You'll need 12-inch UV-resistant zip ties rated to 40 lb, or 16-gauge tie wire, plus snips and gloves. The 12-inch length matters — it's what lets you wrap two full fence squares.

Every tie wraps two full squares, never a single strand. A tie on one strand puts all the tension in one spot and the mesh tears there. Two squares — three wire strands — spreads the load across the weave.

Unroll the mesh printed side up with the top edge closest to the fence. Anchor the top-left corner, then work down the left edge with ties every 24 inches. Move left to right along the top, come back along the bottom, and finish the right edge. Pull taut and trim flush.

Space ties 24 inches in both the horizontal and vertical direction. On windy sites, add ties through the panel face and tighten spacing to 12–18 inches. Every 5 feet, place two zip ties in the center of the mesh.
