ANTI CLIMB FENCE

ANTI CLIMB FENCE is the ultimate heavy duty welded mesh panel providing the highest degree of security with excellent see through visibility. It has toe and finger proof profile. With spacing specification of 75mm x 12.5mm, it is impossible for fingers and toes to go through. Hence, it prevents anyone from climbing over the fence to reach the protected area.

ANTI CLIMB FENCE is also known as ANTI CUT FENCE. The fence is designed to make it very difficult to cut through the panel with simple hand tools. With wire thickness of 4mm and spacing of 75mm x 12.5mm, intruders can never cut off the fence.

With excellent see through visibility makes ANTI CLIMB FENCE ideal to use in areas where CCTV is in operation. It is also very suitable to use on commercial, residential, governmental and industrial properties where you can enjoy both the ultimate security without compromising the visibility of customers and others.

The high quality galvanising coating gives ANTI CLIMB FENCE users a worry free mind. This is because unlike many other mild steel fences, ANTI CLIMB FENCE is hot dipped galvanised and does not get rusted easily in a short period of time. As a result, low maintenance or maintenance free for a very long period gives the user a calm mind.

The Ultimate Guide to 358 Fence

The Ultimate Guide to 358 Fence

Call it what you like: 358 fence, 358 security mesh, prison mesh fencing. There’s no denying that 358 mesh fences have become a go to for high security perimeter fencing.

It’s been around for a while, but if you’re still not sure exactly how 358 fence works, or where you should install it, you’re in the right place. Read on to find out what you need to know about 358 mesh or prison mesh fencing, and everything related to it.

Why Is It Called 358 Mesh?

The first thing you probably need to know is why it’s called 358 mesh to begin with – and it’s all about dimensions.

The standard mesh aperture size for prison mesh fencing is 3 inches wide by 0.5 inches high, and it’s made from 8-gauge wire. So, when the product was named, it was simply named for the dimensions of the mesh.

How Is 358 Mesh Made?

358 mesh is a very precise product, and each wire intersection needs to be welded, so of course, it wouldn’t be feasible to do this by hand!

Instead, 358 mesh manufacturers have large machines that position and electrically weld each wire intersection precisely. This ensures that every wire is perfect spaced and every joint on the panel is securely welded.

What Is 358 Mesh Made From?

358 mesh is usually made from mild steel wire, but there are a variety of wire coating options.

You could choose an ordinary galvanized panel for noncorrosive environments, or you could opt for a hot dip galvanized panel. There are also zincalum panels, which are coated with a corrosion resistant mixture of aluminum and zinc. These are usually better for highly corrosive environments.

There are also a variety of paint and powder coating finishes available. These are applied after the panels are made, and over the galvanizing or zincalum, and panels can usually be coated in a wide variety of standard and custom colors, depending on the volume being ordered.

How Much Does a 358 Mesh Panel Weigh?

One of the biggest challenges to designing, manufacturing and installing a 358 fence is the weight of the panels. This is about 9.6 kilograms per square meter of panel. That’s over 21lbs!

A standard 2.4 x 2.4m or 8 x 8’ panel will weigh 55.57 kilograms or over 122lbs.

This means that the structure of the fence needs to be designed to carry a lot of weight, and it can be tricky to get the fence panels into the right position and hold them there while you fasten them in place.

What Is a 358 Mesh Double Skin Panel?

In some parts of the world, believe it or not, a standard 358 mesh prison mesh fencing panel might not be enough to secure a site.

Which is why some companies developed “double skin” panels. These are panels that have a second “layer” of wires welded to each side, reducing the aperture size dramatically, and making the panels much heavier and stronger.

In most cases, ordinary 358 mesh fence will do the job well. But it’s nice to know that there are alternatives out there if you need them!

Can 358 Mesh Be Installed on a Curve?

Yes, in theory, you can curve 358 mesh panels, and there are fence systems like the bowed fence or curved fence systems that are installed at prisons in South Africa and elsewhere where that is done.

The general rule of thumb is that if you want to curve panels it should be along the standard “height” of the panel, and that the radius of the curve should be large and gentle.

If you want to install a bowed 358 fence, it’s a good idea to defer to the experts for design and specifying advice. This is not an easy task!

What Kind of Structure and Fittings Do 358 Mesh Fences Use?

There are many kinds of structure that could be used for 358 mesh fence systems, such as:

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit 358 Anti-Climbing Fence.

