Setup Instructions
- Plan Your Layout: Determine the area where you intend to install the temporary fence. Measure the perimeter to ensure you have sufficient fence length.
- Mark Post Locations: Mark the positions for your steel posts. For optimal stability, space posts approximately 3 to 4 feet apart. Consider wetting the ground slightly to make post insertion easier.
- Insert Posts: Insert the sharp end of each steel post into the ground, ensuring it is at least 3 inches deep for stability. The posts are 47 inches high, and the fence is 40 inches high, allowing for proper ground insertion without needing to cut the fence height.
- Attach Fence Mesh: Unroll the plastic netting mesh along your marked perimeter. Align the fence with the inserted posts.
- Secure with Zip Ties: Use the provided zip ties to attach the fence mesh to each post. Secure the fence every 3.5 feet along the post to prevent sagging and ensure a taut barrier.
- Adjust Length: If the fence roll is longer than required, household scissors can be used to cut the mesh to the appropriate custom fit.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fence sagging or collapsing | Insufficient post depth; posts spaced too far apart; strong winds; soft soil. | Ensure posts are inserted at least 3 inches deep into firm ground. Reduce spacing between posts to 3 feet. Add additional posts or reinforce existing ones in areas prone to high wind or soft soil. Ensure zip ties are securely fastened and taut. |
| Animals breaching the fence | Fence not tall enough; gaps at the bottom; determined animals. | Ensure the fence height is adequate for the animals you are deterring. Bury the bottom edge of the fence slightly or secure it to the ground with additional stakes (not included) to prevent animals from going underneath. |
| Difficulty inserting posts | Hard or dry soil. | Water the ground in the intended post locations a few hours before installation to soften the soil. |
