Tenax Ranch Fence Installation Guide: Quick Set Up for Farms and Home Gardens
Tenax Ranch Fence is plastic mesh fencing made of strong bi-oriented plastic, meaning it has flat, light threads molecularly oriented in both directions to offer high tensile strength. It is used for permanent fencing around gardens, large green areas, sports facilities, and small pet enclosures. The advantages of Tenax Ranch fencing are that it is lightweight, rust-resistant, UV treated, long-lasting, and easy to install.
Installation Overview
Tenax Ranch Installation Guide
Step 1: Outline the Perimeter
Place posts at the corners of the perimeter. Place additional posts along the imaginary perimeter about 16 inches from the corner post in both directions. Stretch a guide wire around the corner posts to the external posts. This will serve as a guide for when these posts are removed and the corner post is replaced.
Step 2: Mark Post Positions
Remove the corner posts and begin marking where the T-posts and arrow bracing posts will be placed.
Step 3: Install Posts
The metal posts should be placed about 6 feet from each other and can be placed directly into the ground or positioned in cement. For placement into the ground, make holes roughly 20 inches deep, place the post in the ground, and pack the dug earth around it for stability. For cement placement, dig or drill holes roughly 1 foot deep and 1 foot in diameter, place the post all the way down and check that it is perpendicular and oriented appropriately.
Step 4: Install Wires
To strengthen the fence, pull the plastic-coated wire through the post holes and fasten it with the tensioners between each post. Leave the central wire free, allowing it to move to match the mesh pitch.
Step 5: Install Mesh
Unroll the mesh along the posts and temporarily fasten it to the posts.
Step 6: Fasten Mesh
Fasten the mesh to the wires and posts using the plastic-coated extra wire or plastic ties. Pull the mesh as you go to align with the posts and check that the wires have tension.
