Preventing Wire Mesh from Rising between Fence Posts
Fences which inclose pastures for hogs, or other smaller animals, are usually stretched to give rigidity and strength. Often the adjustment of the wire, after being put into place, causes it to rise from the ground between the fence posts, permitting the animals to escape. An effective method of holding the wire close to the ground is shown in the sketch. A peg, notched near its upper end, is driven into the ground so that the lower edge of the wire mesh is held fast in the notch.—Contributed by O. B. Laurent, New Roads, La.
