How do you attach mesh to a gate?

Also, how do you attach wire mesh?

Hold the wire mesh in place, or have a friend hold it for you, and then press an industrial staple gun -- with staples slightly smaller than the depth of your frame -- onto the top corner of the mesh. Pull the trigger and insert a staple into the top left corner, and then the top right corner.

Furthermore, how do you fix a mesh wire in a fence? Open the tabs on a T-post one at a time from the bottom to the top of the post. Insert the wire mesh into the bottom tab and squeeze it shut with pliers. Continue attaching the wire mesh from the bottom to the top of each pole. Attach the wire mesh around the garden to all posts in the same manner.
