May 11, Great for mixed use areas where you need fencing heavy enough for large livestock and tighter mesh for small animals. This wire has nearly three times more zinc coating than class 1 galvanized for a longer lifetime. The high-tensile 14 gauge wires have higher breaking strength yet weighs less for easier installation, stretches less and costs less.

Class 1 Galvanized. Stay and Line Wires with a 10 Ga. Square knot provides extra vertical strength to withstand impact. Continuous vertical and horizontal wires, wrapped in a knot with a third wire, provides the strength and rigidity. Ideal for many light fencing and construction projects.

Produced from 20 gauge galvanized wire, woven for vertical and horizontal strength. Draw this netting up tight and it stays tight. Uniform hexagon mesh has evenly spaced horizontal wires to hold netting straight and firm. The most familiar knot that we all recognize is the barbed-wire knot. It consists of two wire strands twisted together and starred with either 2- or 4-point barbs at intermittent distances. The second type is the hinged-joint knot. This is formed by wrapping the vertical stay wire pieces around the line wire at each intersection.

It is considered the premium option, and tests have proven it has the highest vertical strength, moving and loosening less under pressure. Wire strength is expressed as tensile strength. The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure, for example breaking.

As such, wire strength is largely dependent on its carbon content, and wire fencing products are manufactured using either low-carbon or high-tensile wire. Low-carbon wire is made from a steel rod with a carbon content of approximately 0. This type of wire is easy to work with and fairly forgiving, allowing for increased stretching and elongation. High-tensile wire is made with higher carbon content at approximately 0.

By almost tripling the carbon content the wire strength significantly increases and reduces stretching and elongation. Our product framework is among the highest-strength steel available for fencing. Furthermore, high tensile combined with the fixed knot produces the strongest woven-wire fence available on the market.

Pairing these together make it highly resistant to livestock and wildlife damage, such as wild hogs. Superior construction prevents wild hogs from breaching the fence fabric like they do in low-tensile, field-fence wire. In fact, the breaking strength of each horizontal, gauge wire is around 1, lbs. Additionally, crimps in the horizontal high-tensile wires are installed with significant tension, so they resist force in spring-like fashion, which helps retain shape and strength.

Size of wire is expressed as gauge, which signifies its thickness or diameter. As the gauge number increases, the wire size decreases. Basically, the bigger the number, the smaller the wire. A lower-gauged thicker wire is best used for heavy animals that press against the wire. A higher-gauged thinner wire is sufficient for small, lightweight animals. In most cases, Tejas chooses the Although recommended gauge varies depending on specific needs, Professional-grade The galvanization process includes dipping the manufactured product in hot molten zinc, or in some cases, zinc and aluminum.

Thickness of the galvanized coating is ranked by class, indicating its life expectancy. Class 1 is the industry standard and has 0.

Class 3 is applied at 0. This coating weight is three times greater than Class 1. Class 40 zinc-aluminum coating provides the highest degree of protection available on the market. It is designed for fence installations in highly corrosive areas. The zinc-aluminum hybrid base coat extends the life of the wire by up to two times that of Class 3 galvanized wire. In most cases, Class 3 galvanized.

As reported, it can last three times longer than Class 1, effectively lengthening the lifespan and reducing overall cost of ownership. Plus, it requires very little maintenance, and landowners spend less time worrying about the durability and integrity of the fence. That said, for highly corrosive coastal areas where salty sea breezes can increase corrosion, Tejas recommends Class 40 zinc-aluminum coating.
