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. |

At least that might let you do it standing up ... -- Snag '90 Ultra "Strider" '39 WLDD "Popcycle" Buncha cars and a truck |

Straightening Rolled Welded Wire Mesh
Roll it up in reverse direction. The radius will have to be determined
