Compare like-for-like wire descriptions
For PVC-coated chain-link specifications, keep two wire measurements visible. A larger finished diameter may reflect more covering rather than a larger steel core. Use separate fields for steel-core diameter and finished diameter. Identify the underlying wire treatment and any specified coating requirements. This prevents a core-wire quotation being compared directly with a finished-wire figure.
State the mesh opening on a defined basis. The polymer covering occupies part of the opening, so an application requiring a particular clear gap needs that finished dimension to be considered.
Agree the colour across the whole fence
Fabric, posts, gates and fittings may follow different finishing routes. Use a stated colour reference and identify which components need to match. If appearance is important, agree what a sample is intended to demonstrate before approving it.
A colour sample is not evidence of coating thickness, adhesion or weathering performance. Any required test evidence must relate to the proposed material.
Protect the coating during handling
Keep rolls identified and protected from avoidable scraping during transport and unloading. Check cut ends and edge details as well as the broad face of the fabric. Record damaged areas before installation obscures their origin.
The attachment detail should suit the finished wire size. Review ties, tensioning components and contact points rather than assuming fittings from an uncoated installation are interchangeable.
Retain the full coated-wire specification for repeat factory orders
Retain the core size, finished size, mesh definition, colour, edge form and roll dimensions with the order reference. This is more reliable than reordering “green chain link” from a photograph.
Where colour is not required, galvanised chain link offers a different finish route. Keep the underlying wire and fence arrangement aligned when comparing the two.
Custom order specification: pvc-coated chain link fencing
| Order detail | What to define with our team |
|---|---|
| Core and coating | State core diameter, underlying treatment, finished diameter and coating requirements. |
| Roll and mesh | Provide finished opening convention, height, contained length and top and bottom edges. |
| Colour and components | Identify the colour reference and the posts, ties or fittings that must be coordinated. |
Approve the measurement basis and any appearance sample before batch supply. Colour approval does not establish adhesion or weathering performance; specify any required tests separately. Keep the accepted roll reference with packing and reorder records.
Can the PVC-coated fabric colour match supplied posts and gates?
Send the colour reference and identify all components to match. Their finishing routes may differ, so any appearance requirement needs agreed samples and acceptance conditions.
