The longevity of a welded wire fence can vary depending on the materials used. So, how long can you expect a welded wire fence to last?

Galvanized Material

Welded wire fences made from galvanized materials come in two types: electro-galvanized and hot-dipped galvanized. The wire used in the electro-galvanized fence is redrawn steel that has undergone electroplating. Due to multiple drawing processes, the zinc content on the wire's surface is low. Additionally, the welding points are often not treated for corrosion resistance. Thus, the lifespan of electro-galvanized wire is relatively short, typically around one year when exposed to outdoor conditions. In contrast, hot-dipped galvanized material can last about five years prior to welding.

There are also fences that are galvanized after welding. The galvanization in this process protects the welding points better against corrosion. Generally, an electro-galvanized fence in this category lasts about two years, while a hot-dipped galvanized fence can last over ten years.

PVC Coated Options

In addition to galvanized materials, many welded wire fences feature a PVC surface treatment. The PVC-coated welded wire mesh is produced using black wire that is woven together and then coated with an impregnated plastic for enhanced corrosion resistance. This type of fencing typically has a lifespan of eight to ten years.

Because the costs of anti-corrosion processes vary, the price of a PVC wire mesh fence tends to be higher than that of a standard galvanized wire mesh fence. We offer a wide variety of welded wire mesh fences to meet your needs and are always ready for your inquiries.

The Basics of a Longer Lasting Vinyl-Coated Fencing

When you are looking for a durable fencing option, consider vinyl-coated welded wire mesh fencing. In this section, we will cover essential information to help you choose the right vinyl-coated fence.

Choosing vinyl-coated fencing ensures a long lifespan. There are numerous options available.

Tightly Bonded

Vinyl-coated wire mesh fencing is among the longest-lasting options available. After the mesh is welded or woven, it undergoes a coating process where the PVC is tightly bonded to the wire using heat. This ensures complete coverage, particularly in areas where rust is most likely to develop, such as the welded or woven spots.

Impervious Protection

The vinyl coating is impervious to moisture and corrosives, providing thorough protection against rust and corrosion. Standard colors include black and green, with additional colors available upon special request.
