To attach mesh to a brick wall, first clean the surface. Use masonry screws or anchors to secure the mesh. Drill holes through the mesh into the wall, insert anchors, and then drive the screws through the mesh into the anchors. Ensure the mesh is tensioned and flat against the wall before fully tightening the screws. Use a corrosion-resistant material like stainless steel mesh for durability. For large areas, work in sections to maintain alignment and tension.
