Durable And Inexpensive Fencing Wire In Oklahoma

by | Apr 29, 2014 | Business

Welded wire fencing in Oklahoma is an inexpensive and yet very durable fencing material which is somewhat similar in appearance to chain link fencing. Welded wire fencing can be purchased with different gauge wire and styles. Although this type of fencing can be and is being used for many purposes it is most often used for animal enclosures.

A chain link fence is woven and has the ability to flex due to the manufacturing technique. A welded wire fence provides similar benefits such as high strength, reasonable cost and sizes but it made in a different manner. Welded wire fencing consists of wires running vertical and horizontal and where they cross one another they are welded together in a high speed process similar to spot welding. The majority of welded fencing wire in Oklahoma is in a rectangular pattern but square and diamond patterns are also quite common.

The strength and the sturdiness of the fence material is dependent on two things; the gauge of the wire material and the spacing between the wires. Heavier gauge wire which is closely spaced is ideal for enclosing and containing even the largest and most aggressive animals whereas thinner gauge material spaced further apart provides a fence which is sufficient for containing mild manner animals or used as ornamental fencing.

The basic welded wire fence is made from bare wire; these fences are very economical and are used extensively on farms and ranches, especially for long runs. Although the wire may be bare, it usually is galvanized which gives the material reasonable protection from the environment. For those who wish to have great protection from the elements or perhaps a more pleasing appearance this type of fencing wire in Oklahoma can be vinyl coated.

Installing a welded wire fence is no more difficult than installing a chain link fence. The property owner sinks posts into the ground at a specified depth which is often determined by the frost line. Once the posts have been set in concrete the fence is simply attached to the posts with fencing nails. The most common form for this type of fencing is in rolls but many fence suppliers can construct modular panels which can be assembled with the poles.
