Troubleshooting

Wire is difficult to cut.

Use heavy-duty wire cutters or bolt cutters designed for metal. Ensure the cutters are sharp.

Fence is not staying upright.

Ensure adequate support posts or stakes are used and are driven firmly into the ground. Consider reinforcing the base with additional stakes or burying the lower edge slightly.

Animals are finding ways to get through or under.

Check for any gaps in the mesh or openings near the ground. Bury the bottom edge of the wire netting at least a few inches into the ground, or secure it with heavy stones or additional stakes.

Rust spots appearing on the wire.

Light surface rust can often be removed with a wire brush. For significant corrosion, consider reinforcing the area or replacing the damaged section. Ensure the galvanised coating remains intact where possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the wire netting carefully, using gloves to protect your hands. Use stakes, posts, or garden staples to secure the netting firmly to the ground or supporting structures. Cut the wire using appropriate wire cutters for custom shapes or lengths. Ensure all edges are smooth after cutting to prevent injury to yourself or animals.

Compatibility: This wire netting is compatible with standard wooden posts, metal stakes, and other fencing materials. It can be used in conjunction with other garden barriers or structures. Ensure the ground is level for optimal fence stability.

Care: Clean the wire netting periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating. Inspect the netting regularly for any signs of rust or damage, particularly at cut edges. Store any unused portion of the roll in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
