358 High Security Welded Mesh Fencing
358 welded mesh is a high-security, anti-climb fencing system commonly used in correctional facilities, infrastructure sites, and industrial zones. 358 mesh offers a low visual profile while delivering outstanding perimeter protection. It is constructed from 4mm diameter wire with a mesh aperture of 71mm x 9mm—too narrow for fingers or tools to penetrate.
What is 358 Welded Mesh?
The term "358" refers to the mesh's imperial measurements: 3-inch spacing between vertical wires, 0.5-inch spacing between horizontal wires, and 8-gauge wire (4mm diameter). It is manufactured using high-tensile zinc/aluminium coated steel and provides exceptional resistance to climbing and cutting tools.
