Troubleshooting

Wire is difficult to cut.

Use heavy-duty wire cutters. Ensure the cutters are sharp and in good condition.

Wire is not staying in place.

Use appropriate fasteners (staples, wire ties) and ensure they are securely attached to the frame. Space fasteners closely, particularly in areas under tension.

Apply a rust-resistant coating or consider replacing the affected sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Gather your tools: wire cutters, gloves, safety glasses, and any necessary posts or frames.
  2. Cutting: Measure and cut the chicken wire to the desired dimensions, being careful to avoid sharp edges.
  3. Installation: Attach the wire to your frame or posts using staples, wire ties, or other appropriate fasteners. Ensure the wire is taut and securely fixed.

Compatibility

The wire's size is also suitable for a variety of animals, but the size of the holes should be considered if small animals are to be contained.
