Default Fastening The Chicken Wire

On to the next project in finishing my '30 Tudor.

Got the top kit this week. Will be installing the chicken wire since I think I need something to use as a strong base since I am also installing the Quiet Ride insulation on top of the chicken wire.

I thought I read someplace that I can use the air staples to tack the chicken wire down to the wood cross members. The shortest staples I can find for my air gun are 1/2 inch long and 1/4 inch wide. It looks to me that the 1/2 inch long staples seems too long and may split the wood slats.

Would greatly appreciate guidance from someone who has put down chicken wire as to the best way to do it.

Thanks, Mark
