Technical Specifications

Installation / Usage Tips

• Wear heavy gloves and safety glasses when handling and cutting the mesh to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
• Cut with tin snips or fencing shears designed for welded wire; edges can be bent over or finished with edging strips for safety.
• Fasten with galvanized staples, fencing clips, or galvanized wire to posts for a long-lasting connection.
• For predator protection, bury the bottom 3–6 inches or extend the mesh outward underground to deter digging.
• Store off the ground in a dry place if not installed immediately to protect the coating and prevent deformation.
