How Do You Attach Hardware Cloth To A Metal Fence?
Hardware cloth (also known as chicken wire) is a welded, galvanized roll of wire fencing with small openings intended to keep predators away from your pets and livestock. Hardware cloth can be attached to trees, wood fences, or even existing metal fences. In order to attach hardware cloth to your metal fence you will need hand tools and a few inexpensive supplies. Dig a trench 6 inches deep along the outside edge of the fence. Pile the dirt removed beside of the trench and discard the turf excavated from the trench. Unroll the hardware cloth next to the trench. Place the points of the end of the wire into the ground and unroll from under the roll of fencing. Bend the curve of the wire so it lays flat on the ground. Stand the hardware cloth up in the trench. Press the wire against the fence and attach the two with zip ties. Wrap a zip tie around the hardware cloth and the existing fence, slide the pointed end of the tie into the retaining end, pull the pointed end to tighten the bond. P
