Chain Wire Fencing for Home and Garden
Chain wire fencing is ideal for a wide variety of uses around a Newcastle home, and Metal Mates stocks it in the heights and gauges to suit each one. It's tough, budget-friendly, and built to last, which is why it's still one of the most popular boundary options for everyday household use.
- Vegetable patch and garden bed boundaries to keep animals and pets out
- Chicken pen and poultry run enclosures
- Dog runs and pet enclosures that need a secure, see-through fence
- Side and rear yard boundary fencing on a budget
Chain Wire Fencing for Commercial and Industrial Sites
Metal Mates also supplies chain wire fencing for Newcastle's commercial and industrial sites, where a cost-effective, straightforward security boundary is exactly what's needed. It pairs easily with steel picket posts and gates for a complete site fence line.
- Temporary and semi-permanent commercial site boundaries
- Cost-effective perimeter security for industrial yards and storage sites
- Sports court and school boundary fencing
- Custom gate and access options to match your site fence
Chain Wire Mesh, Heights and Gate Options
Chain wire fencing comes in a range of mesh sizes, wire gauges and heights, and getting the right combination matters for what you're actually fencing. A finer mesh with a tighter gauge suits a chicken run or vegetable patch where you're keeping small animals out, while a heavier gauge and taller height suits a commercial boundary or a dog run for larger breeds. Our team can talk you through which combination suits your project before you order.
- Standard residential heights for garden, pet and boundary fencing
- Taller, heavier-gauge options for commercial and industrial security
- Matching posts, top rail and tie wire to complete the fence line
- Gate widths to suit both pedestrian access and vehicle entry points
Built to Last in Newcastle Conditions
Every chain wire fencing product we sell is galvanised for durability, which matters in a coastal environment where an uncoated wire fence won't last. Our galvanised chain wire resists the salt spray and humidity that cause cheaper, unprotected mesh to rust and sag within a few seasons, so you get a boundary that holds its shape for years, whether it's fencing a backyard chicken run or a full commercial yard.

Why Chain Wire Fencing Is a Popular Newcastle Choice
Chain wire fencing has stayed popular across Newcastle for a simple reason: it does the job without the price tag of a solid boundary fence. It lets light and airflow through, which suits a garden or pet enclosure better than a solid panel would, and it's quick to install compared to Colorbond or timber. For a lot of everyday jobs around a Newcastle property, chain wire is genuinely the most practical choice rather than just the cheapest one.

FAQs about Chain Wire Fencing in Newcastle
What heights does chain wire fencing come in?
We stock chain wire fencing in a range of standard heights to suit garden boundaries, pet enclosures and commercial security runs, and we can advise on the right height for your specific use. Call our team with your project details and we'll confirm what's in stock for same-day pickup.
Is chain wire fencing cheaper than steel picket or Colorbond fencing?
Generally, yes. Chain wire fencing is one of the most budget-friendly fencing options we stock, which is why it's popular for garden boundaries, pet runs and temporary commercial security where a lower-cost solution makes sense. For a more solid, private boundary, steel picket or Colorbond fencing may suit better.
Can Metal Mates supply gates to go with chain wire fencing?
Yes, we can supply or fabricate gates to match your chain wire fence line, for both residential and commercial applications. Let our team know your gate width and where it's going and we'll make sure the hardware suits the job.
Do you deliver chain wire fencing for large commercial orders?
Yes, our own delivery fleet handles chain wire fencing orders of any size, from a single roll for a backyard job to a full commercial site fit-out. Vehicles carry loads up to 11 tonnes and 11.2 metres, and we offer competitive volume pricing for contractors and businesses ordering larger runs.
What mesh size do I need for a chicken run or vegetable patch?
For keeping poultry in or small animals out, a finer mesh with a tighter gauge generally works better than a standard commercial-grade chain wire. Our team can recommend the right mesh size and gauge once we know what you're fencing in or out, so you're not paying for a heavier product than the job needs.