  • Angle iron posts and top and bottom rails with a flat bar cover strip bolted over the panel intersection at posts to fix panels in place.
  • Square posts with custom designed fence brackets.
  • IPE posts with flat bar cover strips.
  • Round posts with rivnut inserts and cover strips.

Because of the weight of 358 mesh panels, standard fence structural components will not be strong enough for this kind of fence. So, if you are planning to install a fence like this, you should get advice to engineer the structure properly.

Can 358 Mesh Be Cut?

Yes. Any fence can be cut. However, it’s a lot harder to cut 358 mesh fences than other fence types.

First, there’s the problem of space. You need space to get wire cutters around wires, and with only 0.5” between wires on a 358-mesh fence, there’s not a lot of that.

Then there’s the wire itself. It’s over 4mm or 8 gauge thick. Which means you would really struggle to cut them by hand, and even if you only had to create a 12” hole, you’d have to cut 24 wires on only one side! That would take a long time, and by that time, site security is very likely to have caught up to you already.

However, if someone had an angle grinder and the time to make a lot of noise and sparks cutting through the fence, they could do it. You would be able to see the hole instantly though – there’s no disguising a hole in a high security welded mesh fence!

Most sites that use 358 mesh fencing don’t give people enough time to do that though, and that kind of noise and disruption would almost certainly be spotted.

So, can you cut a 358 fence? Yes. In theory. But you probably wouldn’t be able to do it without being caught, and definitely not with hand tools.

Can You Climb a 358 Mesh Fence?

358 fence or prison mesh fencing as it’s known in some parts of the world is often marketed as a high security anti climb mesh fence.

That doesn’t mean that it can’t be climbed at all. But it is a whole lot harder than climbing any other kind of fence, and again, it’s all about the mesh aperture.

It’s very hard for most people to get their fingers into a 0.5mm gap and get enough grip to climb! Of course, if you had a ladder, which wouldn’t be a problem, but since most 358 fences are installed with fence top security like razor coils or electric fence, you’d still struggle to get over quickly.

What Are the Challenges of Installing 358 Fence?

There are lots of challenges involved in installing 358 fences, which is why the labour costs are higher for this type of fence too.

If your fence structure uses holes with predrilled or pre slotted holes, you need to make sure that they are installed at the right height, and of course, they need to be completely plumb to ensure that panel wires, cover strips and posts line up correctly.

Posts also have to be installed at the correct centers to ensure that all the holes, wires and bolts are lined up.

Then there’s the issue of slopes. 358 mesh panels are very rigid, so they don’t do well on sloped sites. You would need to cut the panels to follow slopes and use techniques like stepping to get the fence to follow a gradient.

What Sizes Do 358 Mesh Panels Come In?

358 mesh fence systems are designed to be security fences, so you will struggle to find them in anything under 3m height, unless you have them specially made or cut to size.

They can go up to 2.4m or 8’, 3m or 10’ or 3.6m or 12’ high in most standard sizes, and they can be specially made in other heights for special systems like bowed fences.

Usually, the width of the panel is designed for post spacing of 2.4m / 8’ or 3m / 10’, but again, there might be other options.

Highly Technical Fence

Hopefully, you know a little more about 358 fences now, but there’s one more thing you should know.

This is a highly technical fence system and should not be installed by any contractors who don’t specialize in this type of system. It requires a high level of precision, and in the hands of the untrained, it can be very difficult to get prison mesh fencing right.

So, make sure you not only choose the right specification, but also the right contractor for the job.

358 Security Fence

Anti climb mesh fence is also called 358 fence( 3"×0.5"×8 guage) also known as"prison mesh"or anti-climb fence, is a special fencing panel,we can make in our city, this production offers the best value for performance, durability and appearance,"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. 358 mesh, also known as prison mesh, features small holes and welded seams at each intersection, eliminating foot and finger grip and preventing objects from passing through, making it particularly effective for use with traditional hand cutting tools. It is often specified for use in schools, parks, recreation and entertainment venues as well as retail and commercial developments to provide a high level of physical perimeter protection.

Safe Perimeter Security with 358 Mesh Fencing and Roller Barrier

Often simply called anti climb mesh, security mesh or even prison mesh, 358 mesh fencing is synonymous with robust perimeter security. In this post we clarify exactly what 358 mesh fencing is and demonstrate how we use it in conjunction with our Roller Barrier anti climb system to cost-effectively enhance existing security fencing.

What is 358 Mesh?

358 Mesh is a welded wire mesh made from high grade steel. This form of mesh fencing is widely used in high security applications and environments such as prisons and military establishments. The robust steel wire and tough welded joints make the security fencing extremely difficult to penetrate, even with bolt cutters and wire cutters. And the small mesh dimensions are the key feature that makes this mesh impossible to climb.

