A chain link making machine weaves metal wire into diamond-shaped fence mesh. The machine bends wire into spiral sections and interlocks them to form continuous mesh. Unlike a wire mesh welding machine, it creates mesh through wire interlocking rather than welding.
Manufacturers use chain link fence mesh for residential boundaries, sports courts, farms, factories, and construction sites. Different projects require different mesh openings, wire diameters, and fence dimensions. Galvanized wire and PVC-coated wire serve as common raw materials. The finished mesh forms a flexible fence fabric that installers attach to posts and supporting frames.
YG Machinery offers two chain link machine models. Their specifications cover wire diameters from 1.6 to 4 mm and mesh openings from 20 to 100 mm.

How the Machine Weaves Fence Mesh
The equipment forms wire into spiral sections and interlocks them to create diamond-shaped openings. This process produces continuous chain link fabric.
Wire feeding: The machine directs metal wire into the forming mechanism. The wire diameter must fall within the specified processing range.
Spiral forming: The forming mechanism bends wire into a spiral shape. Each spiral creates part of the diamond mesh pattern.
Wire interlocking: The machine joins adjacent spirals through interlocking. Their repeated connections create a continuous mesh sheet.
Mesh finishing: The production process forms mesh to the required width, length, and edge style. The YG-20-100 specifications list a 30 m mesh length, adjustable according to order requirements.
Wire diameter and mesh size determine the mesh pattern. Edge treatment defines the finished fabric’s border.
Chain Link Fence Mesh Structure and Materials
Chain link mesh has a diamond pattern. Each wire section connects with adjacent sections through interlocking rather than welded joints. This structure allows the mesh to bend along a fence layout.
Wire Diameter and Mesh Opening
Wire diameter describes the thickness of the metal wire. Mesh size describes the opening between interlocked wires. These dimensions define the finished mesh pattern.
A chain link fence machine needs a suitable processing range for the target product. The two YG models cover different combinations of wire diameters and mesh openings, as shown in the parameter table.
Galvanized Wire and PVC-Coated Wire
Galvanized wire carries a zinc coating on its surface. PVC-coated wire has a plastic layer over the metal core. These materials give chain link mesh different surface finishes.
PVC coating increases the overall wire diameter. Manufacturers need to account for the coated wire’s outside diameter when selecting a mesh specification.
Knuckled and Twisted Mesh Edges
Chain link fence mesh uses different edge-finishing styles. A knuckled edge bends the wire end into a loop. A twisted edge turns the wire end around itself. Some products combine these styles at different edges.
The edge style affects the finished mesh appearance and how installers handle the fabric during fence assembly.
Chain Link Fence Machine Applications
- Residential fencing: Mesh encloses gardens, yards, and property boundaries.
- Industrial fencing: Factories and warehouses use chain link mesh around grounds, storage areas, and work zones.
- Construction barriers: Contractors use chain link fencing to separate construction areas from surrounding spaces.
- Sports courts: Fencing separates basketball courts, tennis courts, and playgrounds from nearby areas.
- Farm enclosures: Mesh marks boundaries around fields, pastures, and livestock areas.
Chain Link Machine vs. Wire Mesh Welding Machine
A chain link machine interlocks wire to form diamond-shaped mesh. A wire mesh welding machine joins crossing wires through welding and produces welded panels.
The two machines make different products. Chain link equipment produces flexible, interwoven fence fabric. Welding equipment produces mesh with fixed welded intersections, often in square or rectangular patterns.
Manufacturers select the production method according to the required mesh structure and fence design.

FAQ
What does a Chain Link Making Machine produce?
A Chain Link Making Machine produces diamond-pattern fence mesh by bending and interlocking metal wire. The finished mesh is used for garden fences, sports courts, farms, factories, and construction sites.
What materials can a Chain Link Making Machine process?
The machine processes metal wire used for chain link fencing, including galvanized wire and PVC-coated wire. Wire diameter and coating type affect the required machine configuration.
Can a Chain Link Making Machine produce different mesh sizes?
Yes. The machine can produce chain link mesh with different openings and widths within its specified working range. The required mesh dimensions determine the applicable machine settings and configuration.
What is the difference between a Chain Link Making Machine and a Wire Mesh Welding Machine?
A Chain Link Making Machine forms mesh by bending and interlocking wire into diamond-shaped openings. A Wire Mesh Welding Machine joins intersecting wires through welding to create a rigid mesh structure. The two machines serve different fencing and mesh production requirements.
