How can I cut wire mesh fencing?

How do I flatten wire mesh?

When delivered in rolls you may want to flatten out your mesh before using it. You need to bend the mesh the opposite way it was rolled to straighten it out. It’s also wise to unroll your fencing gradually, staking it down or fastening it to posts as you go, so that it remains taught and as straight as possible.

How do I attach wire mesh to wood?
