About

Anti-climb weldmesh fencing, often called 358 mesh or prison mesh, is a high-security barrier featuring a 76.2 mm x 12.7 mm (3" x 0.5") aperture, preventing hand or tool access. It offers exceptional resistance to climbing and cutting due to its dense, small-mesh steel configuration, making it ideal for prisons, airports, and critical infrastructure. Key Features and Specifications Mesh Size: The standard "358" designation refers to 3" x 0.5" x 8 gauge mesh, providing superior cut resistance. Anti-Climb Design: The small (less than 9 mm) vertical openings prevent finger/toe holds, making the fence nearly impossible to scale. Anti-Cut Properties: The dense, welded mesh pattern resists traditional hand tools and bolt cutters. Visibility: Despite its strength, the mesh allows for good visibility, which is essential for security surveillance. Durability: Typically constructed from galvanized steel wire, often with a polyester powder coating to resist corrosion for up to 15 years. Panel System: Often supplied in panels that are secured with anti-tamper fixings, ensuring the integrity of the fence line.
