Hog Rings

The most common methods of joining our mesh together is using hog rings. This is a quick and easy method of joining, however it is important to ensure that the hog rings are made of stainless steel, as galvanised hog rings will corrode and break.

You should also ensure that you fold over the edges of the mesh before joining to prevent the mesh from unravelling. To see a short tutorial for this method you can watch our YouTube video.

Twizzing

Twizzing is a method of joining two pieces of knitted wire mesh together. The method involves using a crochet style hook to grab wire from either side and twist them together.

It is important to make sure you twist for 3 full rotations, as 2 could cause the wires to come undone and 4 could cause the wires to snap.

It is important to ensure that you do not twiz the raw edge of the mesh otherwise this could cause the mesh to unravel.

Stitching

An alternative method of joining 2 pieces of mesh is to stitch them together using wire, which we can supply to you at an added cost.

We recommend using stainless steel as this is resistant to corrosion and conforms to the long lasting quality of the mesh.

This method involves lining up the edges of both pieces of mesh and using a 'dog stitch' to thread wire through the stitches and create a join.

Non-joining

If you would like to avoid having to join the mesh together entirely, then you should consider.



This is a great way to produce a seamless joint without obstructing too much of the view into the enclosure.
