Installation Instructions

 

  • With T Posts

  • With Wooden Posts

To Do Explanation

Step 1 – Indicate the Location

T post step 1 - mark area

 

Create a straight line to mark the fence’s path between the two end posts.

Step 2 – Measure Post Distance

T post step 2 - welded wire

 

Specify the positions of the posts, ensuring a spacing of 2-3 meters between each one.

To improve stability, reduce the distance between your fence posts.

 

 

 

Step 3 – Install End Posts

T post step 3 - end posts

 

Use a post driver or mallet to sink the end posts 50cm into the ground, ensuring they are aligned in the same direction.

Step 4 – Check for Same Height

T post step 4 - same height

 

Attach a string between the end posts and verify the height of their installation using a tape measure.

Step 5 – Check for Straightness

T post step 5 - straightness

 

Confirm the vertical alignment of the posts by using a spirit level to ensure they are straight.

Step 6 – Set in Concrete (Optional)

T post step 6 - concrete

 

To enhance the fence’s strength and stability, reinforce it by setting the posts in concrete. Dig a 50cm hole and pour cement for a robust foundation.

Step 7 – Install Middle Posts

T post step 7 - middle posts

 

To install the middle posts, follow steps 3 through 6 again.

Ensure consistency by aligning the posts in the same direction and installing them uprightly.

Consider reinforcing the middle posts with concrete for additional strength.

Step 8 – Secure Mesh to End Post

Start at the end post and attach the mesh to it using cable ties. Thread the ties through the pre-drilled holes in the post, and you can add extra ties to encircle the entire post for increased security.

Step 9 – Secure Mesh to Remaining Posts

FAQs

How can I join two pieces of stainless steel mesh together?

You can use line wire and thread it between two overlapped sections or connect them with cable ties or hog rings.

Will rodents or birds be able to chew or claw through the mesh?

No, the material is too strong, making it adequate for protection against rodents, as well as building animal cages and enclosures. 

Is the material suitable for use in the healthcare or food industry? 

Yes, it’s made of grade 304 stainless alloy, also known as inox, providing a high corrosion resistance as well as strength and hygiene properties.
