Normally bolt cutters are used and usually are bulker to use for such small gauge. The length is easier on your back too. Just makes it easier for several multiple cuts.

Someone enlighten me :) cl" The reason to cut the mesh is cause it comes in sheets of 5'x10' and when you doing a walkway or any other surface you need to overlap the mesh to tie in properly so if it was a 3' wide walk, you cut 3' long strips. Not to mention curves and such or the mesh rolls which are horrible. This is very use full. Normally bolt cutters are used and usually are bulker to use for such small gauge.
