How is the mesh attached to the fence posts?Updated 9 hours ago

The Freestanding Cat Fence system includes two types of mesh fence material:

• Durable Poly Mesh - this is a flexible, yet strong plastic mesh designed for outdoor use. It has an impact resistance rating of approximately 600 lbs. The poly mesh is installed on the upper part of the Freestanding Fence.
• Heavy-Duty Welded Wire - this is a more rigid, steel wire mesh (with black vinyl-coating) that is installed along the bottom of the Freestanding Fence to create a chew-proof and dig-proof barrier.

The poly mesh is installed first, starting from the "top" of the fence and working down. All fence mesh comes as a roll that you can cut to length as needed. Depending on the size of your kit, you may have multiple rolls of material.

First, roll the material out to the length needed for a single side of the fence. Make sure to add a little extra length past the corners/end posts. 

Then, you will attach the mesh to the tips of the arms along the span so it is hanging from the ends of the arms.

Next, you want to start pushing the material back along the underside (inside) of the arms and securing in place with the included zip ties. You will use Standard zip ties on the arms and Heavy-Duty zip ties on the posts. 

It is generally recommended to start in the center and work back and forth out toward the corners or end posts. This will allow you to get the material taught (but not overly tight) and push any "slack" out to the ends to be trimmed away.

After the poly mesh is installed, the welded wire chew/dig guard can be installed. This is also typically installed on the inside of the fence in an "L" shape to prevent cats and other pets from digging out under the fence (or chewing holes along the bottom of the fence). If desired, it is possible to install this material on the outside of the fence if you are more concerned with outside animals attempting to dig into the enclosure.
