Steel Wire for Agriculture and Poultry

Agricultural wire is bought for the long haul, so the failure modes are all about time in the field:

• Coatings that do not last the seasons in wet, humid or coastal farms, forcing early replacement.
• Fence wire that sags or breaks under long-span tension because the temper is wrong.
• Choosing the right coating and temper for a specific crop, animal or climate.
• Sourcing one supplier for vineyard, cattle-fence, poultry and tying wire.
• Colour and extra protection for tying and gardening wire that bare galvanized cannot give.

A single source for the wire behind most farm and poultry applications, round or oval, soft to high-tensile.

Vineyard and trellis lines want high-tensile wire that holds tension over long rows; cattle fencing often uses oval wire for strength and grip; poultry netting and tying wire want a softer, workable temper. We supply the full range so a farm or distributor can standardize on one mill.

• Zn-Al alloy coated wire for poultry and agriculture
• Hot-dip galvanized vineyard and trellis wire
• Oval and round wire for cattle fencing
• PVC-coated gardening and tying wire
• Wire for greenhouse supporting structures

Zinc-aluminium (Galfan) coating gives the longest life in wet, humid or coastal farming environments, while standard galvanizing suits general use. PVC coating adds colour and extra protection for tying and gardening wire.

We match the coating weight to the crop, climate and design life, so you are not paying for a heavier coating than the field needs — or risking early failure from one that is too light. For the harshest sites, Galfan at a moderate weight often outlasts a much heavier plain-galvanized coating.

The right coating depends on where the wire will live, and matching it to the site is the single biggest decision. For dry or general use, standard hot-dip galvanizing is a cost-effective choice that gives years of service. For humid, wet or coastal ground, zinc-aluminium (Galfan) coating lasts far longer at the same coating weight, so it is usually the better value despite a higher price per tonne. For tying, orchard and decorative use, a PVC or PE coating over a galvanized core adds colour and an extra barrier.

We help you weigh coating type, coating weight and wire temper against the crop, the climate and the design life, so the wire lasts as long as the structure it supports rather than failing early or costing more than it needs to. Tell us the application and the location — vineyard, cattle range, poultry house or orchard — and we will recommend a specification and confirm it against the relevant standard, with a coating-weight target you can hold us to.

Agricultural wire is supplied to ASTM A641, EN 10244-2 or a customer specification, depending on the market and product. Zhongbo manufactures and tests to these standards or your own, and can provide a mill test certificate covering diameter and coating weight. Tell us the crop or animal, the climate and the design life and we will recommend a coating type, weight and temper.

Farmers, distributors and fence contractors choose us because the wire lasts in the field and covers the whole range. What sets it apart:

• Galfan (Zn-Al) coating for the longest field life in humid and coastal areas — a cost-effective route to a long design life.
• Round and oval wire, soft to high-tensile, for every farm and poultry application from one source.
• PVC-coated options in a range of colours for tying, orchard and greenhouse wire.
• Coating weight matched to crop, climate and design life, so you neither over-pay nor under-protect.
• Batch-tested diameter and coating, with certificates on request for resale.
