| To Do | Explanation |
|
Step 1 – Measure the Area & Plan Installation
|
Measure the length and height of the installation area using a tape measure, also considering the mesh buried in the 30cm trench (in depth and width). This will help you determine how much wire mesh you will need. |
|
Step 2 – Dig a Trench
|
Dig a trench along your fence line This depth is necessary as rodents are skilled diggers and can easily burrow under shallow barriers. |
|
Step 3 – Cut Down Mesh (if applicable)
|
Use wire cutters to cut the mesh to the desired size along the measured line, ensuring adequate overlap at corners and edges for a secure fit. |
|
Step 4 – Secure the Mesh
|
Prevent rodents from burrowing under the fence by sinking the mesh into the trench and bending it outward at a 90-degree angle. Use staples spaced no more than 15cm apart and hammer them into the bottom of the fence. Secure the mesh to the ground with pegs. Ensure the mesh is taut and free from wrinkles or folds. |
|
Step 5 – Finish Fence Run
|
Repeat step 4 until you finish the fence run. |
|
Step 6 – Cover Trench
|
Use the soil you dug up previously to cover the trench with the mesh inside. |
|
Step 7 – Checking the Installation & Maintenance
|
After completing the installation, conduct a thorough inspection to ensure there are no gaps or openings for rodents to enter. Tighten and secure the wire mesh with additional staples or cable ties if necessary. Regularly inspect the fence for any damage or signs of wear, and promptly repair or replace any damaged sections as needed. |
