This guide provides a clear, practical overview of welded mesh fencing, including technical specs, use cases, and key benefits. Whether you're planning a secure perimeter or evaluating materials for infrastructure, this page will help you understand what's available and how to choose the right option.
What Is Welded Mesh Fencing?
Welded mesh fencing consists of vertical and horizontal steel wires welded together at intersections to form a rigid mesh panel. It offers strength, transparency, and a clean look — making it suitable for a variety of secure or high-visibility areas.
Panels often feature a rolled top and bottom for added strength and safety. They are lightweight, low maintenance, and can be used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Finishes & Coatings
- Galvanised (Zinc/Aluminium Coated): Long lifespan with corrosion resistance
- Powder Coated: Colour finish for better aesthetics and environmental blending
Colours and finish options can vary by panel type. Powder coating is commonly used for commercial and government applications where visual integration is important.

Installation Tips
- Install posts and panels with anti-tamper fasteners for secure fencing lines
- Use powder-coated panels in coastal or visual-sensitive zones
- Ensure continuous sightlines are preserved for surveillance when installing 358 mesh
358 High Security Welded Mesh
358 Mesh is a high-security fencing type also known as “prison mesh” or “anti-climb mesh.” Its strength and anti-penetration design make it ideal for critical infrastructure and secure areas.
-
358 Mesh Specifications:
- Mesh Aperture: 71mm x 9mm
- Wire Diameter: 4mm (8 gauge)
- Material: High-tensile zinc/aluminium coated steel
- Coating: To AS/NZS4534, minimum 260g/m²
- Weld Strength: Compliant with AS2423-2002
- Tensile Strength: Approx. 560 MPa
-
Why 358 Mesh Is Used
- Anti-climb and anti-cut design
- Maintains clear visibility for cameras and patrols
- Extremely durable in both urban and remote conditions
- Low visual impact on the environment
-
Finishes & CoatingsTypical 358 Mesh Applications
- Prisons and correctional facilities
- Substations and electrical infrastructure
- Rail and bridge protection
- Airport and port perimeters
- Water treatment plants
- Walkway security fencing
- High-security factory guards
- High-security window screens and balustrades
-
Corromesh 358
Corromesh 358is a variation of 358 mesh that features horizontal corrugations. These add a distinctive appearance while preserving high-security properties.
-
Benefits of Corromesh
- Stylish ribbed appearance blends into landscapes
- Same anti-climb and cut resistance as traditional 358
- High transparency for surveillance
- Suitable for areas requiring security without harsh aesthetics
-
Corromesh Applications
- Public parks and waterways
- Government utility facilities (electricity, gas, rail)
- Industrial developments
- Security fencing for bridges
- Substations and depots
