Chain-Link Fence

Chain-link fencing is the most cost-effective way to enclose large industrial, storage and logistics areas. Woven from galvanised steel wire, the structure flexes with frost heave in the ground without breaking, and the open mesh gives CCTV cameras an unobstructed view. Mesh sizes 40×40 and 50×50 mm, heights 1000–3000 mm. Pur-ait supplies and installs throughout Finland.

Chain-link fencing for enclosing industrial properties

Chain-link fencing is an economical and durable solution for enclosing large industrial, storage and logistics areas. The mesh is woven from galvanised steel wire, which produces a flexible structure. Unlike rigid panel fences, chain-link mesh does not crack or break when the ground moves with frost. Its price per square metre is lower than that of panel fencing, making it a natural choice for extensive areas. The open mesh gives CCTV cameras an unobstructed view, and cameras, lighting and access control devices can be mounted on the posts. Service life is typically 20–30 years.

Aluminium or steel posts for chain-link fencing

The choice of post affects both the installation method and the maintenance requirement. The aluminium post is completely corrosion-free and of closed construction. The mesh is attached with a separate mesh clip, and the post needs no recoating during its service life. It suits sites where long-term maintenance needs to be kept to a minimum. On a steel post the mesh is fixed with self-drilling screws directly through the post, which speeds up installation and reduces labour costs. Both options are supplied as cast-in versions and are suitable for fence heights of 2000 and 2500 mm.

Planning a chain-link fence installation

Post spacing is typically approx. 3 metres, and 2.5 metres at corners and gate posts. The posts are set in a 700 mm deep concrete foundation, or alternatively fixed with a rock anchor or ground anchor depending on the soil. Before installation, mark the gate openings needed for vehicle routes, the optimal CCTV camera positions and the locations of any accessories, such as barbed wire or safety netting. The mesh is tensioned on top and bottom line wires and tied to the posts with binding wire or clips. Pur-ait supplies all components as a complete package, from posts to clips, and installs the fence ready for use.

Typical applications

On industrial properties, chain-link fencing encloses production areas, terminal and storage yards and material stores. In logistics areas it guides movement in distribution yards, loading areas and container depots. In energy infrastructure, including electrical substations, heating plants and pumping stations, mesh fencing meets the basic requirements for perimeter enclosure. At schools and sports facilities it safely encloses yards and pitches. For housing companies, chain-link fencing is used to enclose plots and car parks.

Chain-link fence price

The price of a chain-link fence depends on the site. Area, height (1000–3000 mm), choice of post (aluminium or steel) and installation conditions all affect the total price. Per square metre, chain-link fencing is one of the most affordable fencing solutions for large areas. Pur-ait delivers both as supply only and with full installation throughout Finland.

Frequently asked questions

Chain-Link Fence, FAQ

What is the service life of a chain-link fence?
Service life is typically 20–30 years depending on environmental conditions. Galvanised steel and aluminium withstand Finnish weather well, and individual damage can be repaired by replacing only the damaged section.
How are the posts of a chain-link fence founded?
The posts are installed in a 700 mm deep concrete foundation. Post spacing is typically approx. 3 metres, and 2.5 metres at corners and gates. Alternatively, a rock anchor or ground anchor can be used depending on the soil.
Which is better, an aluminium or a steel post?
The aluminium post is corrosion-free and needs no maintenance, so it suits sites where a long service life is expected. The steel post is quicker and more affordable to install. The choice depends on the site maintenance strategy and budget.
Can CCTV cameras be connected to a chain-link fence?
Yes. The open mesh gives cameras an unobstructed view, and cameras, lighting and access control devices can be mounted on the posts. Gates are integrated into the same system.
How much does a chain-link fence cost?
The price depends on the area, height, choice of post and installation conditions. Per square metre, chain-link fencing is among the most affordable solutions for large areas. Request a site-specific quote from Pur-ait.
