How do I fix it?
>>
>>2985889
Is it a new roll? Take that shit back and get a refund...
>>
>>2985890
I called and they refunded but they didn't want it back
>>
>>2985889
Safety wire pliers ans a roll of wire
Unless it's super fucked then dont waste your time and just scrap it
>>
>>2985889
Zip ties, obviously.
>>
>>2985909
It's too thin for that and they would just slip
>>
Regardless of whatever method you came up with to do it, re-securing the intersections on a whole roll of chicken wire would be super tedious. There's really no fix for which the value of the time it takes to do it would justify doing that instead of just getting a new roll.
>>
>>2985910
How fucked is it? Just a couple spots or is the whole thing just bailing wire? If it's just a couple spots, take it to a machine shop an have them spot weld them.

JB Weld

>>2985912
3 or 4 spots but where it's fucked it's fucked a lot
>>
>>2985913
Too expensive
>>
>>2985917
This anon gave you the answer already
>>2985904

Twist some wire around the bad joints, like what kind of magic solution are you looking for?
>>
>>2985889
Soldering
>>
>>2985926
Soldering is not structural.
>>
>>2985926
I have a gas torch for plumbing can I do it with that?
>>
>>2985927
good solder is more structurally sane than a bad weld.
>>
>>2985927
Braze it

Brazing will suck bad due to it being galvanized, but is possible and probably one of the better fixes as long as there aren't too many bad joints...

If it has a lot of bad joints cut out the bad sections and salvage the good stuff, or save it for when you are going to pour some concrete and use it as reinforcing mesh in concrete...
>>
>>2985917
I'd just scrap it or maybe use it for a shaker box or something. If it's fucked in one spot, it's probably barely holding on in the rest. Once you stretch it, it'll probably come apart like an old sweater.
>>
>>2985940
Yah your probably right
What should I get to replace it?
I'm trying to protect a part of the property with new trees from goats.
>>
>>2985957
Good quality fencing. It was just a bad roll, anon. It happens.
>>
>>2985939
Was just trolling with saying brazing. OP is an idiot cause he said it was like 4 spots and they already gave him a refund but a zip tie would be too time consuming. A small bit of bailing wire on those minimal joints is the answer or disgard the bad sections
>>
>>2985889
it might be better to just use the unfucked parts for something else. sieves are handy, and its just wire with extra steps. rotary sieve to separate bigger rocks from dirt, dry out the dirt, crush it up, then use 2 cyclone separators to, well, separate it into clay and sand. construction companies are always in the market for cheap sand and don't ask too many questions about how you got it. plenty of other things to do with it too.

others mentioned baling wire but actually even something like jute twine would probably work just fine and be easier. for alternative fences you could go the tried and true route of wood or barbed wire. or if you have any old appliances/vehicles you could sacrifice them for sheet material and use that.

>>2985957
might be more economical to protect the individual trees than fence off an entire area.
>>
Weld it, fluxcore or stick
>>
tie wire the bad sections
>>
depends how far from society you are but a spot welder or a solder iron might let you remelt certain ends but if its entirely falling apart just toss it sadly
