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 – Mark Wire Location

tensioning-wire-step-4

Start by marking the position for each wire strand on both the starting and ending posts.

Step 5 – Attach Wire to Start Post

tensioning-wire-step-5

Fasten the initial wire strand to the bottom part of the starting post.

 



Hook it around the post, twist it backward, and wind it around itself 4-5 times to secure the tension.

Step 6 – Secure Radisseur to Last Post

tensioning-wire-step-6

Use a separate piece of wire to secure a radisseur to the last post.

Step 7 – Secure Wire to Radisseur

tensioning-wire-step-7

Cut the first tensioning wire, leaving an extra 10cm of length for adjustment.

 

 

Thread the wire through the hole positioned in the center of the radisseur.

Step 8 – Tension the Wire

tensioning-wire-step-8

Employ pliers to rotate the pin on the radisseur clockwise.

Alternative Option

tensioning-wire-alternative-option

In the absence of a radisseur, twist the wire around the post and wind it around itself 4-5 times as an alternative.

 

Using this method will result in less tension compared to utilizing a radisseur.

Step 9 – Secure to Middle Posts

tensioning-wire-step-9

Fasten the wire to the middle posts using staples, leaving a slight gap to allow for some movement of the wire within the staple.

Step 10 – Repeat Steps 5-9

tensioning-wire-step-10

Secure the remaining wire by repeating steps 5-9:

 

 

  • 5 lines may be needed for lightweight fencing mesh
  • 3 lines should be enough for sturdier fencing mesh

Step 11 – Attach Mesh to End Post

dog-fencing-chain-link-step-5

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 12 – Pull Tight

dog-fencing-chain-link

Pull the mesh tight to stretch it then attach it to the second post with staples or cable ties.

Step 13 – Attach Mesh to Posts

dog-fencing-chain-link

Proceed with securing the remaining section of the mesh by following the process described in step 5.

Step 14 – Secure to Tension Wire

dog-fencing-chain-link-step-7

If tensioning wire has been used, make sure to secure it to the fence at various points to maintain the tension of the fence.

Additional Step to Prevent Digging

dog-fencing-chain-link-prevent-digging-n

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.