358 mesh fencing panels are generally galvanised for durability and can be powder coated after galvanisation for further protection.

Why is it Called 358 Mesh?

The name ‘358 mesh’ describes the dimensions of the mesh. Each aperture (measured between the bar centres) is 3 inches long (75mm), 0.5 inches high (12.5mm) and made from 8 gauge steel wire, which is approximately 4 mm thick. Anti climb 356 mesh, with thicker steel wire, and mesh fencing, using thinner steel wire, are also used in some applications.

358 Mesh Security Fence Panel - Anti Climb Protection

The image above shows how the dimensions of the 358 mesh are too small to gain a finger or toe hold. The image also shows the robustly welded joints and the galvanised finish that ensures a reliable long life.

How High Should a Security Fence Be?

Establishing and maintaining the highest level of security is essential for most professional establishments, especially schools, sports facilities, government properties and secure premises such as prisons and psychiatric hospitals. Perimeter security fencing around properties such as these tends to be at least 2 metres high and often extends to 3 metres or higher, with 3 metres being a popular choice for general applications. Security fencing in high risk environments such as prisons is typically in excess of 5 metres high. 

For private properties in the UK the maximum height allowed for fencing in back gardens and between neighbouring properties is 2 metres. And in front gardens, or where fencing is next to a highway, the maximum height is just 1 metre. For anything higher than this planning permission is generally required. 358 Security mesh fencing isn`t normally used in domestic settings.

When considering the height of security fencing its essential to check with the relevant local authority for their rules and regulations. And if the fencing affects neighbouring properties it`s always a good idea to have a chat with them before making any changes.

How to Make an Existing Fence More Secure and Safe

Increasing the height of existing fencing is one of the primary ways to make it more secure. If the existing fencing consists of standard security fence panels, or maybe chain link fencing, then preventing handholds by overlaying the top 1 metre with 358 mesh fence panels provides a highly effective security enhancement while installing Roller Barrier along the fence-top safely increases the height.

Importantly, both 358 mesh anti climb security fencing and Roller Barrier are totally non-aggressive, harmless anti-climb solutions. Unlike razor wire and some sharp, spiked anti-climb solutions, people coming into contact with 358 security mesh or attempting to climb over Roller Barrier cannot harm themselves on these products, which fulfils the property owner’s ‘duty of care’ obligations.

Enhancing Existing Security Fencing

While 358 anti climb security fencing is highly effective it`s also expensive. Many establishments simply don’t have the budgets to afford expensive anti climb 358 mesh fencing everywhere. Most will typically use lower cost chain-link fencing or standard security fencing, but this can result in areas of vulnerability where anti climb protection is inadequate yet essential.

As noted, existing perimeter security can be significantly enhanced by using a combination of 358 mesh panels in conjunction with our Roller Barrier anti climb system. Rather than replacing the existing chain link or security fencing, 358 mesh panels are mounted on top of the existing fencing, covering just the uppermost metre of the existing fence. Even if climbers are able to reach this protected section they can’t get a firm toe or finger hold on the 358 mesh fence and importantly, can’t harm themselves if they try.

And the rigid 358 mesh anti climb fencing panels provide a robust foundation that supports the mounting of Roller Barrier above, safely increasing the height of the boundary fence. Where additional height is required a double row of Roller Barrier can be readily installed.

358 Mesh Installed Covering Uppermost Metre of Gates - with Roller Barrier

The image above demonstrates how 358 mesh security fencing panels have been installed along the uppermost section of these gates with Roller Barrier along the top to increase the height and safely deter and prevent unwanted intruders.

School Security and Safety Enhanced with 358 Mesh and Roller Barrier


The image above shows how just 1 metre of 358 mesh anti climb fencing in conjunction with a double-row Roller Barrier installation has made this school`s fencing impossible to climb. This security enhancement is successfully preventing youngsters from gaining access to pipework which they were previously using as a climbing frame, putting themselves at risk of injury and possibly damaging vital school systems.

Roller Barrier with 358 Mesh Preventing Flat Roof Access

The image above shows another school installation where the 358 mesh fence panels are overlaying the top section of an existing security fence with Roller Barrier along the top. As can be seen, the Roller Barrier support brackets are firmly attached to the rigid security fencing and the security enhancement is now preventing youngsters from climbing the fence to gain access to the flat building rooftop where they were putting themselves at risk of injury.
