Hot Dip Galvanized After Welding / Weaving - (BEST)

• The start of the process uses bare, uncoated wire spools
• Spooled wire is then woven (hex mesh, fixed knot) or welded (welded wire mesh, hardware cloth) into wire fence.
• The wire fence roll is then entirely dipped in zinc, galvanizing the entire fence roll including the welded or woven joints. Uses much more zinc than the above two processes.
• The wire fence roll then entirely zinc coated again (for plain galvanized rolls - class 1, 2 or 3) or PVC coated
• Most expensive - uses much more zinc to galvanize the fence roll
• Engineered for fence to soil contact - can be overlapped and staked to the ground or buried in the ground
• Engineered for salt spray contact for coastal or marine applications
• Up to 25 years of useful life depending on the specific fence and it's use

The advantage of this process is the the wire joints (knotted or welded) are galvanized and will not rust. This galvanization type is engineered for fence to soil contact.

Hot Dip Galvanized Before Welding / Weaving - (Better)

• Bare wire is entirely dipped in zinc then spooled. Uses more zinc than electro-galvanization above.
• Spooled wire is then woven (hex mesh, fixed knot) or welded (welded wire mesh, hardware cloth) into wire fence.
• The wire fence roll is then coated again (plain galvanized, class 1, 2 or 3) or PVC coated.
• More expensive than electro galvanization - uses more zinc to galvanize the fence roll but less expensive than hot dip galvanized after welding (below)
• Medium lifespan outdoors - 5-7 years depending on the specific fence and it's use

For the same reasons as above, the disadvantage of this process is the wire joints (knotted or welded) are not galvanized and will rust. This galvanization type is not engineered for fence to soil contact. We don't offer this type of fencing to our customers or suggest they use it. This process is better than electro-galvanization but for our specific application (fence to keep animals in or out) it's not recommended.
