Hinge Joint Knots

Hinge Joints are the traditional fence nets which have been used for many decades. They are available in high tensile and mild steel wires. The vertical wires join each line wire to the next and wrap around the next vertical wire. The fence can hinge with these knots. There are occasions when this is advantageous, for instance when turning out a top or bottom section of the net to prevent predators bypassing the fence over or under. Mild steel nets can be helpful where the animal pressure is low and there are many changes in direction and elevation of the fence, but require more maintenance to re-tension over their service life. Hinge joint fences are most often used for livestock fences in conjunction with barbed wire
