**A Few Guidelines for Installing your Wire Fence**

**First: Decisions**<https://www.louispage.com/fences/vinyl-coated-woven-wire-fence>

1. Determine the kind of fence you will need, based on the requirements of the application - the purposes and needs of your particular situation.
2. Establish where the corners and ends of the fence are to be located.                                                                     
3. Calculate the amount of fence and posts (end, corner and line posts) needed for the job. Don't forget to add any gates that are required to complete the project.

**Next: Installation**

1. Fence posts
2. Attaching fence to posts                                                                                                                                   
3. Stretching the fence - the appropriate amount of tension depends on which mesh is used. Woven wire fencing, especially high-tension field and deer fences, requires a lot more tension than welded wire fences.
