Stop Dogs Climbing: Select Hole Size
If you are unsure of your dog’s ability to climb we suggest going for a mesh hole size of 25mm x 25mm or less. This will ensure that your dog’s paws do not fit into the holes so they can lift themselves up and over the mesh.
| Hole size |
13mm x 13mm |
19mm x 19mm |
25mm x 25mm |

Installation Instructions
| To Do | Explanation |
|
Step 1 – Mark the Post Location
|
Specify the post locations while maintaining a spacing of 2-2.5m between each post. |
|
Step 2 – Dig Holes
|
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
|
After filling the holes with concrete, position your posts within the concrete. |
|
Step 4 – Attach Mesh to End Post
|
Take sufficient mesh to cover the distance between the initial two posts.
|
|
Step 5 – Repeat Step 4
|
Proceed with securing the remaining section of the mesh by following the process described in step 4. |
|
Step 6 – Attach Mesh to Last Posts
|
Attach the mesh to the last post to complete the fencing installation. |
|
Additional Step to Prevent Digging
|
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.
