Wire Fence Panels Specifications
A wire fence panel is a pre-fabricated, rigid section — framed or self-supporting — defined by panel height and width, mesh opening, wire diameter, frame type, coating, steel grade, and standard. Unlike field-cut welded mesh rolls, panels bolt to posts in standardized widths that match post centers, install without site fabrication, and relocate intact between projects.
Framed and self-supporting wire fence panels from 0.9 m to 3.0 m high and 2.0-3.5 m wide, with special heights and widths to order
Square openings from 50x50 mm to 200x200 mm, with rectangular and diamond patterns on request for special duties
2.0-6.0 mm low-carbon steel wire with weld shear strength controlled at every intersection
Framed panels carry mesh inside a welded angle or tube frame with pre-drilled bolt holes; self-supporting panels use heavier mesh wire without a frame
Electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized before or after welding, PVC-coated, and powder-coated wire fence panels in RAL colors
Zinc-coated steel wire per ASTM A641, welded wire mesh fencing per ASTM F2549, open mesh steel panel fences per BS 1722-14

Coating Options for Wire Fence Panels
Match the coating to exposure and budget. Coating choice decides how many years wire fence panels stay sound, so state the zinc weight or PVC thickness in the RFQ.
| Coating | Finish and thickness | Expected life | Best for | RFQ note | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electro-galvanized | Bright thin zinc, 30-60 g/m2 | 3-5 years outdoors | Indoor, temporary, and low-budget fencing | Specify zinc weight; not suitable for coastal or acid environments | |
| Hot-dip galvanized | Dull grey zinc, 250-350 g/m2 | 15-25 years | Permanent farm, site, and security fencing | Choose hot-dip after welding so weld points are fully covered | |
| PVC coated | Zinc base plus 0.4-0.6 mm PVC | 15-25 years | Gardens, estates, and colored fencing | State RAL color and confirm UV-stabilized compound for sun-exposed sites | |
| Powder coated | Zinc base plus 60-100 micron powder | 15-25 years | Public spaces and architectural fencing | Confirm coating thickness and surface prep; order touch-up kits for site scratches |
Selecting Wire Fence Panels by Application
A practical starting point for specifying wire fence panels by duty. Confirm the animal, site, and security level before finalizing opening and wire.
| Application | Panel height | Mesh opening | Wire diameter | Format | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poultry and small animals | 0.9-1.2 m | 50x50 mm | 2.0-2.5 mm | Framed panels | |
| Sheep and goats | 1.2-1.5 m | 75x75 mm | 2.5-3.0 mm | Framed or self-supporting | |
| Cattle and horses | 1.5-1.8 m | 100x100 mm | 3.0-4.0 mm | Self-supporting panels | |
| Construction sites | 2.0-2.4 m | 150x150 mm | 4.0-5.0 mm | Framed panels with feet | |
| High security | 2.4-3.0 m | 200x200 mm | 5.0-6.0 mm | Framed panels with anti-climb top |
Temporary vs Permanent Wire Fence Panels
Decide between temporary-rated and permanent-rated wire fence panels before ordering. The wrong choice either wastes mobility or compromises security.
| Factor | Temporary wire fence panels | Permanent wire fence panels | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Ballast bases or concrete blocks (no digging) | Set posts in concrete footings | |
| Panel feet | Integrated feet with pin couplings | Bolt-on brackets to line posts | |
| Frame weight | Light to medium frame for manual handling | Heavy frame for impact resistance | |
| Installation time | Hours; no foundations needed | Days; concrete curing required | |
| Relocation | Intact; panels decouple and re-deploy | Difficult; posts left in ground | |
| Best for | Events, construction sites, emergency barriers | Security perimeters, livestock yards, estates | |
| Anti-climb | Optional add-on top edge | Integrated anti-climb top rail |
Wire Fence Panels vs Welded Mesh Rolls vs Chain Link
Compare the three most common fence routes before you specify. Wire fence panels win on rigidity, installation speed, and reusability; rolls and chain link win on cost and curves.
| Property | Wire fence panels | Welded mesh rolls | Chain link fence | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per meter | Moderate; panels need fewer posts | Moderate; tensioned between posts | Lowest; posts every 2-3 m | |
| Rigidity | Rigid, holds shape under impact | Flexible, sags under load | Flexible, sags and bulges | |
| Installation speed | Fastest; bolt panels to posts | Medium; tensioning required | Medium; tensioning skill needed | |
| Reusability | High; panels relocate intact | Low; rolls cut and retie | Medium; re-stretchable | |
| Follows slopes | Poor; needs stepped panels | Good; follows contours | Excellent; follows any ground | |
| Best for | Sites, security, livestock yards | Long farm boundaries | Long boundaries, curves |
Post Spacing for Wire Fence Panels
Post spacing controls how much a wire fence panel deflects under stock pressure and wind. Reduce spacing by 20-30% in exposed sites or where heavy stock push against the panels.
