16G Galvanized Fencing Wire 1.6mm Zinc Coated

16g Galvanized Fencing Wire Wire

The Generic 16G Galvanized Fencing Wire provides a reliable balance of flexibility and tensile strength for professional site applications. This 1.6mm diameter steel wire features a protective zinc coating to prevent oxidation and structural failure in outdoor environments. It serves as a primary material for securing fencing mesh, bundling rebar, and general maintenance tasks.

Built for the Job

Contractors and site supervisors rely on this specific gauge for its versatility across multiple trades. In fencing, this material functions as a secondary support or a lacing wire to secure chain-link fabric to line wires and posts. The mild steel core allows for easy manipulation using standard pliers or fencing tools without snapping under moderate tension. It remains a staple in concrete reinforcement for tying rebar intersections before a pour. The zinc layer ensures the metal does not corrode prematurely when exposed to moisture or concrete additives.

• Securing security fencing and mesh panels to structural supports.
• Binding rebar and mesh reinforcement in masonry and concrete work.
• General workshop utility for hanging signage or temporary fixtures.
