What Is 358 Mesh?

358 Mesh is a welded mesh panel that is used in fencing, combined with a steel support structure. It is considered one of the best choices for high security fencing around the world, because it is hard to cut and hard to climb, but it still allows enough visibility through the fence. All of these are important factors in designing a high security fencing system.

Why Is It Called 358 Mesh?

Many people wonder why 358 mesh is named that, but the answer is actually very simple.

358 Mesh is called that because of the dimensions and materials it is manufactured with. Apertures are 3 inches long and 0.5 inches high, and the panels are manufactured from 8 gauge wire. Similarly, you can choose 356 mesh and mesh in some parts of the world.

What Finishes Do 358 Mesh Come In?

358 Mesh panels are almost always galvanized, but in some cases, they can be zincalum coated instead, or powder coated after galvanizing.

While most people in Canada are familiar with galvanizing and powder coating, zincalum is a lot less common here. This alloy of zinc and aluminim is applied the same way zinc is in a hot dip galvanizing setting, but offers far superior corrosion resistance.

Where to Get 358 Mesh Panels

Many of the worlds best fence manufacturers offer 358 fencing systems. They may have different posts and other structural design changes, but they all offer superior security for customers who want to invest in the best possible perimeter security.

One important thing to remember, however, is that while there are many manfacturers and suppliers for high security fencing, it takes a special contractor to properly install it. These fences demand accuracy in three dimensions, and if your contractor isn't experienced, you might not get the best result.

There are many types of mesh security fencing panels available, all with different features and properties, and which suit various applications and levels of security. Features and benefits between some mesh panels are highly distinct, while some are less obvious, so it helps to have an understanding of what each panel offers to avoid over-specifying. Here, we compare standard 358 mesh panels and double skin 358 mesh panels and explain the benefits and applications for each type.

Standard 358 mesh security fencing panels

Standard 358 mesh fencing is commonly referred to as &#;prison mesh&#;, although the product name at Jacksons Fencing is Securi-Mesh®.

Securi-Mesh® consists of a single layer of close-knit mesh, with small apertures and welds at each section. This prevents objects being passed through the mesh and also offers good climb resistance, as it makes it difficult to get a handhold or footing on the panel. While there are tools which can be used to assist with climbing this type of mesh, it is effective against the use of conventional hand-cutting tools. This is enhanced by the overlapping panel design at the post which, along with clamp bars and tamper-proof bolts, holds the panel secure to stop it being levered away. Securi-Mesh® panels are Galfan zinc alloy coated, providing superior resistance to rust and corrosion, and can also be polyester powder coated in a range of colours.

Securi-Mesh® has a discreet appearance with good visibility through the mesh, meaning it works well with CCTV and can be configured for additional security features, such as extending the posts to add security toppings. An LPS A1-rated version of this panel is also available.

The flexibility of Securi-Mesh® and the medium-to-high security it offers make it suitable for a wide range of applications such as higher risk schools, data centres, utilities, leisure facilities, stadiums, retail, and prisons. Standard 358 mesh fencing is available in heights from mm to mm and can also be configured to meet Home Office specifications.

Double skin 358 mesh

Double skin 358 mesh is known at Jacksons as Securi-Mesh® Plus. It consists of two layers of close-knit mesh, staggered to create smaller apertures which are then secured together with tamper-proof bolts and clamp bars. As with the standard panels, this prevents even smaller objects from being passed through, and makes Securi-Mesh® Plus harder to climb, with our without climbing devices.

With two layers of mesh, Securi-Mesh® Plus offers additional resistance to the use of both hand cutting tools and power cutting tools and its durability and strength means it doesn't only delay an intruder for longer but it also exceeds Home Office specifications for use in prisons.

Securi-Mesh® Plus is well suited to any site which demands a close mesh design to meet specifications, for example high security perimeters, data centres, high risk utilities, telecoms sites, ports and border control, and areas with a risk of climbing (e.g. sites next to potential climbing aids such as lampposts).

As with the standard 358 mesh, Securi-Mesh® Plus can be adapted and customised to the site with polyester powder coating in a wide range of colours, strengthened with premium Galfan zinc alloy coating. There is also an LPS B3-rated version available. Securi-Mesh® Plus is available in heights ranging from mm to mm (double clad up to mm, single clad over mm).
