FAQs
How do I cut wire mesh?
With wire cutting pliers or bolt cutters to ensure a smooth cut.
What can I cover the edges with?
Sharp edges should be folded up and under the bottom edge of a mesh fence, allowing grass to grow up from beneath. Alternatively, you can cover the bottom edge with timber boards.
When installing agricultural fencing, how far apart should the posts be positioned?
In most cases, 2-3 metres apart.
