9 gauge vinyl extruded (PVC) chain link in a 1-3/4" mesh size is typically used for tennis court applications. The use of a smaller mesh size keeps the tennis ball from getting stuck in the fabric.
We offer a full line of colored framework, fittings, and gates to match the fabric. Customers may also choose to pair the colored fabric with galvanized framework, which is also common practice.
We recommend using a light commercial (HF20) or commercial (HF40) framework be used with this fabric because of the heavier weight of the fabric.
Volume discounts provided on full pallet quantities (9 rolls).
KxK Selvage = Knuckle x Knuckle (Chain link top and bottoms are bent over).
KxT Selvage = Knuckle x Twist (Chain link is twisted at one end to form two barbs, while the other is bent over).
Vinyl Extruded chain link fence fabric has a steel core wire that is about 12 gauge and after coating, finishes out at 9 gauge. A heavier duty option would be extruded and bonded which uses an 11 gauge core which after coating, finishes out at an 8 guage finish. A last option which is special order would be fused and bonded. This is typically used in heavy commercial or industrial projects.
What is the difference between 'Extruded' and 'Extruded and Bonded'? In layman's terms, Extruded Vinyl, when cut with a knife, can be peeled off like a banana. However, it does not peel easily. Extruded and Bonded Vinyl is also adhered to the wire and would have to be cut off completely, much like peeling a potato. Extruded costs less than Extruded and Bonded.
About mesh size: The galvanized fabric mesh for 11-1/2 gauge measures 2-1/4". The 11, 9, and 6 gauge galvanized mesh measures 2". Mesh size is the measured distance between two parallel sides (see illustration).

Note about gauges: The smaller the number, the heavier the fabric; henceforth 9ga. is heavier than 11ga.. We recommend 11ga. for residential jobs and 9ga. for commercial jobs. Heavier gauges are not only stronger, but have a better finish; The heavier the gauge the longer it may be 'hot-dip galvanized' to prevent rust and corrosion.
| Fence Height | Weight per 30' Roll |
|---|---|
| 10' | 104 lbs. |
| 12' | 125 lbs. |
Rolls are supplied with an additional link for weaving onto another roll of material if over 30' is needed. On the flip side, a full roll can easily be trimmed down by un-knuckling (un-folding) the links on the ends and spinning the link out to one side of the roll.
