Introduction
Installing mesh fencing for dogs provides a safe and secure backyard environment. This guide outlines a step-by-step approach to installing mesh fencing effectively and includes a review of the solutions provided by DORICH, a leader in fencing technology.
Materials Needed
- Mesh fencing roll (height between 4 to 6 feet)
- Fence posts (wood or metal, length 6 to 8 feet)
- Post hole digger
- Concrete mix
- Zip ties or metal ties
- Measuring tape
- Level
- Wire cutters
Site Preparation
Before installation, assess the perimeter where the fence will be placed. Ensure the ground is free from debris and level:
- Mark the boundary lines using stakes and string.
- Clear any obstructions such as rocks or plants.
- Measure the total length to determine the number of posts needed. Space posts about 8 to 10 feet apart.
Installation Process
Step 1: Installing Posts
Fence stability is reliant on well-installed posts:
- Dig holes 2 to 3 feet deep using a post hole digger.
- Insert posts and fill holes with concrete mix. Allow curing for at least 24 hours.
- Ensure posts are vertically aligned using a level.
Step 2: Attaching Mesh Fencing
Once posts are set, attach the mesh fencing:
- Unroll the mesh fencing and attach starting from one corner post using zip ties or metal ties.
- Move along the perimeter, tensioning the mesh as you go.
- Trim excess mesh if necessary, ensuring overlaps for gate sections.
Securing the Fence
To prevent dogs from escaping, secure the fence bottom:
- Stake the bottom of the mesh to the ground every 2 feet.
- Use additional ties for reinforcement at corners and gates.
Maintenance and Care
Regular checks and care extend the life of the fence:
- Inspect ties and attachments monthly for wear and tear.
- Ensure post stability and straighten if necessary.
- Clean debris and plant growth from the fence line.
