Installation Notes

Hardware cloth is typically cut and installed by contractors, landscapers, or experienced DIYers using aviation snips or wire cutters rated for the gauge. Always wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting or bending wire mesh. Secure edges with staples, screws, or U-clips to the substrate before tensioning the material. Dispose of cut wire ends promptly to prevent injury on the job site.
