Gradually turn the pliers in such a way that it causes the wire to pull towards the pliers and therefore tension the wire.The wire cutter can be inserted in between the two wires with the handle inserted between the two wires.
Wire is to be wrapped around one corner post and pulled and wrapped around the other corner post leaving an extra 300mm for tensioning.When installing treated posts (wooden) use a saw to cut the stays so that they fit neatly onto the major posts and ensure that the nails don’t go through the other side of the post.Ensure that you use the level and the builder’s line to make sure that the post is plumb (straight) and is in-line with the fence line.Plant the corner posts first so as to save time as it will allow you to pull the straining wire the next day.20Mpa 2 bags (40kg) sand and 2 bags (40kg) stone and one bag cement (50kg).15Mpa= 4 bags (40kg) sand 4 bags (40kg) stone and one bag of cement (50kg).Pour the sand and stone onto the mixing board and mix it with the cement according to the required ratios.Excavate the posts after you have marked out the holes on the straight line.Insert the iron rods or reinforcing rods at the corner posts in order to mark out a straight line by binding the builder’s line on the corner posts in order to get a straight line for post excavation.Measure the distance between the corner posts and mark out the holes for the intermediate posts (either 4m or 3m spacing between posts).Clear the area where the fence is to run to a width of 500mm.Set out the fence line by marking out the corner posts.Corner posts (wood, steel or concrete)- These are generally thicker poles so 75-100mm thick posts can be used.Small plaster trowel for epoxy if installing concrete poles.Jack hammer (if installing on thick concrete).Power drill (If installing on steel posts).Tools required when installing diamond mesh: The fence apertures can be easily stretched with your bare hands Is more durable than weldmesh due to its expanding nature Works with a variety of poles and goes to a height of 3,6m 12-15-year lifespan if wire is plastic coated The one serious flaw in the diamond mesh which caused a huge dip in demand is that you do not need any wire cutter to open the mesh! You can literally take it apart with your hands and since it expands naughty dogs easily break it apart. Size matters and so in the case of diamond mesh it has survived until now because of its flexibility in manufacturing. The other reason why the diamond mesh is very popular for action sports is that it can be manufactured up until a height of 3,6m whereas the weldmesh can only do 2,4m. This makes it ideal for places where much impact is expected like indoor soccer arenas, tennis courts, cricket nets etc. Where the weldmesh would break at the welds the diamond mesh expands and goes back to its normal shape after impact. The diamond mesh is used in areas where there is sporting activity as it is able to take impact much better due to it’s expanding nature on impact. The diamond mesh fence has a similar lifespan as the weldmesh but the added advantage of plastic coating the wire increases its lifespan to about 12-15 years. There is no welding in this process but the wires are woven together at intervals according to the customer specification. Whereas weldmesh is manufactured by a welding machine the diamond mesh is manufactured on a machine that is more of a sowing machine. It is more appropriately called woven mesh fencing due to the method of fabrication. The heavier meshes are recommended for supporting sculptures using clay or AMACO® Casting Compound.Diamond mesh fencing is the older version of the weldmesh. The woven wires create a structural grid that assumes different textures as it is bent and molded. Because it can stretch into tight contours and shapes, it is ideal for detailed projects and delicate crafts. Its unique raised diamond strands expand to form three-dimensional shapes. The expandable mesh is made from specially manufactured metals that give it incredible flexibility and strength. WireForm® is available in a selection of expandable and woven metal mesh patterns, designed to provide a wide variety of art, craft, and model-making options.
A flat piece of WireForm® easily transforms into three-dimensional shapes by simply molding, crimping, twisting, expanding, and gathering. WireForm is perfect for the many modeling and sculptural design challenges facing artists, crafters, architects, and students. WireForm is a specially manufactured metal mesh that is pliable enough to mold, yet sturdy enough to add structure to clays and modeling materials including AMACO® Sculptamold®.
