How do I secure the mesh material to the surface of my fence?Updated 6 months ago

The best way to secure the loose bottom edge of the poly mesh material to the top of your existing fence will depend on the type of fence.

  • WOOD: The easiest way is to staple with a staple gun for wood. Use staples that are a minimum of 3/8” long. 
  • METAL / CHAIN LINK: Zip ties are usually used to secure the mesh material to the metal portion of the fence. Kits come with zip ties but you may want to consider ordering extras for this purpose. If you have a lot of fence line to cover, you may choose to purchase a Hog Ringer tool for this purpose.
  • PVC / VINYL: You have the option of running a strip of wood on the fence along where the mesh material meets the fence and staple to the wood strip. Alternatively, You may also use this product designed to secure the mesh material to a PVC/Vinyl fence.
  • BRICK / BLOCK: Similarly to Vinyl and PVC, you can run a strip of wood on the fence along where the mesh material meets the fence and staple to the wood. Alternatively, You may also use this product designed to secure the mesh material to a PVC/Vinyl fence for Brick and Block as well. Please note, the kit comes with self-tapping screws designed for use with PVC/Vinyl fence, so you may need to purchase masonry screws separately.
