The 1.8m High 358 Prison Mesh Security Fencing Kit with Clamp Bar is a professional-grade perimeter security system designed to deliver strength, visibility, and durability for medium to high-risk environments. Recognised for its outstanding resistance to intrusion and vandalism, this fencing type is trusted across a wide range of applications, including commercial premises, schools, correctional facilities, and transport hubs.
Constructed from robust 4mm horizontal and vertical steel wires, the 358 Prison Mesh – also known as “358 Mesh” (referring to its 3" x 0.5" x 8-gauge configuration in imperial units) – offers exceptional performance against cutting and climbing attempts. The mesh apertures measure 76.2mm x 12.7mm, creating a tight grid that prevents intruders from gaining a foothold or inserting conventional cutting tools. Each wire intersection is precision-welded to provide a rigid, tamper-resistant structure that retains its shape even under pressure.
At 1.8 metres high, this fencing system is ideally suited for locations requiring strong security but not necessarily full-height perimeter defence. It provides an excellent balance of protection, visibility, and aesthetic appeal, making it popular for sites such as retail parks, industrial estates, educational institutions, and recreational facilities. Despite its dense design, the fine aperture allows for clear surveillance, ensuring compatibility with CCTV monitoring systems without compromising the line of sight.
Each fencing kit includes high-quality mesh panels, steel posts, and clamp bars for secure installation. The clamp bar design ensures panels are firmly fixed in place while maintaining a neat and consistent appearance along the fence line. Depending on your site’s surface type, you can choose between Dig-In posts (for soft ground) or Bolt-Down posts (for hard surfaces such as concrete). This flexibility allows for easy adaptation to a variety of environments.
Every 358 Prison Mesh Fencing Kit is pre-galvanised for enhanced protection against corrosion, and it can also be supplied with a durable polyester powder-coated finish. Powder coating not only strengthens resistance to weathering and rust but also delivers a smooth, professional appearance. With a wide range of RAL colours available, you can coordinate your fencing to suit existing structures or site branding, whether you prefer a discreet black or green finish or a bold custom shade.
In addition to its strength and aesthetics, safety is a key feature of this fencing system. With no exposed sharp edges, 358 Mesh is safe for use in public areas, schools, and parks while maintaining a formidable barrier against unauthorised access.
For installation, Torque Bits are highly recommended, as these are designed to fit the specialist bolts included within our mesh fencing kits. Using the correct installation tools ensures a secure and tamper-proof assembly that meets professional security standards.
