When it comes to choosing a fence for your property, selecting the right one for your needs can be a daunting task. There are so many options available that it may seem difficult to choose the proper style. Perhaps you want to protect your beloved pet. Maybe you&#;ve invested sweat and tears in the perfect vegetable garden. Or, a flock of chickens may be a second source of income for your family. Whatever your need, your priority is likely safety or security. With so many choices, understanding the benefits of welded wire may help you make your decision much easier. It&#;s referred to by several names like utility fence, general-purpose fencing, welded wire, or mesh. The bottom line is that this fence style provides a solution for many applications around your home or property. Welded Wire fence is actually made by spot-welding the intersections of the horizontal and vertical wires. The mesh pattern creates a spacing that is typically between 1/2&#; and 4&#; apart. The construction creates a rigid enclosure for a firm barrier. Because the welds prevent movement, this fence style is best used on level ground or short runs. It&#;s an affordable solution suitable for animal cages and dog runs. It will keep unwanted animals out of gardens and flowerbeds. And galvanized to resist weathering, it holds up to wear and tear.
Welded or Woven Wire? Each Brings its Own Merits
When it comes to the subject of &#;welded versus woven wire&#; fences, it may be more helpful to consider it more of a comparison, as both certainly have various merits in their favor. The intersections of these wires are spot-welded to create a sheet. However, woven fences are created through a process that is quite different and much more complicated. Using machinery, wire is loosely twisted into a gentle spiral, with each overlapping at the ends. With a quick twist, the link is made permanent and the distinctive zigzag diamond shape is formed.
Starting with Welded Wire Fences:
Example #1 Welded Wire Fence (Attached to Wooden Fence) - Straight lines are strong and sturdy
Example #2 Welded Wire Fence (Attached to Wooden Posts) - Straight lines are strong and sturdy
Welded wire fencing, which has a structure that is solid and inflexible, is ideal for a firm and definite barrier. When cut, the wires will not begin to unravel from one another. The disadvantages of this fencing type can be seen in situations when pressure is introduced, such as livestock in need of a leaning post or any sort of vehicular crash. If weight is applied, it&#;s difficult for a welded wire fence to spring back to shape. It will likely deform permanently and need replacing.
Now onto Woven Wire
Example #3 Vinyl Coated Woven Wire Fence - Distinctive zigzag diamond shape
See how example #3 is woven? The fence "lines" are straight in examples #1 and #2 and there is a little zigzag in example #3.
Structure and Functional Merits - Woven wire has some give
By understanding their basic structures, it is easy to see their functional merits. A woven wire fence's linked yet loose structure allows for a large amount of bend, twist and pull
without breaking
-- a perfect design if you have grazing livestock to contain. In some styles of woven agricultural fence, the vertical wires are one continuous strand. This makes a very strong and secure mesh that will hold together well when under pressure.

Woven wire products used as fences can vary between 9 gauge and 23 gauge
Mesh sizes can run from ½" to 8"
Wire finishes of woven meshes are similar to those that are welded: galvanized before weld (GBW), galvanized after weld (GAW), or vinyl coated (VC)
Fences that are woven are more flexible than welded products
Mesh openings are generally uniform and consistent in shape and size throughout the roll
Woven meshes are easier to install over uneven ground and can be "racked" to conform to the ups and downs
- Many of the fences used to enclose or exclude livestock are woven construction:
deer, horses, poultry, and game birds
Note: There is an unfortunate disadvantage to &#;chain-link&#; fence, another type of woven mesh. This fencing is only fully effective so long as every link remains strong. Once cut, it&#;s only a matter of time before this form of fence will become untangled and inefficient.