| Panel height | Wire diameter | Recommended post spacing | Typical duty | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.9-1.2 m | 2.0-2.5 mm | 2.5-3.0 m | Garden and small animal runs | |
| 1.2-1.5 m | 2.5-3.0 mm | 2.5-3.0 m | Sheep and medium livestock | |
| 1.5-1.8 m | 3.0-4.0 mm | 2.5-3.0 m | Cattle and horses | |
| 1.8-2.4 m | 4.0-5.0 mm | 2.0-2.5 m | Construction sites and security; reduce spacing in high wind areas | |
| 2.4-3.0 m | 5.0-6.0 mm | 1.5-2.0 m | High security; reduce spacing in exposed sites |
Wire Fence Panels Height Guide
Match wire fence panel height to the animal or security level. Height works with opening size: never combine a low fence with a large opening where children or small stock are present.
| Purpose | Recommended height | Mesh opening | Top treatment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pets and poultry | 0.9-1.2 m | 50x50 mm | Plain top edge | |
| Sheep and goats | 1.2-1.5 m | 75x75 mm | Plain top or single top wire | |
| Cattle and horses | 1.5-1.8 m | 100x100 mm | Plain top edge | |
| Construction sites | 2.0-2.4 m | 150x150 mm | Anti-climb top or security topping | |
| High security | 2.4 m and above | 200x200 mm | Anti-climb top rail with concertina options |
Wire Fence Panel Types We Source
Three wire fence panel formats cover almost every site. Compare rigidity, installation speed, and coating before you specify.
Framed wire fence panels
Welded mesh tensioned inside an angle or tube frame with pre-drilled bolt holes. The stiffest format for security, construction sites, and fast repeat installation.
Self-supporting wire fence panels
Heavier mesh wire without a frame, fixed to posts with clips or brackets. The economical format for livestock yards and long perimeter runs.
Coated wire fence panels
Hot-dip galvanized, PVC-coated, or powder-coated routes that protect weld points and wire from corrosion and add color for public and garden sites.
How to Select the Right Wire Fence Panels
Start from the animal or site you must contain, then fix panel format, height, opening, wire, coating, and post spacing. A complete wire fence panel RFQ avoids re-quotes and wrong deliveries.
Framed or self-supporting?
Choose framed wire fence panels for maximum rigidity, security, and fast relocation; self-supporting panels suit livestock and long runs where cost per meter matters more.
Panel height
Match wire fence panel height to the animal, person, or security level. 0.9-1.2 m suits pets; 1.8-2.4 m suits construction sites; 2.4-3.0 m suits high-security perimeters.
Panel width and post spacing
Standard wire fence panels are 2.0-3.0 m wide. Share the post centers with us and we match panel widths so panels install without cutting welds.
Mesh opening size
Small animals need 50x50 mm openings; cattle and horses are safely held by 100x100 mm. Never exceed 150x150 mm where children or small stock are present.
Wire diameter
Thicker wire resists impact and sagging but raises weight and price. Use 2.0-2.5 mm for light duty and 4.0-6.0 mm for construction and security panels.
Coating choice
Electro-galvanized wire fence panels suit indoor and temporary use. Hot-dip galvanizing after welding covers every weld point and delivers 15-25 years outdoors.
PVC or powder coating?
PVC coating adds color, UV protection, and a smooth finish for gardens and estates. Powder coating suits public and architectural sites. Both need a galvanized base.
Gates and corner panels
Specify walk gates (1.0-1.2 m), vehicle gates (3-4 m), braced corner posts, and matching gate panels with the fence order so the run stays square.
Standards and certification
Confirm the ASTM A641 zinc coating class and ASTM F2549 welding requirements with the supplier, and request material certificates with the order.
Panel count calculation
Measure the total fence line, subtract gate widths, then divide by the panel width. Order 3-5% extra for joins, corners, and cutting waste.
Sample and batch consistency
Confirm opening, wire, coating, and weld quality on a sample, then lock inspection standards before mass production so bulk wire fence panels match the approved sample.
Transport and handling
Plan forklift or crane access for tall panels and keep panels upright in transit. Framed panels are heavy; confirm lifting points and crew size before delivery.
Why Buyers Choose Wire Fence Panels
Wire fence panels remain the default barrier for sites, perimeters, and livestock yards for honest reasons: rigidity, speed, and low lifetime cost.
Rigid, ready-to-erect sections
Every wire intersection is welded, so wire fence panels arrive flat, square, and ready to bolt to posts without site fabrication.
Fast, low-skill installation
Panels bolt to posts in minutes and relocate intact, cutting labor cost against masonry, timber, or tensioned alternatives.
