In this process the wire rod is drawn to gauge, and the strand wire is then pulled through a pot of molten zinc. The wire is then woven into chain link fabric. Generally chain link fabric made using this process carries a zinc weight of .8 ounces per square foot or less. The distance between two parallel wires in the fabric is referred to as the mesh size. The quality of chain link fence fabric is determined by both the gauge of the wire and the weight of the zinc coating applied to the wire.
Frame work is the tubular steel frame that chain link fabric is attached to.
Terminal posts are set in concrete and are end, corner, and gate posts. Line posts are smaller in diameter than terminal posts and are the intermediate posts between terminal posts. These should also be set in concrete. The top rail is attached to the terminal posts and passes through fittings which are attached to line posts. This provides a horizontal frame that supports that fabric.
