Anti-Climb Cut Powder Coated 358 High Security Prison Fence

Product Description

358 Security Prison Mesh Fence system (Also known as prison mesh or 358 mesh) is dominantly used in fencing systems designed to bring maximum perimeter protection to a site without impeding visibility (which is important for human patrolling or video surveillance). This style of mesh has been universally accepted as the most secure form of welded mesh panel commercially available with significant inherent advantages over products such as chain link fencing or other forms of welded mesh fencing owing to its unique configuration.

The mesh panel is made in galvanized steel wire (and can then be optionally polyester powder and/or Epoxy coated) in an aperture configuration of 76.2 mm vertical wire (also called line wire) pitch by 12.7 mm horizontal wire (also called cross wire) pitch. This means a clear opening between horizontal wires of less than 9 mm – inadequate to insert hand tools for cutting the mesh. The vertical wires of the mesh further restrict the opening available forming small rectangles throughout the panel. The mesh is therefore extremely difficult to penetrate using conventional hand tools and thus gives a delay time under attack several times greater than traditional fencing products such as chain link mesh.

The closeness of the horizontal wires also makes for a mesh panel almost impossible to grip, thus climb, when used as part of a fencing system, and thus the name “Anti-climb”. The mesh apertures are finger/toe proof and the closeness of the horizontal wires gives excellent visibility through the mesh both from head-on and angled directions. The welded mesh panels have a non-aggressive appearance with pleasant aesthetics further adding to their pre-eminence over other wire fencing panels. Finally unlike chain link fencing the welded mesh will not unravel or lose stability if cut – every intersection of every wire is individually welded throughout the mesh panel.

Why is it called 358 High Security Prison Fence?
'358' comes from its measurements 3" x 0.5" x 8 gauges which equates to approx. 76.2mm x 12.7mm x 4mm (Length x height x Diameter) in metric.358 High Security Prison Fence are extremely difficult to penetrate, with the small mesh aperture being effectively finger proof, and extremely difficult to attack using conventional hand tools. 358 High Security Prison Fence are recognized as one of the most difficult breakthrough barriers, because it is difficult to climb. It is called security fencing and high- strength fencing. 358 security fencing panel can be bent in part to enhance the aesthetic effect.

While358 High Security Prison Fence has many of the attributes of 358 Security Fencing and its main strength is it's lighter. Using 3mm wire instead of 4mm allows even better visibility allowing a wider variety of applications. It’s lighter and cheaper so it's ideal for commercial applications.

Features: Anti-climb: More small openings, no toe or finger holds.
Anti-cut:robust wire and welded joints make cutting very difficult.
High-strength: The superior welding technique and process control create a stronger fusion between the wires.

Finish treatment:
There are two treatment types: hot dipped galvanized and plastic coated.
The colors of plastic coated are mainly green and black. Each color is available according to your require.

7. Shipping Port Security fencing
8. Electrical sub-station fencing
9. Gas pipelines Security Fence

358 mesh (also known as "prison mesh") has a 76.2x12.5mm mesh size, making it very hard to get a finger or toe hold. It can very from 1.8m to as high as 6m and can be galvanised and powder-coated. It is now often used as a school or bollege boundary fence as shown below.

358 crimped mesh 2.1m high

This fence was erected at Uckfield Community College, East Sussex, around the entirety of their playing fields. Secure lockable gates were also installed with the fencing.

358 mesh for Industrial

This 3.6m high security mesh was erected at a secure industrial unit in Weybridge, Surrey

Anti-climb, powder-coated mesh fence & gate

This 4m high anti-climb fence was erected at a mental secure unit in Bexhill, East Sussex. This fence was erected with a concrete sill and the bottom of the mesh buried in the silly. This particular installation had a sequence locking system allowing patients to access selected areas and certain "airlock" gates were one-way only.

358 mesh sliding gates

This floor to ceiling security fence and gates were erected for a utility company in an underground storage facility.

358 Security Prison Mesh gets its name from its compostion: 3 inch by 1/2 inch by 8 gauge mesh (75 x 12.5 x 4 mm metric). Its dense mesh structure is ideal for rebound sports or those where there is a high amount of ball impact. Typically the 358 mesh is used on the lower 1.2 metres of fenc eheight and is surmounted by less dense 50 x 50 weldmesh. The 358 mesh is usually supported by 2 horizontal rails, either in timber or steel
