Troubleshooting
Mesh is difficult to cut.
Ensure you are using sharp, heavy-duty wire cutters or tin snips designed for metal. For thicker sections, multiple cuts may be necessary.
Sharp edges after cutting.
Wear thick work gloves during installation. If possible, fold or bury the cut edges to minimize exposure and potential hazards.
Mesh is sagging or not holding its shape.
Ensure the mesh is adequately supported by posts or a frame. Use tensioning tools or additional stakes to keep the mesh taut.
Rust spots appearing prematurely.
While galvanized, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments or constant moisture can eventually affect the coating. Ensure proper drainage around the installation and clean off any debris that might trap moisture.
