Aluminum Chain Link Fence – Premium Strength and Durability for Canadian Properties
When choosing a fence, strength, durability, and low maintenance are at the top of the list. Across Canada, businesses, municipalities, and homeowners rely on aluminum chain link fence as a premium solution that delivers long-lasting performance in even the toughest conditions.
Made from Aluminum Alloy 6061, Temper T94, this advanced fencing material is helically wound, woven into a continuous mesh (also called fence fabric), and built to meet ASTM F-1183 standards. It is ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects of any scale.
What Is Aluminum Chain Link Fence Fabric (Mesh)?
Aluminum chain link fence — sometimes referred to as fence fabric or fence mesh — is manufactured from high-strength aluminum wire that is helically wound and interwoven to form a continuous grid pattern. The ends of the wire are finished by knuckling or twisting (barbed selvage) to provide additional durability and safety.
This woven construction distributes force evenly across the material, making it exceptionally resilient. With tensile strengths up to 1560 lb per ft in 6-gauge wire, aluminum chain link is engineered for demanding environments while remaining lightweight and easy to install.
Strength Without Excess Weight
One of the greatest advantages of aluminum fencing is its ability to combine lightweight handling with outstanding tensile strength. While steel can be heavier to work with, aluminum provides similar or better performance without the added installation challenges. Contractors appreciate faster handling, and property owners benefit from a fence that stands strong for decades.
Built for Canadian Weather
From icy winters in the Prairies to humid coastal climates in British Columbia, Canadian weather can be punishing on outdoor structures. Aluminum chain link fabric is designed to resist these conditions. Unlike steel, which can eventually corrode, aluminum naturally resists rust. Its mill finish surface forms a protective oxide layer, allowing the fence to maintain both strength and appearance year after year.
Technical Specifications That Set It Apart
This fencing fabric is manufactured to exacting standards, giving it the reliability needed for residential, commercial, and industrial applications:
-
Material: Aluminum Alloy 6061, Temper T94
-
Standard Compliance: Meets ASTM F-1183
-
Tensile Strength: Up to 1560 lb per ft (6 ga wire)
-
Mesh Sizes: 3/8” to 2” openings
-
Heights: 36” to 240” (3 ft to 20 ft)
-
Selvage Options: Knuckled or twisted (barbed) ends for enhanced strength and safety
With this range of options, aluminum chain link fencing can be tailored to meet the unique demands of every project.

High-security installations requiring ASTM-certified fencing
The availability of mesh openings from 3/8” to 2” makes it easy to balance visibility, airflow, and security depending on the application.
Low Maintenance, Long-Term Reliability
Aluminum chain link fabric is virtually maintenance-free. Unlike wood, which requires painting and staining, or galvanized steel, which can eventually require rust treatment, aluminum needs no ongoing care. A simple rinse with water is enough to keep the fence looking new.
Aluminum vs. Traditional Chain Link
Traditional galvanized steel chain link fencing is a proven and effective option for many projects. However, aluminum chain link fabric provides a premium upgrade:
-
Rust resistance – Aluminum will not corrode, even in damp or salty conditions.
-
Lightweight strength – Easier to transport and install without sacrificing performance.
-
Long-term stability – Retains its tensile strength and integrity for decades with minimal upkeep.
Both options have their place, but aluminum offers enhanced reliability for property owners who want maximum performance with minimal maintenance.
An Eco-Friendly Material
Aluminum is fully recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally responsible projects. By choosing aluminum chain link mesh, you support green construction practices without compromising strength or durability.
