2.4m High 358 Prison Mesh Security Fencing Kit With Clamp Bar

2.4m High 358 Prison Mesh Security Fencing Kit with Clamp Bar

The 2.4m High 358 Prison Mesh Fencing Kit with Clamp Bar is the definitive solution for high-stakes perimeter security. Engineered to deliver an uncompromising barrier against intrusion, this system provides a formidable defence for sensitive locations while masterfully balancing robust protection with clear visibility and a clean, modern aesthetic. It stands as the premier choice for sectors where security is paramount and cannot be compromised.

The '358' Standard of Security

The "358" designation signifies its highly effective design, derived from imperial measurements: 3” x 0.5” apertures from 8-gauge wire. In metric terms, this translates to a tightly woven 76.2mm x 12.7mm grid constructed from robust 4mm steel wires. This dense mesh is the core of its security prowess, rendering it virtually impossible to scale by denying would-be intruders any finger or toe holds. Furthermore, its design effectively frustrates attempts at cutting with conventional hand tools, as the narrow apertures prevent bolt cutters from gripping the wires. This inherent anti-climb and anti-cut resistance makes 358 mesh the trusted standard for the most demanding environments.

Enhanced Height and Uncompromised Visibility

Standing at an imposing 2.4 metres (approximately 8 feet), this fencing provides a significant physical and psychological deterrent. Despite its dense construction, the 358 mesh pattern offers exceptional through-visibility, which is crucial for maintaining unobstructed sightlines for surveillance personnel and CCTV systems. This clarity ensures there are no blind spots where threats could be concealed. The smooth, weld-flush finish eliminates sharp protrusions and edges, making it a safe and responsible choice for public-facing applications such as schools, parks, and leisure centres.

Versatile Installation and Lasting Durability

To ensure suitability for any site, the kit is designed for complete versatility. You can choose between two distinct post types to match your ground conditions:

• Dig-In Posts: Ideal for installation in soft ground like soil or grass, these posts are set in concrete to create an exceptionally stable and permanent foundation.
• Bolt-Down Posts: Featuring integrated base plates, these posts are designed for secure anchoring onto hard surfaces like concrete, perfect for areas where excavation is impractical.

To guarantee maximum security and a seamless aesthetic, each kit is supplied with a high-security Clamp Bar fixing system as standard. This superior method involves a continuous flat bar that firmly clamps the mesh panel to the post along its entire height. This creates an incredibly strong, tamper-resistant connection that enhances the fence's rigidity and provides a clean, professional finish with no easily accessible external fixings.

Built to last, every component is pre-galvanised to protect against rust and then finished with a durable powder coating. Available in our standard RAL 6005 Green or a custom RAL colour of your choice, this dual-layer protection ensures exceptional longevity and weather resistance. For a secure assembly, we strongly recommend using Torque Bits compatible with the specialist security fixings supplied.
