The Ubiquitous Chain link Fence Seen in all of the Photos.

I came across this product by accident but it fit the bill perfectly for scaled down chain link fencing.

It's an aluminum mesh used for sculpting and arts and crafts projects, called WIREFORM.

It comes in 16" x 20" sheets and also as an 18" roll.

I suspect there are similar products out there in Hobby and Arts and Crafts stores.

Be aware that it bends very easily! You'll want to handle it carefully so as not to stretch or deform it.

 

When making the actual fence, I cut strips of the mesh to the appropriate length and height, then cut aluminum tubing for the posts and rails.

To add a bit of authenticity to the piece, I used jewelry wire to hold the fencing to the posts.

The metal cap you see in the upper right hand corner of the fence, that receives the top rail, is a jewelry making item used for finishing off the end of a bracelet or necklace.
