Structural Principle
Hinge Knot (Hinge Joint)
The hinge knot is a flexible joint structure. The vertical wire directly wraps around the horizontal wire to form a hinge-like connection without any additional binding wire. The knot can rotate slightly under external force and rebound properly after impact. This structure provides excellent softness and terrain adaptability for the fence mesh.
Fixed Knot
The fixed knot adopts an independent extra binding wire to firmly lock vertical wires and horizontal wires together. All wires are completely fixed without sliding or displacement. The knot is rigid and stable, which can permanently fix the mesh shape and will not loose or deform under long-term impact.
Comprehensive Performance Comparison

Comparison Item |
Hinge Knot |
Fixed Knot |
|
Knot Structure |
Vertical wire wraps horizontal wire directly, flexible movable joint |
Locked by independent binding wire, rigid fixed joint |
|
Wire Sliding Risk |
Possible displacement under continuous violent impact |
No sliding at all, mesh keeps original shape permanently |
|
Flexibility |
Excellent, fits undulating and hilly terrain perfectly |
Medium rigidity, limited bending range |
|
Impact Resistance |
Medium, suitable for mild and moderate impact |
Superior, resistant to violent collision and vandalism |
|
Post Spacing |
Relatively dense posts required |
Wider post spacing available, saves installation cost |
|
Cost |
Lower price, high cost performance |
Higher price, heavy-duty premium grade |
|
Disadvantages |
Mesh holes deform easily under long-term strong impact |
Protruding knots may scratch sensitive livestock skin |
Scene-Based Selection Guide
Choose Hinge Knot Field Fence
Applicable Scenarios:
- Large pasture areas, hilly, mountainous and undulating terrain
- Breeding sheep, goats and ordinary cattle with moderate impact force
- Projects with budget control and large-area land enclosure
- Internal zoning isolation of farms, non-boundary protection areas
Not Suitable For: Bulls, wild boars, stags and other livestock with strong impact force; high-strength anti-collision boundary fences.
Choose Fixed Knot Field Fence
Applicable Scenarios:
- Breeding bulls, bison, wild boars, deer and other impact-resistant animals
- Pasture outer boundary fences requiring long-term stability and no deformation
- Projects that need wider post spacing to reduce installation and material costs
- Hunting fences, wild animal isolation and high-load farm scenarios
Not Suitable For: Horse farms. The raised fixed knots may scratch horse skin. S-knot fence is more suitable for horses.
Quick Selection Summary
- Hinge Knot: Flexible, economical, perfect for uneven terrain and common livestock breeding.
- Fixed Knot: Sturdy, non-deformable, heavy-duty for violent livestock and long-term boundary protection.
