358 Fence Common Specifications and Applications

358 Fence Common Specifications and Applications

358 welded mesh panels, also known as “anti-climb” or “prison mesh” fencing, are widely recognized for their high-security performance, durability, and versatility. Ideal for perimeter security, industrial sites, airports, schools, and public infrastructure, these panels offer a robust solution for demanding environments. Below, we outline the common specifications of 358 fencing to help you select the right product for your project.


1. Technical Specifications

  • Mesh Design:
    • Aperture Size: 76.2 mm × 12.7 mm (3″ × 0.5″).
    • Wire Diameter:
      • Horizontal wires: 3.66 mm (8 gauge).
      • Vertical wires: 4.88 mm (6 gauge).
    • Welded Joints: Precision resistance welding ensures strength and tamper resistance.
  • Panel Dimensions:
    • Height: 1.8 m, 2.1 m, 2.4 m (6 ft, 7 ft, 8 ft).
    • Width: 3.0 m or 3.66 m (10 ft or 12 ft) for standard panels.
    • Custom sizes available upon request.
  • Material:
    • Steel Grade: High-tensile, low-carbon steel (S355JR/EN 10025 standard).
    • Coating:
      • Galvanized: Hot-dip galvanized (standard coating: 50–60 g/m²) for corrosion resistance.
      • PVC Coated: Optional green, black, or gray PVC coating for enhanced durability and aesthetics.

2. Key Features

  • Anti-Climb Design: The small mesh aperture (76.2 mm × 12.7 mm) prevents intruders from gaining footholds.
  • High Strength: Reinforced vertical wires (6 gauge) resist cutting and impact.
  • Weather Resistance: Galvanized or PVC-coated finishes ensure longevity in harsh climates.
  • Low Maintenance: Minimal upkeep required compared to traditional fencing.

3. Applications

358 fencing is ideal for:

  • Perimeter Security: Airports, prisons, power plants, and military facilities.
  • Public Safety: Schools, parks, and government buildings.
  • Industrial Zones: Factories, warehouses, and logistics centers.
  • Residential Use: High-security private properties and gated communities.

4. Installation Options

  • Posts: Paired with square or round steel posts (60 mm × 60 mm or 76 mm diameter).
  • Fixings: Bolted or clamp-on connections for easy assembly.
  • Foundations: Concrete footings or ground spikes for stability.
