What is cyclone wire and how much does it cost?
Cyclone wire is galvanized chain-link fencing sold by the roll in the Philippines. Una Wire Products supplies it factory-direct in 4 ft (₱2,100/roll), 5 ft (₱2,600/roll), and 6 ft (₱3,000/roll) heights, each a 10-meter roll of G.I. #12, 2×2-inch diamond mesh. Prices are current as of September 2026.
What is Cyclone Wire?
Cyclone wire is the common Philippine name for galvanized chain-link fencing — a type of wire mesh made from interlocked, spirally wound wires that form a diamond-shaped pattern. The resulting fabric is flexible yet strong, making it one of the most practical and widely used fencing materials in the country. You may also hear it called hurricane wire, diamond mesh fencing, interlink fence (or interlink wire), or simply chain-link fence, depending on the region or the supplier. All of these refer to the same product.
The wire used to make cyclone wire is galvanized — coated with a layer of zinc — which gives it strong resistance to rust and corrosion. This makes it well-suited for outdoor use in the Philippine climate, where heat, humidity, and rain would quickly degrade uncoated steel. Because the fabric can be rolled up and is relatively lightweight compared to solid fencing materials, cyclone wire is also easy to transport, handle, and install on site.

How Much Cyclone Wire Fence Do You Need?
Cyclone wire is sold by the roll, so the first step in budgeting your fence is converting your perimeter length into rolls. Since each standard roll covers 10 linear meters, divide your total fence length by 10 and round up to get the number of rolls required.
| Fence Length | Rolls Needed | 4 ft Height Cost | 5 ft Height Cost | 6 ft Height Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 meters | 2 rolls | ₱4,200 | ₱5,200 | ₱6,000 |
| 50 meters | 5 rolls | ₱10,500 | ₱13,000 | ₱15,000 |
| 100 meters | 10 rolls | ₱21,000 | ₱26,000 | ₱30,000 |

Where is Cyclone Wire Used?
Cyclone wire is one of the most versatile fencing options available in the Philippines. Common applications include:
- Residential perimeter fencing. The most common use — defining property boundaries for houses, subdivisions, and residential lots. The 4ft and 5ft heights are popular for gardens and front yards; 6ft provides added privacy and security.
- Schools and institutional campuses. Widely installed around school grounds, government offices, and barangay halls where a visible yet low-cost perimeter barrier is needed. The open diamond mesh allows security personnel to see through the fence from both sides.
- Factories and industrial compounds. The 6ft height is the standard for factory perimeters, warehouses, and industrial lots. Often topped with barbed wire for added security.
- Sports courts and recreational areas. Basketball courts, tennis courts, and multi-purpose courts commonly use 10ft to 12ft cyclone wire panels to contain balls and define the playing area.
- Construction site enclosures. Temporary cyclone wire fencing is used to secure construction sites, restrict access, and define the work zone during building projects.
Cyclone Wire vs. Other Fencing Options
Choosing the right fencing material depends on your budget, security requirements, and site conditions. Here is how cyclone wire compares to the two most common alternatives:
| Fencing Type | Relative Cost | Security Level | Visibility Through | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyclone Wire | Medium | Medium — difficult to climb, easy to cut | High — open diamond mesh | General perimeter fencing, schools, residential lots, sports courts |
| Barbed Wire | Low | Low to medium — discourages trespass but easy to pass under | High — minimal obstruction | Agricultural land, farm perimeters, topping on existing fences |
| Welded Wire | Medium to high | Medium to high — rigid, harder to cut or bend | Medium — smaller mesh openings | Animal enclosures, garden borders, partitions, light-security panels |
For maximum perimeter security, cyclone wire is commonly combined with barbed wire topping. We supply both — contact us to discuss your requirements.
Cyclone Wire vs Steel Matting vs Hog Wire
Cyclone wire vs steel matting: cyclone wire is galvanized and sold in 10-meter rolls, so it is quick to unroll and stretch along a long perimeter. Steel matting comes as rigid welded sheets (a 4×8 ft sheet is 4 ft high and 2.44 m long), which suits rigid, hard-to-cut panels and enclosures; black iron matting is uncoated and needs paint outdoors, while galvanized matting resists rust. See steel matting for sizes and current prices.
Cyclone wire vs hog wire and barbed wire: hog wire is a stiffer livestock fence built to hold animals in, while cyclone wire is lighter, easier to roll out and see through, which suits boundaries, schools and courts. Barbed wire is a deterrent for farm perimeters and fence tops, not a barrier people cannot pass.
Installing a Cyclone Wire Fence
Cyclone wire is typically installed as a "cyclone wire fence" system: the woven mesh fabric stretched between concrete or G.I. pipe posts, secured with tension wire along the top and bottom, and tied off at line posts with hog rings or tie wire. A basic installation includes:
- End and corner posts — set in concrete footings, these anchor the fence and bear the tension load. They should be the sturdiest posts in the run.
- Line posts — spaced every 2 to 3 meters along straight runs to support the mesh and keep it from sagging.
- Top and bottom tension wire — runs the full length of the fence and is what the cyclone wire mesh is actually tied to, keeping the fabric taut and even.
- Cyclone wire fabric — unrolled and stretched between posts, then laced or tied to the tension wire and posts at regular intervals.
For most residential and commercial jobs in the Philippines, installation is quoted separately from the wire mesh itself. Let us know your fence length and site conditions and we can point you to the materials and quantities you'll need — or a same-day quote if you already have your layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is cyclone wire per roll?
As of September 2026, Una Wire Products' factory-direct price is ₱2,100 per roll for 4 ft height, ₱2,600 for 5 ft and ₱3,000 for 6 ft — each roll is 10 meters of G.I. #12, 2×2-inch diamond mesh. Prices move with steel market conditions, so call for a current quote on larger orders.
How many meters are in a roll of cyclone wire?
Each standard roll is 10 meters long. Divide your fence length by 10 and round up to get the number of rolls; 100 meters of fence needs 10 rolls. Custom roll lengths are available on request.
What height of cyclone wire fence should I use?
4 ft is common for garden borders and low boundary marking, 5 ft is the most popular all-around height for residential perimeter fencing, and 6 ft is the standard for commercial, industrial and higher-security perimeters. Sports courts typically use taller 10–12 ft panels.
Is interlink wire the same as cyclone wire?
Yes. Cyclone wire, interlink wire (interlink fence), chain-link fence and diamond mesh fencing are all names for the same galvanized woven-wire fence.
How long does a roll of cyclone wire last?
Hot-dipped galvanized cyclone wire typically lasts 10–15+ years in the Philippine climate before rust becomes a concern, provided posts and tension wire are properly maintained. Coastal or heavily humid sites may see a shorter service life.
Do you deliver cyclone wire outside Quezon City?
Yes. We deliver across Metro Manila and can arrange freight to other provinces for bulk orders. Delivery cost depends on quantity and destination — ask for a delivered price when you request your quote.
