The mesh size of CHAIN LINK Fence

[STEVE LIU]

HI guys :

I have a problem about purchase wrong size of fence.
The mesh size should be 50 mm x 50 mm,but we purchase 60 mm x 60 mm.
I just wonder what kinds of property influences by size of mesh.
strength ? and have any calculation ? what reason for choice mesh size ?
I need to check 60 mm x 60 mm still available for our project or not.

many thanks for your help.

Steve - google Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute. They have a number of publications on fence materials and construction. 60 mm vs 50 mm in terms of strength or wind load on a 1 meter fence isn’t going to have any effect. Sometimes the mesh size is selected to keep people from climbing the fence. Again, 1 meter fence, 1 might still be able to jump it at my age.
