than requiring a rigid panel. Commercial and industrial site boundaries, infrastructure and utility perimeters, residential boundaries and temporary works all use the same mesh in different sizes. Where the boundary has to be a rigid, climb-resistant panel instead, our stainless steel security fence is the relevant product.
Chain Link Mesh Fence Installation
Chain link mesh tensioned between posts on a boundary. The mesh is tensioned at the top and bottom rails and secured along the line, which is what allows it to follow uneven ground over a long run.
Framed Chain Link Panels
Chain link mesh framed into panels, so the mesh arrives on site as rigid modules that can be bolted between posts rather than tensioned on site. Framing suits shorter runs, gate adjacent areas and any position where the mesh cannot be tensioned.
Selecting Wire Diameter and Mesh Opening
As a general rule the wire diameter is increased where the boundary has to resist cutting or pushing, and the opening is increased where wind load or transparency is the driver. The combination is confirmed with the drawings together with the grade, the edge detail and the supply form. Send the drawings, the target opening and wire diameter, the quantity and the destination to receive a project-specific quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is stainless steel chain link mesh?
A: Stainless steel chain link mesh, also known as diamond mesh or chain link netting, is woven from continuous wire into a diamond shaped opening. It is supplied on rolls or as cut panels, and because the wire is continuous through the weave, the mesh carries tension along its whole height rather than at isolated points.
Q: How do wire diameter and mesh opening affect the fence?
A: The two are chosen against each other. A larger opening lets more light and air through and reduces the wind load, while a heavier wire resists cutting and pushing. Both are confirmed against the project drawing and the level of security the boundary has to provide.
Q: Should I choose a selvage edge or a framed edge?
A: A selvage edge is the standard finish for mesh that is tensioned on site. A framed edge turns the mesh into a rigid panel that can be bolted between posts, which suits shorter runs, gate-adjacent areas and any position where the mesh cannot be tensioned.
Q: What is the difference between chain link mesh and welded wire mesh?
A: Chain link mesh is woven from continuous wire into a diamond cell and is flexible, so it takes tension and follows uneven ground. Welded wire mesh has a rigid welded intersection and holds its geometry when cut, bent or formed, which suits guarding, screening and fabricated parts.
Q: Can chain link mesh be supplied in rolls or in panels?
A: Both. The mesh is supplied on rolls for tensioned installation, as cut panels, or framed into rigid panels for bolted installation, and the supply form is confirmed with the drawings.
