  Morning, you could use weldmesh or stock fencing, but you have mentioned that the existing post only has a hole at the top, which wont be much good, as depending on the height they would at least need line wire to the top and bottom of the post and then ring clip the weldmesh/stock fence to the line wire.

  Nor recommended, but you can just loop a piece of wire through the holes and tie onto mesh, but it may not hold if dogs are jumping up at it. (But it would work.)

  If you need any further details please do not hesitate to contact me.

  Alternatively, you can view all our stock fencing, products and fixings via www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk

  Kind regards

  Many thanks for getting back to me. I would normally want to be tensioning the fencing and doing it all the correct way but the clients are only on a short term lease and their dog doesn't jump so there's no worries on pushing against the fencing. They really want to keep the costs down and the garden is nearly 200'

  Your more than welcome! If its to keep the costs down then I would suggest the wire through the hole and tie to mesh - If you need me to quote on anything, just let me know at least you can give them two options

  Speak soon

  Many thanks - just a quick question. I've seen chain link fencing which is a green coated diamond pattern and it comes with a roll of wire. Does this wire have to be threaded through along the top or can it just be used to tie in the fencing to the posts? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I'm more au fait with wooden fencing!

  Thank you for all your advice

  Hi - Yes it does have to be threaded through the post holes and ideally tensioned at the ends/corner and then the chainlink is ring clipped to the wire.

  Just tying the chainlink direct to the posts is not ideal, as it will drop as there is nothing to hold it up in the centre.

  Hope that made sense ;-)

  Regards

  You could also use ty wraps to fix to posts make sure they are long enough to go round post though !

  Many thanks - I was thinking about the tension. I will definitely look into straining. I really appreciate your input

  Simplest way i'd have thought would be panel the concrete posts with timber at least every other, use sheep/stock wire and tension using wire strainers, tack in wire every other post with u tacks and other posts could be wired in, just an idea
