Wire Fence Galvanization Types

There are different types of protective coatings and finishes on metal steel wire fence. It's important to choose the right product for your application.

Below are some examples of what is available on the market, and why offer only one type to our customers:

Hot Dip Galvanized Before Welding / Weaving - (Better)

• Bare wire is entirely dipped in zinc then spooled. Uses more zinc than electro-galvanization above.
• Spooled wire is then woven (hex mesh, fixed knot) or welded (welded wire mesh, hardware cloth) into wire fence.
• The wire fence roll is then coated again (plain galvanized, class 1, 2 or 3) or PVC coated.
• More expensive than electro galvanization - uses more zinc to galvanize the fence roll but less expensive than hot dip galvanized after welding (below)
• Medium lifespan outdoors - 5-7 years depending on the specific fence and it's use

For the same reasons as above, the disadvantage of this process is the wire joints (knotted or welded) are not galvanized and will rust. This galvanization type is not engineered for fence to soil contact. We don't offer this type of fencing to our customers or suggest they use it. This process is better than electro-galvanization but for our specific application (fence to keep animals in or out) it's not recommended.
