A Chainlink fence, also known as a wire-mesh fence, is a type of fencing made up of woven interlocking wire. The diamond-shaped mesh of the fence makes it difficult for anyone to climb and pass through, while also allowing easy visibility through the fence. Chainlink fences are commonly used to enclose residential and commercial properties, industrial buildings, and sports facilities. Other synonyms for chainlink fence include wire-netting, cyclone fence, hurricane fence, diamond-mesh fence, and wire-mesh fence. These terms are mostly used interchangeably, and all refer to the same type of fencing structure made from interlinked wires.
