FAQs
Is plastic coated mesh a more effective finish than galvanised?
PVC coated and galvanised mesh both last for many years and are highly resistant to corrosion. Plastic covered mesh is often a preference for gardens and natural surroundings as it blends in better than metal galvanised mesh.
What are the advantages to PVC coating?
Polyvinyl Chloride offers high resistance to weathering and rust, making it ideal for outdoor use.
How should I attach the garden mesh to my fence posts?
If using wooden posts, you can opt for wooden screws fitted to the top, middle and bottom. Another option is a staple gun. Special ties or a drill will be needed if you have metal posts.
How far should I space out fence post holes?
Depending on available space, a sturdy fence requires an eight foot gap between each fence post.
