As communities began demanding more aesthetically appealing fence systems, the chain-link industry introduced new colors, styles and designs to enhance the appeal of traditional chain-link while keeping costs reasonable.
Chain-link fence is simply a woven steel wire fence coated with zinc to prevent rust, commonly referred to as galvanized fence. There are two kinds of galvanized chain-link, GBW or GAW: galvanized before weaving (GBW) or galvanized after weaving (GAW). The vast majority on the market today is galvanized after weaving.
