Industry Trends: Why Knotted Fence is Dominating Fencing Markets in 2024
The demand for durable, cost-efficient boundary solutions is rising globally. According to market analysis from Grand View Research (2024), the global fencing market reached $28.4 billion in 2023, with rural and agricultural fencing (led by knotted fence designs) contributing over 23% to that figure. Fixed knot fence types have grown by more than 8% CAGR due to:
Increasing focus on livestock containment and property delineation in farming
Emphasis on eco-friendly, long-lifespan products (with lifespans up to 30-50 years)
Manufacturing Process and Quality Control of Knotted Fence
✔Wire Drawing: Low carbon steel rods are drawn through precision dies, achieving uniform thickness (per ISO 9001 & ASTM A116).
✔Galvanizing: Wires undergo hot-dip galvanizing or Zinc-Aluminum 95/5 coating. Typical coating: >240g/m2 (Class 3 as per ASTM A641).
✔Knotting & Weaving: Specialized CNC machinery crafts the fixed knots, ensuring a tight mechanical lock and anti-slip performance.
✔Quality Control (QC): Every roll tested for tensile strength, mesh uniformity. Complies with EN 10223-5 and ANSI/ASTM fencing standards. Sample-destruction and salt spray tests confirm durability.
The result: knotted fence products with 30-50 years lifespan, high impact resistance, and maintenance-free strengths ideal for harsh climates and heavy livestock.

Certifications, Materials, and Industry Benchmarks of Knotted Fence
Livestock Management: Secure containment for cattle, bison, and sheep; fixed knot fencing resists pressure and reduces animal injuries.
Wildlife Protection:Fixed knot deer fence offers 2+ meter heights and ultra-tight mesh spacing to prevent wildlife entry or escape.
Perimeter Security: Used at airports, industrial perimeters, and military facilities, provides anti-climb, anti-cut barrier protection.
Forestry & Orchard Management: Minimizes crop and sapling damage by restricting animal access. Meets NFA forestry fencing standards.
Estate & Park Boundaries:Knot wood fencing blends visual appeal with robust security for country estates and public parks.
Case Study: Fixed Knot Fencing for Cattle Ranch
Background: A 5,600-acre cattle ranch in Texas faced recurring issues with animal breakouts, fence corrosion, and high maintenance under local weather extremes. Solution: Upgraded to high tensile fixed knot wire fencing for cattle from TYWireMesh.
Installed 38km of fence (2.5mm galvanized hi-tensile wire, Class 3 coating, mesh 200x150mm, 2.1m height)
Breakage incidents dropped from 18/year to 1 in 36 months
Maintenance costs reduced by $4,200/year
Customer testimonial (2023): “This is the first fencing solution to truly be worry-free. It stands up to bulls, elk and Texas weather.”
→ ROI: Achieved payback within 2.8 years, further reduced fencing labor requirements by 62%.
FAQ: Professional Insights on Knotted Fence Technology
Q1: What is the difference between fixed knot and hinge joint fencing?
Fixed knot fencing uses a mechanical “wrap & tie” knot with steel wire, providing a solid, non-slip mesh. Hinge joint fencing uses a looser, bendable “hinge” knot which may deform under pressure and sags sooner. Fixed knot is approx. 45% stronger in field tests (EN 10223-5).
Q2: What are the standard wire diameters for knotted fence manufacture?
Horizontal wires: 2.0-2.8mm; Vertical wires: 2.2-3.0mm. Custom diameters available for specified loading grades or animal species.
Q3: Which standards and certifications are most vital for international projects?
ISO 9001 for quality management, EN 10223-5 (Europe), ASTM A116/A641 (US), and ANSI for safety. Class 3 galvanization is recommended for maximum lifespan.
Q4: How does the fixed knot deer fence deter wildlife?
Tall mesh (up to 2.5–3m), close mesh at the base, and stiff verticals stop deer/leap attempts. Galvanized surfacing withstands forest moisture.
Q5: What is the typical delivery time for custom knotted fence orders?
Standard stock: 7-10 days. Custom mesh: 17–25 days (plus shipping time). Bulk projects can be phased for staged delivery.
Q6: Are there guarantees or warranties offered?
Yes. TYWireMesh products come with a min. 10-year manufacturer’s warranty and up to 30 years for premium fixed knot specifications.
Q7: Is installation complicated, and are there recommended installation standards?
Typically follows ASTM 1015-11. Can be installed with wood, steel, or concrete posts. Professional tensioners recommended—full guidance included or available onsite.
Ordering, Warranty, and Customer Support
Lead Time: Standard size: dispatch in 7 days. Custom mesh: 2–4 weeks, rush options available
Packaging: Rolls bundled, heat-sealed, and steel-strapped on pallets for sea/land transport safety
Warranty: 10–30 years (depending on grade/specification); written guarantee supplied per order
Global Delivery: Major ports, air, rail, road; full customs documentation provided (CE/COC/ISO certificates)
Conclusion: Knotted Fence — The Proven Solution for Modern Demands
The evolution of knotted fence—and especially fixed knot technology—means ranchers, landowners, and security professionals now have access to the world’s strongest, longest-lasting wire mesh solution. Multiple certifications, 30+ year field success, and comprehensive support position it as the clear market leader for farm, wildlife, and critical perimeter needs.
