In addition to being strong and durable, welded wire fencing is also easy to install. The rolls of fencing are lightweight and easy to handle, making them easy to transport to the installation site and maneuver into place. Once in position, the fencing can be easily secured to wooden or metal posts using staples, nails, or wire ties. This means that even those with limited DIY experience can successfully install welded wire fencing on their own.

Enter wire feed welding, a versatile and user-friendly welding process that utilizes a continuous wire electrode to create welds. While wire feed welders are commonly used for steel and other metals, welding cast iron with this equipment has historically been considered challenging due to the material's unique properties.

The 1x8x7 configuration of stainless steel cable refers to the number of strands and wires within the cable. In this case, the cable consists of one central strand surrounded by eight outer strands, with each strand containing seven individual wires. This design provides the cable with flexibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.

The foundation of a durable wire mesh fence lies in its fence posts. Begin by digging holes for the fence posts using a post hole digger, ensuring a depth of at least one-third of the post's length. Space the holes at regular intervals along the fence line, typically 6 to 8 feet apart. Insert the fence posts into the holes, ensuring they are plumb and level. Secure the posts in place by filling the holes with concrete and allowing it to set.
