Laying a new concrete garage floor with reinforcement mesh. I will need to join 2 pieces of mesh together, can any one tell me the best way of joining them?
Thanks.

It is usually tied together with steel wire which is twisted together with pliers, the link below shows an example :

As woody says mesh should be lapped together and does not need ties unless its moving around when you pour..

Ditto as Woody & Static says, but I've found it's worth tying them together to prevent any movement especially if you've raised them on chairs or similar. If they fall down while you're pouring it's often a right struggle to get them raised again. It also gives them a degree of stability while you're walking all over it.
Plastic cable ties.
