Buying Guide: Galvanized Wire and Welded Fence

Galvanized Steel Wire
The 9 Ga. bright galvanized steel wire is uniformly Class 3 zinc coated and suits uses such as brace wire and clothesline. It is strong and long lasting and is easy to handle during installation.

Welded Wire Fence
The welded fence is a mesh of galvanized steel wires set horizontally and vertically, with each cross point welded to form rectangular openings. Automatic welding gives each weld a consistently strong bond. Options include 36 in. H x 50 ft. L and 36 in. H x 100 ft. L rolls.

Choosing the Right Product
Measure the area you plan to wire or fence before ordering, and match the gauge or size on your old part if you are replacing something. Compare the opening size and wire gauge on each fence roll before you buy.
