Chain link fence, also known as chain-wire fence, cyclone fence, hurricane fence,Heavy-Duty Galvanized fence,link fenc chain,chain fence, or diamond-mesh fence, is a type of woven fence typically made from galvanized or PVC-coated steel wire. The wires run vertically and are bent into a zig-zag pattern, with each 'zig' hooking with the wire immediately on one side and each 'zag' hooking with the wire immediately on the other. This creates the characteristic diamond pattern seen in this type of fence.

Chain link fence is a versatile fencing option that uses woven steel wire to create panels, making it widely used in various applications.

A metal wire, often galvanized to reduce corrosion, is pulled along a rotating long and flat blade, thus creating a somewhat flattened spiral. The spiral continues to rotate past the blade and winds its way through the previous spiral that is already part of the fence. When the spiral reaches the far end of the fence, the spiral is cut near the blade. Next, the spiral is pressed flat and the entire fence is moved up, ready for the next cycle. The end of every second spiral overlaps the end of every first spiral. The machine clamps both ends and gives them a few twists. This makes the links permanent.
