Sorry if that sounds a bit noddy but what is the best way to fix mesh to mdf? I've heard that staple guns don't do so well on the hardness of mdf. It's basically a 100 x 50cm piece of mdf with slots in and I want to mesh the whole area to make the ventilation slots smaller - it's the lid of a pet cage.
The normal fixing to use in situation would probably be a galvanized staple. The one in the image is a 40mm version which is probably a little big for you but they can be bought in a variety of sizes and should be available in your local DIY store. They can then be hammered in using a hammer. It's important that they don't protrude through the MDF into the area where the pet will be so they don't injure themselves so getting the right size is very important.
Hope this helps
