This 4-foot high PVC-coated wire fencing is manufactured for direct factory supply, combining galvanized steel core with a UV-stabilized green polyvinyl chloride extrusion. The coating thickness averages 0.5 mm, providing a barrier against moisture and chemical exposure while maintaining flexibility for installation on uneven terrain. Factory direct sourcing eliminates intermediate handling, reducing lead time and ensuring consistent batch-to-batch material properties.

The fence uses a woven mesh pattern with 2-inch by 4-inch openings, constructed from 12.5-gauge steel wire (approximately 2.05 mm diameter) before coating. After PVC application, the finished wire diameter measures approximately 3.05 mm, balancing tensile strength with ease of handling during unrolling and stretching. The green color (RAL 6005) is formulated with carbon-black-free pigments to minimize heat absorption and fading under prolonged solar exposure.

Each roll is typically 50 feet in length and weighs approximately 35 pounds, designed for single-person handling with standard fence stretching tools. The product is intended for agricultural boundaries, livestock enclosures, and temporary site security where corrosion resistance and visual discretion are priorities.

The steel core undergoes hot-dip galvanizing to a minimum zinc coating weight of 200 g/m² (both sides) prior to PVC application, meeting ASTM A641 Class 1 standards. This base layer provides sacrificial protection against corrosion at cut ends or minor coating abrasions. The PVC extrusion is applied via a controlled hot-melt process, ensuring uniform adhesion and preventing delamination under thermal cycling.

The PVC compound includes titanium dioxide for UV stability and calcium-zinc stabilizers to replace lead-based additives, complying with RoHS restrictions. Heat aging tests show less than 10% reduction in elongation at break after 1,000 hours at 70°C, indicating suitable lifespan for outdoor use in temperate climates. The coating exhibits a Shore A hardness of 85±5, resisting puncture from vegetation contact while remaining flexible enough to withstand wind-induced vibration.

Color retention is evaluated using Delta E measurements under QUV accelerated weathering; typical values remain below 5 units after 1,500 hours, corresponding to minimal perceptible fading to the human eye. This level of stability supports multi-season deployment without requiring repainting or visual maintenance.

The fence is designed to withstand a horizontal wind load of 20 psf (pounds per square foot) when properly installed with line posts spaced at 8-foot intervals and secured with 9-gauge galvanized ties. Tensile strength of the coated wire averages 85,000 psi, with a yield point near 65,000 psi, allowing elastic recovery from temporary deformations caused by animal impact or fallen branches.

Elongation at break measures approximately 18% for the finished product, providing ductility to absorb energy without brittle failure. The mesh opening size prevents passage of animals larger than small rodents while allowing adequate airflow and visibility. Bottom tension wires are recommended when used for livestock containment to prevent nosing under the fence line.

Installation requires standard tools: fence stretcher, staples or hog rings, and line posts (wood, steel, or composite). The PVC coating reduces abrasion on handling equipment and minimizes corrosion transfer to galvanized fasteners. Rolls are labeled with batch numbers and production dates for traceability in quality claims.

In agricultural settings, this fencing is commonly used for perimeter boundaries of pasturelands and orchards where a low-profile barrier is sufficient to deter wildlife intrusion without obstructing sightlines. The green color blends with vegetation, reducing visual impact compared to galvanized or black alternatives. For poultry enclosures, the 2x4-inch mesh prevents entry of most predators while allowing hens to pass heads and wings freely for dust bathing near the fence line.

Temporary construction sites utilize this product for material storage zones and pedestrian pathway delineation. The PVC coating resists staining from concrete splatter and alkaline runoff, maintaining appearance throughout short-term projects. When deployed as erosion control silt fencing backup, the mesh provides structural support to geotextile fabric while withstanding hydrostatic pressure from retained sediment.

Installation on sloped terrain requires stepping the fence or using contour following techniques to avoid gaps at the base. Post holes should be set to frost depth in colder climates, with concrete recommended only for terminal and corner posts in sandy soils. Line posts in loamy soil may be tamped adequately without concrete, reducing material cost and installation time.

Each production batch undergoes inline coating thickness measurement using beta-backscatter gauges, with samples taken every 50 feet of line speed. Adhesion is verified via cross-hatch tape testing (ASTM D3359), requiring minimum 4B rating (90%+ coating retention). Tensile properties are sampled from every third roll using Instron tensile testers at 200 mm/min extension rate.

UV stability is assessed through quarterly QUV-B testing on representative samples, tracking color shift and elongation retention. Visual inspection occurs at 100% for coating uniformity, pinholes, and cold flow defects under 500 lux illumination. Packaging integrity is checked by drop testing filled pallets from 4 inches to confirm roll edges remain protected during transit.

Traceability is maintained through barcoded labels linking each roll to resin batch, galvanizing date, and extrusion parameters. Customers receive mill test reports upon request, detailing zinc weight, PVC compound lot, and average coating thickness. Non-conforming material is segregated and reprocessed to prevent shipment of substandard product.

Factory direct orders are packaged in UV-stabilized polyethylene shrink wrap, with each 50-foot roll secured by a single polyband. Standard pallet configuration holds 24 rolls (1,200 linear feet) stacked two high, wrapped in stretch film and corner-protected for forklift handling. Gross pallet weight averages 840 pounds, fitting within standard LTL carrier dimensions.

Lead time from order confirmation to shipment is typically 10–15 business days for stocked dimensions; custom heights or mesh sizes require additional tooling and extend lead time to 20–25 days. Shipping originates from the manufacturing facility in Hebei Province, China, with FOB terms available at Qingdao or Shanghai ports. Domestic US customers can arrange delivery via bonded warehouse partners in Los Angeles or Newark.

Minimum order quantity is 10 rolls for stocked items; lower volumes may be accommodated through regional distributors. Custom color matching (e.g., darker green for forestry applications) requires a minimum of 500 pounds of PVC compound and is subject to material compatibility testing. All quotations include itemized breakdowns of material, coating, and packaging costs.
