How should the wire mesh be secured?

• A. Secured to concrete every 5 feet
• B. Secured to rock every 3 feet
• C. Secured with plastic ties
• D. Not required to secure

Answer: (B)

Securing wire mesh at regular, close intervals to a solid anchor point is essential to keep a barrier taut and stable in outdoor conditions. Securing the mesh to rock every three feet provides consistent support against wind, vibration, and accidental contact, preventing sagging or shifting that could create gaps or hazards. If you tried to anchor to a concrete surface at wider intervals, or relied on flexible fasteners like plastic ties, or left it unsecured, the mesh would be more prone to movement, wear, and failure over time. Not securing it at all would fail safety and durability expectations.
