Structure of 358 Mesh Fence, Opening Size and Wire Gauge.

358 security fence is made of rectangular opening welded mesh with finger proof aperture. The 358 mesh has an opening of 3 inch in length, 0.5 inch in height and the wire gauge applied is BWG 8. 358 Mesh gets its name from above numbers (3, 0.5 and 8) applied for designing this welded mesh. Calculated in millimeter, the size of the weld wire mesh opening will be 76.2mm in length x 12.7mm in height x 4mm (wire diameter).

From above data, 358 mesh is a strong security screen combined with a thick wire diameter of 4mm, and a small opening in height. This design provides a barrier that is difficult to climb or penetrate. The closely arranged wires are welded to form an anti-climbing mesh panels. The hole height is only 12.7mm which is totally impossible for fingers to catch and difficult for tools to conduct holding or cut. Almost impossible to cut wires by use of conventional bolt or wire cutters. With the anti-climbing and anti-cutting and finger-proof features, 358 mesh makes ideal security fencings for bridge guarding, prison security fencing, electrical sub-station fencing, gas pipeline security fence as well as safety barrier for those sites and facilities of public health and public safety. The security level can be enhanced with using of razor wire concertina spirals on the 358 weld mesh fence panels.

High Security 358 Mesh Fence: 358 Security Mesh Panels with Razor Concertina Tape Toppings

We Supply complete High Security Fencing systems with 358 Welded Mesh Panels, Fence Posts and Gates, Razor Wire or Concertina Coils for Security Fencing Barrier Purpose.

For sloping areas, we supply stepped mesh panels.

The fence panels and gates are all made of thick steel wire heavily hot dipped galvanized or PVC coated.

Razor Wire or Concertina Wire Options:
To enhance security of 358 guarding fence to maximum, razor wire fence topping or concertina razor tapes can be chosen to added along the top of the fence panels or gates.

Razor Wire Coils have piecing and cutting razor blades. Mounted at fence topping can achieve the result of frightening and stopping to the aggressive perimeter intruders. The special designs of razor wire crossed concertina make climbing and touching extremely difficult.

The Anti climb weld 358 mesh fences enhanced with razor wire coils are 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 panels owing to its unique configuration.

Fence accessories include fence clamps, Bottom, Top, Middle rails, single arms and Double arms for the razor wire on the top.

Advantages of 358 Fence compared with Chain Link Fence.

'358' comes from its measurements 3" x 0.5" x 8 gauge which equates to approx. 76.2mm x 12.7mm x 4mm in metric. It is a professional welded mesh structure designed for high security environments, combined with an steel framework, coated with heavily zinc or RAL coulor Powder coating.

Comparing with chain link fence, 358 security fence is a special fencing panel offers more small openings, no toe or finger holds. 358 Mesh has robust wire and welded joints make cutting very difficult. The flat and two-dimensional profile is easier to see through than chain link.

358 Mesh High Security Fence Demensions

358 High security fence Benefits:

(1)Secure and discreet 
A superior system for providing security where a discreet visual impact on the immediate environment is essential. 

(2)Vandal resistant 
The finger proof aperture combined with 4mm wire diameter provides a barrier that is difficult to climb or penetrate. Almost impossible to cut wires by use of conventional bolt or wire cutters. 

(3)Efficient deterrence 
An effective deterrent to intruders available in various heights up to 6m. Compatible with electronic detection and alarm systems. 

(4)Good viewing visibility 
In spite of the small mesh aperture the see-through characteristics remain unimpaired when viewed head-on and even at an angle to the fence. This is particularly important for clear camera surveillance.

(5)Durability 
The high quality advanced coating technology guarantees an extended product life span and low maintenance. 

(6)Installation 
The panels are produced at 3.050 m, reducing the amount of posts needed by 20%. Installation time is thus reduced.

(7)Weld Strength 
The superior welding technique and process control create a stronger fusion between the wires.

(8) Sharp Topping
The blade profile razor wire along the top of the fence panels makes it extremely difficult to climb or penetrate.
