Before beginning the installation, it's essential to determine the area where the 358 diamond mesh fence will be installed. Use a measuring tape to measure the perimeter of the fence and mark the corners with stakes. This helps to visualize the layout and ensures accurate spacing for the posts.
Decide on the spacing for the fence posts, typically around 8 to 10 feet apart. Use a post hole digger to dig holes for the posts at least 2 to 3 feet deep. If using concrete posts, ensure the holes are wide enough to accommodate the posts. Place the posts in the holes and ensure they are level using a spirit level. If using concrete, mix it according to package instructions and pour it into the holes around the posts for stability.
Once the posts are set, attach post brackets to the top of each post using a drill and appropriate fasteners. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened as they will support the fence panels. Double-check that each bracket is positioned straight and level.
With the posts and brackets in place, it's time to unroll the 358 diamond mesh fencing. Lay the mesh on the ground and measure the length needed to cover the distance between the posts. Use wire cutters to cut the mesh to the required length. Make sure to wear safety gloves during this step to protect your hands from sharp edges.
Start at one end of the fence, lifting the diamond mesh up to the brackets. Use the fasteners to attach the mesh securely to the post brackets. It's important to stretch the mesh tight to avoid sagging while ensuring it follows the contours of the posts. Continue this process along the entire length of the fence, fastening the mesh as you go.
After all panels are installed, do a thorough walk around the fence to inspect the installation. Check that all fasteners are tight, and the mesh is evenly secured to the posts. Adjust any areas as necessary to ensure everything is aligned correctly. If required, trim any excess mesh for a clean finish.
Regular inspections should be conducted to ensure that the fence remains secure and intact. Look for any signs of wear, rust, or loose fasteners. Clean the fence periodically to remove debris and strengthen its durability. Proper maintenance will prolong the life of your 358 diamond mesh fence.
