Mrs W is having a puppy and I am wanting to keep it out of the
neighbours' gardens. The last dog used to go through the hedge and shit
on their grass and it doesn't make for good relations.

I bought a 25m roll of welded plastic coated square mesh fence, 10 1.2 m
steel fence stakes and cut out the lower part of the hedge to tuck the
fence in in a tidy invisible fashion. So far so good. The mesh is not
particularly stiff. I could strengthen the top with a length of wire
tightened up. What about the bottom? I don't want the dog going under
the fence.

Do I need something like tent pegs to hold it down? or like big staples?
do they exist? I haven't found any. A length of 2x1 would work but how
do I secure it to the mesh? Bent nails?
