What is 358 mesh?
358 mesh, also known as prison mesh, is a high-security anti-climb fencing system designed to provide maximum perimeter protection. Commonly used for prisons, airports, industrial sites, and government facilities, this fencing solution offers unmatched security while maintaining a low visual impact on the surrounding environment.
With a mesh aperture of 71mm x 9mm and manufactured from 4mm diameter wire, 358 fencing is extremely difficult to penetrate using conventional hand tools, offering a high delay factor against intrusion. The finger and toe-proof mesh design prevents climbing while ensuring clear sightlines for surveillance from any angle.
Otter Fencing supplies and installs 358 welded mesh fencing across Melbourne and surrounding areas, including Dandenong, Geelong, Truganina, and Tullamarine, ensuring security solutions for a wide range of applications.
We provide galvanised and powder-coated finishes to enhance durability, making 358 security fencing suitable for high-risk locations such as Altona, Keysborough, and Campbellfield, where strong perimeter protection is essential.
- 358 refers to the imperial measurements: 3-inch (75mm) centres, the horizontal wires at 0.5-inch (12.5mm) centres and the wire is 8 gauge (4mm dia).
