One way is to clamp the end of the roll between a pair of galvanized
steel busbars, and then connect to the middle of those bars using SS
hardware. Lengths of galvanized steel bar, ready drilled with holes,
are a standard item in British builders merchants.
Another method would be to use the crossover clamps that I described a
week ago (I have asked the fencing company to provide a web image, and
will re-post the link when it appears).
