How To Stretch Wire Mesh Fence?

1 Space your fence posts no more than 8 feet apart. Dig post holes every 6 to 8 feet down your boundary line. Pour concrete in the holes and insert the Reliable Wire Mesh Fence posts. Use a level to make sure the Anti Corrosion Wire Mesh Fence posts stand straight.

2 Cut two two-by-fours to the height of the Higher Cost Performance Wire Mesh Fence to act as stretchers.
3 Drill round-head bolts every 8 inches along the length of the wire stretchers. Do not tighten them all the way down.

4 Wrap the end links of the Higher Cost Performance Wire Mesh Fence around the bolts on the wire stretchers. Screw the bolts in tightly around the mesh. Make sure to wrap enough wire mesh around the boards so it is secured tightly.
5 Affix one of the wire stretchers to a Reliable Wire Mesh Fence post. Use at least 4-inch carpentry screws to attach the bottom, top and center of the wire stretcher to the outside of the Anti Corrosion Wire Mesh Fence post. If you pull the wire mesh out, it should run perpendicular to the wire stretcher and fence post.

6 Tie a hand-cranked chain pulley tautly to the next Anti Corrosion Wire Mesh Fence post. Affix the chain hook to the center of the non-attached wire stretcher. Crank the Reliable Wire Mesh Fence into the next post. Crank slowly, allowing the wire time to stretch without snapping as it becomes more and more taut.

7 Lock the pulley's crank teeth into place. Screw down the other wire stretcher onto the post. Unlock and detach the hand crank.
