358 Mesh Fencing is designed to meet all your needs, including the use of CCTV cameras, or whether a visual deterrent is a consideration.

Integrated Fencing 358 anti-climb mesh provides the ideal solution for a wide variety of high-security perimeter fencing. 358 security fence systems, with it’s small apertures and welds at each intersection eliminate foot and finger holds, and prevent things from being passed through.

Anti-climb mesh fencing is very effective against the use of conventional hand-cutting tools.  358 mesh fencing panels are perfect for Home Office specifications for use in prison, or any other high-security detention or custodial facilities.

Is 358 Mesh Fencing Systems Right for You?

1. Use

This type of fencing is designed to be a visual and physical deterrent against unauthorised access. It is almost impossible to climb and difficult to cut due to the size of the apertures. At the same time, it offers visibility through the structure. This is important when for example an area outside of the fence needs to be covered by a CCTV system or perhaps night-time mobile security patrols are engaged to monitor a building from outside of the perimeter.

2. Construction

The system consists of panels of mesh fencing made up of resistance welded vertical and horizontal interwoven wires. The wires are usually 4mm in diameter so they form a strong and cohesive panel that does not impact visually on the environment.

The standard aperture size is 12.7×76.2mm. This is a well-thought-out sizing because it gives the fence high-security, anti-climb properties. It is virtually impossible to get toe or finger holds on the fence for climbing which makes using tools to cut it much more difficult. It also makes it difficult to pass items through the fence.

The height of the fencing panels can be varied according to the intended purpose. It is not unusual to install the system to a height of up to 5.20 metres. A reasonably standard height used in many educational and sporting environments is is 3.60m

The system can be customised through the application of a range of different colours on the RAL colour scale. Corporate branding colours can be accommodated, or the fence can be blended with existing installations

3. Mounting

Wherever possible we use square posts set in a concrete foundation. The dimensions of the post will vary according to the height required and the purpose of the fence. We might also bury the bottom section of the fence panels in concrete to prevent burrowing under the fence.

Fence panels are mounted on the posts by overlapping and clamping. We use anti-tamper fixings as standard.

We like to start projects with a free site survey where we work with the customer to get these details right before the design and manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

The numbers 358 refer to the aperture and gauge of the wire in the old imperial measurement. All together that gets you 358, and tough, versatile cut & climb resistant mesh that creates a smart physical barrier without affecting the line of sight.

358 mesh fencing is designed to be extremely difficult to climb. The mesh is so tight that fingers can’t get through it to gain any kind of purchase. This means that you simply can’t get the grip that is needed to climb up these panels.

No, it is virtually impossible to climb a 358-mesh fence. These fences are reinforced to prevent cutting or falling over. You can reinforce your fence with a concrete base or rebar from below to prevent tunnelling.

Any fence can be cut. 358 combines a mesh that discourages cutting and climbing with a framework that can support a total security platform. There is an issue with space, there’s not a lot of it so it’s harder to get wire cutters in between. There is the wire itself, which is very thick. Cutting it would take a while and it would make a lot of noise.  So, even though it can be cut, it’d be easy to get caught doing so. It most definitely can’t be cut with hand tools.

About 9.6 kilograms per square meter of panel. That’s over 21lbs. The structure of the fence needs to be designed to carry a lot of weight.

It did not go unnoticed that you were put in a very difficult predicament by the failings of our ground works contractor but despite this, you and your team stuck at it working late nights and weekends to help us achieve the completion date. It’s very rare to see a Managing Director rolling his sleeves up to help his team out but you did this on numerous occasions in atrocious weather conditions and on weekends and for this we cannot thank you enough.

This leads me on to your site team who worked extremely close with our site team for the duration of the project and despite the extreme weather and ground conditions they simply got on with it. They’re attitude and willingness to complete the job in hand is fantastic, this together with the standard of work produced all makes for a winning team.

I have worked with numerous quality men over the last 30 years, and this has to be up there as one of the best. Please pass on our thanks to your team. Thanks again for your efforts on the project and we wish you every success in the future and hope your business grows. It has been a pleasure working with you on YGGT and we look forward to the prospect of working with you in the near future.
