Hi! Apologies if this has been answered before, but apparently I don't know the right search terms if it has!
I'm looking to build a small lockable enclosure to sit on a trailer. (Typical box shape - one side on hinges.)
I've got various sizes of wire mesh ranging from flexible rolls like you would get for a fence to 1/8" welded wire mesh. What I'm struggling with is how to get a nice tight cover. The rigid mesh I could take the galvanization off, and spot weld each prong... but that's pretty excessive. I wouldn't mind using the fence mesh. (It's not high security, just to keep some things in when I'm on a job site.)
Does anyone have any ideas on how to attach it and keep it stretched nice and tight? Especially over the door?
