Straightening Rolled Welded Wire Mesh
 
Has anyone found a good way to straighten wire mesh solo?
The grass isn't thick enough to just walk on it and have it bend the
other way. Maybe a big rubber mallet? End of a 2X4?

I've looked on the Internet and can't seem to find anything, somebody
must have found a way to do this without crawling on one's hands and
knees bending it back by hand.

Yes I know I should have bought flat wire to begin with, but I'm
trying not to run out of money.

Quarter inch rod with a hook on one end and a tee handle on the other ? At
least that might let you do it standing up ...

Roll it up in reverse direction. The radius will have to be determined
by experiment.
