Overview

Selecting the right perimeter fencing for an industrial park, school, sports complex or residential community involves more than choosing a wire gauge. Two systems that frequently appear in the same shortlist—especially for European projects—are the welded double wire mesh fence and the powder coated chain link fence. Both are manufactured by Anping County Shengxin Metal Products Co., Ltd, and both share a galvanised steel base. Their geometry, coating options and installation hardware diverge in ways that matter at the procurement stage.

This comparison draws on confirmed product specification data only. Buyers should verify exact dimensions, coating weights, available stock and export documentation directly with Anping County Shengxin Metal Products Co., Ltd before placing orders. Full details for the Germany-market welded panel system are available on the Powder Coated Double Wire Mesh Fence product page.

1. Mesh Geometry and Wire Configuration

The two systems use fundamentally different construction geometries, which affects rigidity, climb resistance and the character of sightlines through the fence.

Welded Double Wire Panel System

This fence takes its name from its construction: heavier outer wires and a thinner inner wire are welded together in horizontal pairs that sandwich each vertical member. Two wire configurations are confirmed:

Panels are rigid, with a standard length of 2.5 m and heights available in six steps: 1.03 m, 1.23 m, 1.43 m, 1.63 m, 1.83 m and 2.03 m. The flat welded surface offers minimal footholds and resists cutting without heavy power tools.

Chain Link System

Chain link uses a single wire formed into interlocking diamond spirals. The confirmed wire diameter range is 2.8 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.2 mm, 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm, with mesh opening sizes of 50 × 50 mm, 60 × 60 mm and 75 × 75 mm. Heights span 1.2 m, 1.5 m, 1.8 m, 2.0 m and 2.4 m; rolls are supplied at 9–18 m depending on roll weight.

The diamond geometry maintains open sightlines across large areas, but the larger mesh openings and grippable diamond pattern provide lower climb resistance compared with a welded panel.

2. Surface Treatment and Coating Options

Both products use a galvanised steel base; they differ in the outer coating applied and the colour options confirmed in available data.

Double Wire Mesh Fence Coatings

The Germany-market product is listed with high-grade powder coating over a galvanised base. The related gate accessory within the same product family specifies the process sequence as: welding → galvanised / hot-dipped → PVC / powder coated, and confirms Dark Green RAL 6005 as a colour option. Zinc coating weights for the panel range are not specified in the available product data; buyers should request this detail directly.

Chain Link Fence Coatings

The chain link product provides a more detailed coating breakdown:

Available colours for the chain link PVC option are Dark Green and Black. The product data notes that electric galvanised chain link is seldom recommended for direct outdoor use owing to its lower zinc deposit.

3. Post Specifications and Installation Hardware

Post choice determines footing requirements, panel attachment method and overall system rigidity.

Posts for the Welded Panel System

Three post profiles are confirmed:

Square posts

• 40 × 60 mm section, wall 1.2 / 1.5 / 2.0 mm — heights 2.0 m or 2.2 m
• 60 × 60 mm section, wall 1.2 / 1.5 / 2.0 mm — heights 2.4 m or 2.0 m

Round posts

• 48 mm diameter × 1.5 mm wall, 2.0 m height
• 48 mm diameter × 2.0 mm wall, 2.2 m height
• 60 mm diameter × 1.5 mm wall, 2.4 m height
• 60 mm diameter × 2.0 mm wall, 2.5 m height

Peach (Y-profile) posts

• 70 × 100 × 1.0 mm, 2.5 m height
• 70 × 100 × 1.2 mm, 2.5 m height

Panels are attached using a continuous heavyweight clamp bar system. This leaves no purchase point for leverage and uses no removable fixings, making it difficult for intruders to prise off panels.

Posts and Rails for Chain Link

Chain link installations use separate line posts, top rails and tension components. Confirmed specifications:

Line posts: 75 × 1.5/2.0 mm; 60 × 1.5/2.0 mm; 48 × 1.5/2.0 mm (round sections)

Top rails: 48 × 1.2/1.5 mm; 40 × 1.2/1.5 mm; 32 × 1.2/1.5 mm

Fabric is stretched between posts and secured to rails and tension bars. Because the mesh arrives in rolls, installation can cover long or irregular perimeters without frequent panel joints.

4. Application Suitability

The confirmed product descriptions suggest the following guidance for matching system to site:

Welded panel system is used for industrial land, sports fields, playgrounds, schools, nurseries, parks and residential communities. Its flat panel profile and compatibility with climbing plants suit European urban environments, including the Germany market.

Chain link system is used for baseball fields, race tracks, playgrounds, farms, grassland, factory road enclosures, power stations, parks, zoos, airports and highway fencing. Its roll format suits large or irregularly shaped perimeters.

5. Summary Table

Choosing Between the Two Systems

For procurement teams evaluating perimeter security for a Germany-market or broader European project, the welded panel system offers a rigid profile and a tamper-resistant attachment method that suit structured urban sites. Where a project needs to enclose a large or irregular area efficiently, or where a lighter wire gauge is acceptable, the chain link roll format can cover longer continuous runs with fewer joints.

Zinc coating weights, RAL colour options and export documentation should always be confirmed with Anping County Shengxin Metal Products Co., Ltd. Further specification detail is available on the Powder Coated Double Wire Mesh Fence product page.
