Use a material called "wedding Vail". You can get it at fabric shops.

Wedding veil material (called tulle), is available from any fabric shop, and is available in hexagonal and diamond patterns, though in 1/35th scale, most grades are better for depicting chicken wire than chain link (so-called hurricane fencing), which is made from heavy gauge wire. Sometimes plastic window screen can work, though the weave isn't precisely the same as chain link in close-up.

Try hitting the produce section at your local store - citrus and onion products often come in a mesh bag that looks very much like chain link fence, and it looks about the right scale.

One of my first posts here, if I remember correctly...so..hi.

Anyway, at your local craft store, like michaels, there is a thick metal-mesh that is used (primarily for science projects, or so the packaging hints), it's used to support something like plaster-cloth or thin cell-u-clay.
