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 |
50mm x 50mm |

Installation Instructions
To Do | Explanation |
Step 1 – Mark the Location |
Create a straight line to outline the fence between the two end posts. |
Step 2 – Measure Post Distance |
Mark the post locations, maintaining a 2-3m spacing between them. |
Step 3 – Install End Posts |
Use a post driver or mallet to sink the end posts 50cm into the ground.
Make sure the end posts are pointing in the same direction. |
Step 4 – Check for Same Height |
Attach a string across the end posts, and check the height of their installation using a tape measure. |
Step 5 – Check for Straightness |
Ensure that the posts have been installed completely straight by using a spirit level. |
Step 6 (Optional) – Set in Concrete |
For a sturdier and more reliable fence, enhance its stability by setting your posts in concrete.
This involves digging a 50cm hole and pouring cement to create a foundation for the posts. |
Step 7 – Install Middle Posts |
Follow steps 3 through 5 to install the middle posts.
|
Step 8 – Attach Mesh to End Post |
Start at the end post and secure the mesh to it by using cable ties. These ties can be threaded through the pre-drilled holes in the post.
You can add extra cable ties to encircle the entire post. |
Step 9 – Attach Mesh to Posts |
Secure the remaining part of the mesh by following the steps described in step 8. |
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.
