Stop Dogs Climbing: Select Hole Size

Hole size

19mm x 19mm

25mm x 25mm

50mm x 50mm

Installation Instructions

To Do Explanation

Step 1 – Mark the Post Location

barbed-wire-step-2

Specify the post locations while maintaining a spacing of 2-2.5m between each post.

Step 2 – Dig Holes

barbed-wire-step-3

Dig a hole for the posts, ensuring that the depth of the hole is approx. one-third of the post’s length.

 

 

Use a spirit level to verify that the posts are perfectly upright.

Step 3 (Optional) – Cement Posts In

barbed-wire-step-4

After filling the holes with concrete, position your posts within the concrete.

Step 4 – Attach Mesh to End Post

dog-fencing-welded-mesh-wooden-step-4

Take sufficient mesh to cover the distance between the initial two posts.

 



Secure the mesh to the posts using staples or cable ties at 15cm intervals.

Step 5 – Repeat Step 4

dog-fencing-welded-mesh-wooden-step-5

Proceed with securing the remaining section of the mesh by following the process described in step 4.

Step 6 – Attach Mesh to Last Posts

dog-fencing-welded-mesh-wooden-step-6

Attach the mesh to the last post to complete the fencing installation.

Additional Step to Prevent Digging

dog-fencing-welded-mesh-prevent-digging2

Dig a trench along your fence line, then fold the bottom of the mesh at a 90-degree angle to form a 15cm lip. This extension will cover the trench’s bottom.

 



Use pegs to secure the extension to the ground at every 60cm, then cover it by adding a layer of soil or mulch over it.
