Power driven staples aren't permitted on:

• A. Wire mesh
• B. Wooden posts
• C. Wooden gates
• D. Wooden rails

Answer: (A)

When securing a wire mesh fence, you need fasteners that preserve the mesh’s integrity and allow it to stay taut. Power-driven staples can pierce, crush, or distort the mesh, creating weak spots, sag, or gaps and making it hard to maintain a uniform, secure barrier. The proper method is to use fasteners that grip the mesh without puncturing it, such as hog rings, wire ties, or U-nails, applied around wooden posts or rails to hold the mesh in place. Wood components like posts, gates, and rails are intended to bear these types of fasteners, while the mesh itself should be fastened with mesh-friendly hardware to avoid damage.
