Building A Wood Framed Wire Fence

The idea of hog wire can also be used for other fences but with different materials.

Building a wood framed wire fence.

A more refined but still low tech approach as seen here involves long branches laid between parallel sets of thick wooden poles. I used 4 5 screws for each long edge. Tension rod with turnbuckle. Measure from one top corner diagonally down to the bottom corner.

Then i cut a 2 4 to the width of the panel around 3. With a helper unroll enough mesh to reach from end post to end post. Install staples at least every six inches. Tools 1 install the posts and cut top rails.

2 staple mesh to post and top rail. Depending on personal preference you can create a gate on one side to allow easy entry and exit. A fence increases security contains livestock bars entry to scavengers demarcates a piece of land and prevents young children from going outside your property. The first two strategies for building a no sag gate involve the principle of triangulation.

The tension solution uses a rod or a cable and turnbuckle as shown to keep the frame from twisting out of square. Cut a piece of wire mesh using the wire cutters to the exact dimensions of the gate frame. For a sturdier build galvanized steel posts make up the frame with bundles of brush placed vertically between wire to keep its shape. Arrange and weave the thing pieces of wood in squares just like what you may have done to the wire.

Make sure that the fencing is completely level and staple it all the way down to the end. Create a 5 foot tall strong and sturdy fence that uses wooden posts and wire mesh to create a safe area in your yard. 3 staple mesh to post and bottom rail. Flexible twigs can used to create a gorgeous arbor.

Overlap the hog wire about half the 4 width of the 2 4 s. Measure how tall you want the gate and cut 2 more 2x4 inch boards to fit between your top and bottom boards. I pre drilled these pieces on the sides for screwing the finished panels to the 4 4 posts. Install posts and cut the top rails long enough to span three posts.

Place the mesh over the frame and staple the fabric to the wood. Start at a corner post and unroll several feet of welded wire. Begin stapling across the rails pulling it tight as you staple to be sure it lays flat all the way across. Introducing a diagonal to stabilize the square frame.
