Lathe screws

[Big Doggie]

I was worried that regular staples on the hardware cloth would eventually rust or loosen. So I went to Home Depot and found screws used for holding metal wire lath usually for stucco jobs. It’s a 3/4” screw with a built in washer that does a great job on permanently securing wire products.
I know there is a stainless steel staple but the lathe screws are a lot cheaper.

There are also 3/4" long galvanized poultry staples that work but obviously not as easily removed if you need to. I don't see me needing to remove the HC I've installed and secured with the poultry staples.

Those should work fine.
Hates staples and nails.
I'd suggest putting the screw into the second hole away from edge.

Of course there’s no need to remove the staples you have. This is just a much stronger and longer lasting alternative to regular staple gun products.

Poultry staples hammer in. Staples shot in with a pneumatic gun do tend to pull out as they are very thin gauge and shorter.
