Effective Methods for Flattening Rolled Wire Fencing: Tools, Techniques, and Precautions

Flattening a rolled wire fencing is a process that requires care and patience. Different methods can be used depending on the actual situation of the wire mesh fence. Here are some recommended steps and methods:


1. Preparation


1. Check the fence wire roller mesh status:

- Before flattening, check whether the wire mesh has cracks, rust or other damage. If damaged, repair it in time.

- Make sure there are no sharp objects on the wire mesh fence to avoid scratches during the flattening process.


2. Choose a flattening tool:

- Choose a suitable flattening tool according to the size, shape and hardness of the rolled wire fencing. Common tools include heavy objects (such as stones, iron blocks, cement blocks), plate presses, plate rolls, hydraulic clamps, pliers, rubber hammers, etc.


2. Flattening method


1. Heavy object flattening method:

- Suitable for larger wire mesh fences or where the site allows.

- Spread the wire mesh fence on a flat ground, and then place heavy objects such as stones, iron blocks or cement blocks evenly on it.

- Leave it alone for a while to allow the weight to naturally flatten the wire mesh. The length of time depends on the size of the wire mesh and the hardness of the material.

- Pay attention to maintaining the stability of the wire mesh to avoid deformation and distortion.


2. Mechanical flattening method:

- Use a plate press, plate rolling machine or a professional wire mesh flattening machine to flatten it.

- These machines usually use pressure and heat to flatten the wire mesh, which has good results but high costs.

- Pay attention to operating specifications and safety matters when using it to ensure stable operation of the machine.


3. Manual flattening method:

- Suitable for small or local wire mesh fences.

- You can use tools such as pliers and rubber hammers for manual flattening. Clamp the wire mesh with pliers or rubber hammers and knock or press it hard until it is flat.

- Be careful not to use metal tools to directly hit the surface of the wire mesh to avoid scratching or damage.


3. Precautions


1. Keep welded wire fence roll centered:

- During the flattening process, keep the wire mesh fence centered to avoid uneven flattening.


2. Avoid over-flattening:

- Over-flattening the wire mesh will make it brittle and may cause cracks and damage. Therefore, control the force and time when flattening.


3. Regular inspection and maintenance:

- After flattening, the stability and flatness of the wire mesh fence should be checked regularly, and it can be flattened or repaired again if necessary.


4. Safety measures:

- When flattening, wear appropriate safety equipment (such as gloves, helmets, etc.) and comply with relevant safety operating procedures.


In summary, flattening the rolled wire fencing requires choosing appropriate tools and methods according to the actual situation, and paying attention to details and safety matters during the operation.