Decades of service when galvanized
Hot-dip galvanized wire fence panels with proper zinc weight last 15-25 years outdoors with no painting and minimal maintenance.
Cost-effective security
Rigid wire fence panels are hard to climb and cut, delivering high-security performance at a fraction of solid wall cost.
Cut and finished to order
Panels, gates, and special heights are manufactured to drawing, so the panel fence fits the site without field cutting.
Verified, traceable supply
Every wire fence panel lot ships with material certificates, zinc coating reports, and labels stating opening, wire, coating, and dimensions.
Where Wire Fence Panels Are Used
Choose wire fence panels when you need rigid, see-through, low-maintenance sections that install fast, stay square for decades, and relocate between projects.
Construction site and temporary fencing
Rigid wire fence panels with panel feet form instant hoardings and fall-protection barriers that survive site abuse and relocate between projects.
Security perimeters
2.4-3.0 m wire fence panels around warehouses, compounds, and utilities deter climbing while keeping full sight lines for patrols and cameras.
Livestock and agriculture
Wire fence panels with 75-100 mm openings contain cattle, horses, and sheep in yards and paddocks while staying visible and easy to clean.
Garden and residential property
PVC-coated wire fence panels in green or black define boundaries and enclose pools or dogs without blocking views.
Sports and playground enclosures
Smooth, rigid wire fence panels contain balls and children safely around pitches, courts, and playgrounds.
Road, rail, and industrial sites
Heavy wire fence panels keep pedestrians and livestock clear of highways, rail corridors, and restricted industrial zones.
Wire Fence Panel Buying Mistakes to Avoid
Ten errors that cause early rust, stock escapes, or specification disputes. Every one is avoidable at the RFQ stage.
Choosing electro galvanizing for outdoor duty
Electro-galvanized wire fence panels rust within a few years outdoors. Specify hot-dip galvanizing with 250-350 g/m2 zinc for permanent fencing.
Buying by wire gauge alone
Gauge numbers vary between wire systems and can hide thin wire. State wire diameter in millimeters and weld shear strength in the RFQ.
Oversized openings for small livestock
100x100 mm openings let lambs, kids, and poultry escape or get stuck. Use 50x50 or 75x75 mm where small animals are present.
Forgetting weld point protection
Welds are the first places rust starts unless covered. Hot-dip galvanizing after welding protects every intersection; electro coating leaves weld points vulnerable.
Ignoring zinc coating weight
Zinc weight decides service life. Wire fence panels with thin zinc fail years early. Specify g/m2 and the ASTM A641 class, not just 'galvanized'.
Mismatching panel widths to post spacing
Panels ordered wider than the post centers cannot be fitted without cutting welds. Share post spacing before confirming panel dimensions.
Skipping gate and corner hardware
Gates, corner posts, and braces take the highest loads in any fence. Plan them into the order so the run stays square under tension.
Choosing panels where rolls fit better
Rigid panels on undulating terrain leave gaps under the fence. Use tensioned rolls or order stepped panel heights for sloped ground.
Underestimating wind load
Tall wire fence panels catch wind like a sail. On exposed sites, tight post spacing and deeper-set posts are required, or the fence can be pulled over in the first storm season.
Ignoring frame weld quality
Frame welds carry the whole panel. Confirm continuous welds and coating coverage at frame joints, especially on framed panels exposed to impact or climbing.
Set posts, mount panels, and protect weld points to get the full service life from wire fence panels.
Working with Wire Fence Panels
Set and align posts
Set end, corner, and line posts at the planned centers, plumb them, and cure the concrete before fixing any wire fence panels.
Mount panels
Bolt framed panels to posts with brackets at top, middle, and bottom. For self-supporting panels, clip or tie at every horizontal wire.
Join sections and fit gates
Align panel edges on the post center line and fit gates with braced gate posts, so the panel fence stays square under load.
Check welds and finish
Inspect every panel after installation and touch up any scratched coating with zinc-rich paint to stop rust before it starts.
Wire Fence Panel Packing for Export
Packing keeps panels flat, frames square, and coatings undamaged through transit and receiving inspection.
Panels flat-stacked and strapped
Wire fence panels are stacked flat with corner and edge protectors, strapped to pallets, and wrapped against abrasion.
Edge protection on frames
Framed panels get extra corner guards where the frame meets the mesh, so coatings arrive scratch-free.
Palletized for container loading
Pallet loads follow the container plan with steel strapping and corner guards, so panels arrive flat and square.
Label by specification
Every package carries mesh opening, wire diameter, coating, dimensions, quantity, and production lot.
Certificates on request
Material certificates and zinc coating reports accompany every wire fence panel shipment when ordered; SGS, BV, or TUV inspection is available.
