How Long Does it Take to Install Netting?

Depending on what the type of Tenax fence mesh you're using, you can set up as quickly as an hour or take a little longer. The kind of mesh you select will impact the duration of the project, whether you're constructing a garden enclosure, securing pets, demarcating a construction site, or safeguarding turf. Taller or tensioned fencing for deer or livestock may take several hours to set up as there are multiple steps involved and may require some light digging, whereas lighter rolls for gardens or temporary barriers can be completed in less than an hour. The setup time can be affected by the location of the posts, the state of the ground, and whether or not you use buried edging or a gate. Here are a few typical mesh fencing project types, along with approximate completion dates and easy-to-follow instructions to help you organize your next project effectively!

Garden Bed Netting
