When it comes to fencing around football fields, one of the most common choices is PVC/PE-coated chain-link mesh. The inner wire is made from high-quality low-carbon steel and is first hot-dip galvanized for rust resistance. Then, it’s coated with a layer of plastic—either PE or PVC—for extra durability and weather protection.
This type of fencing is made using a combination of weaving and welding techniques. As for surface treatment, the mesh itself uses PE/PVC-coated wires, while the posts and frame components (like top rails and side frames) are finished with either powder coating or dip coating to boost corrosion resistance and keep things looking clean.
Here are the typical specs you’ll see:
- Mesh size: Usually 50mm × 50mm or 60mm × 60mm
- Wire diameter (after coating): Around 3.8mm
- Panel dimensions: Commonly 3,000mm wide by 2,000mm tall (that’s 3 meters by 2 meters)
- Posts: Made from 60mm-diameter round steel tubes with a wall thickness of 2.5mm
- Horizontal rails: Typically 50mm-diameter round tubes, 2mm thick
As for color, most people go with dark green or grass green—but honestly, dark green is by far the more popular option because it blends in nicely with the turf and looks sharp year-round.
And why do folks love this kind of fencing? It’s simple: it’s tough, low-maintenance, easy to install, and does a great job keeping the ball in play while also making the whole field look neat and professional. Plus, it holds up well against sun, rain, and daily wear—so you’re not constantly fixing or repainting it.
