Even the best metal fences can stand to have upgrades on them. One of those upgrades is wire mesh paneling. However, most homeowners and business owners will have no idea what this is. So here is a guide explaining what the paneling is and how you can use it.
The Gauge
The size of the gauge is determined by how strong you want the wire mesh paneling to be. Previously-manufactured rolls of wire are flattened out and repurposed for something else they can accomplish once they have been produced. One of the best reasons to use this mesh paneling, as opposed to a chain-link fence, is because the panels can be cut to order and sized correctly based on customer demand, and not rely on whatever sizes of chain link are available.
The Difference Between Panels and Rolls
Of the two types of mesh, panels are easier to install. If the reason why you want to use the mesh is to help make your home’s deck a little safer, then this is the one for you. Although they are relatively easy to install, if you feel unsure about how to do it, then you can have a fencing professional oversee the installation for you.
The rolls are different. They will need a crew to come out and install them for you, no matter where you live or work. It is just beyond the capabilities of anyone who doesn’t have the knowledge or expertise to do it right. They are much larger and depend on additional equipment such as posts, rings, pliers, and other tools.
Ideas for Installing
When a fence starts to sag, that means something is wrong with the tension of it. A sagging fence allows animals to escape or intruders to come in unimpeded, both of which are situations you want to avoid whenever possible. Strand wire can improve the tension. However, deciding whether or not to use this will probably call for an expert opinion, since the different gauges and size of wire mesh openings can make the process more complicated. Either way, galvanized staples will be your best friend.
T-posts and U-posts, both made of steel, are another set of possibilities. They need to be a certain height and length to be the most useful, though. Regular posts will eventually collapse.
