How to Attach Cane Cladding to a Fence

Thin Cane Cladding

• 1

  Unroll 1 foot of cane cladding. Line the end of the cane cladding with the end of your fence. The cladding should be on the inside of the fence.

• 2

  Staple the top and bottom of the cane cladding. Staple every 2 inches along that end.

• 3

  Unroll the cane cladding, stapling every 2 inches along the top and bottom. Continue until you reach a fencepost. Staple through the cane cladding 2 inches along the fence post.

• 4

  Continue until you reach the end of the fence or the end of the cane cladding. Continue with the next roll of cladding until you’ve finished with the fence. Use scissors to trim the cladding if necessary.

Cane Wall Cladding

• 5

  Lay the cane cladding against the fence. Line the edges of the cladding up with the end of the fence.

• 6

  Locate the horizontal supports on the fence behind the cane cladding. Most wood or metal fences have horizontal beams that support the vertical posts. These horizontal supports will also provide the support for your cladding. You will be wrapping wire through the cane cladding and around a post above the horizontal support. The support will help support the cladding and hold it to the fence.

• 7

  Press a wire through the cane cladding to the other side of the fence. Wrap the wire around a fence post and back through the back of the fence so that both ends of the wire are on the front of the cane cladding. The wire should also be above a horizontal support.

• 8

  Twist the wires together with a pair of pliers. Twist until the wire is very tight. This will help hold the cladding to the fence so that it doesn't tip off the fence and fall.

• 9

  Cut off excess wire with wire cutters and hammer the twist so that it rotates behind the cladding. This will conceal the twisted wire.

• 10

  Repeat the process above the other horizontal support directly below your first twisted wire. Some fences have two horizontal supports, but yours may not. Skip this step if you only have one support.

• 11

  Repeat the entire process every 6 inches along the fence until you reach the end of the fence. Cut off the extra cladding with a pair of wire cutters.
