Enhancing Security with 358 High Security Anti Climb Fence

For organizations that prioritize security, the 358 anti climb fence has become a benchmark for effective perimeter protection. Frequently referred to as anti-climb mesh or security mesh, its design specifically targets the context of high-risk environments where security is paramount.

Understanding 358 Mesh Fencing

358 mesh fencing is constructed from high-grade steel, making it exceedingly resilient and suitable for demanding security applications, including prisons, military facilities, and public institutions. The combination of finely welded joints and high-quality steel wire makes penetration nearly impossible, even with tools like bolt cutters. The key feature of the 358 design is its small mesh dimensions, which effectively prevent climbing, thus enhancing security.

Specifications of 358 Mesh

The "358" in its name refers to the dimensions of the mesh. Each opening measures 3 inches (75mm) in length, 0.5 inches (12.5mm) in height, made from 8-gauge steel wire, which corresponds to approximately 4mm in thickness. This level of engineering ensures that is virtually impossible to gain a purchase for climbing, making this fencing ideal for high-security locations.

Choosing the Height of Your Security Fence

For effective perimeter security, the ideal height for a security fence often ranges from 2 meters to over 5 meters, depending on the environment. For instance, high-risk locations like prisons often utilize fences over 5 meters tall, while residential properties in the UK typically restrict maximum heights to 2 meters. Always consult local regulations before planning your fence installation.

Improving Existing Security Fencing

In situations where budget constraints limit the installation of a full 358 security mesh, improvements can still be made by augmenting existing fencing. For example, attaching 358 mesh panels on top of existing security measures can dramatically enhance protection without the need for costly replacements. Adding a Roller Barrier as an additional security measure further increases effectiveness, providing a non-aggressive and safe solution that fulfills property owners' duty of care obligations.

Case Study: School Security Enhancement

A practical example of 358 mesh fencing in action can be found in school settings, where layering a single meter of 358 mesh on existing fencing alongside Roller Barrier installations has successfully inhibited student access to unsafe areas. The added height and anti-climb features deter individuals from climbing the culverts, significantly reducing injury risk and preventing potential damage to school infrastructure.

Whether for schools, businesses, or high-security facilities, the 358 mesh anti-climb fence presents an effective solution for enhancing perimeter security.
