Anybody seen a fine chain link material

Jan 16, 2007 8 Replies

I'm trying to find a batch of fine chainlink material like a chain link fence but much much smaller ... like maybe10-20 links per inch, like a large jewelry chain type link. I'm not sure that makes sense. I need a few square yds.


Don't have a specific product or manufacturer, but DAGS under "metal fabric" and variations which returned quite a number of possibilities, both architectural and industrial. Didn't look, but one place to find a wide variety of materials available that may be hard to get from distributors is McMaster-Carr.

Chain-link fence is really woven wire. Is that what you're after, or are you looking for a square of chainmail?

If the latter, try

In fact, try them anyway.

Thanks for the search term, "chainmail". I think I'm on the right track now. : -)

What is DAGS? I'll try metal fabric along with chainmail.

Do a Google Search ?

If you want a true spiraled-wire chainlink material, check out the Cascade Coil Drapery Co. in Portland OR (they have a website). They make various sizes & metals (& plastics) of what I'd call rounded chainlink. I have then flattened some small pieces of it (to make it more like chainlink) using a vise.

Didn't come up on the first 40 hits. Later

What you are looking for is called "screen" as in screen door or screen window. You can buy it buy the roll in the big box store :)
