358 prison mesh fencing is a high security steel fencing system made from tightly welded mesh panels. The name “358” refers to its mesh size (3″ x 0.5″ x 8 gauge), which prevents climbing and cutting while maintaining visibility.
The term “358” comes from the specification:
- 3 inches between horizontal wires
- 0.5 inches between vertical wires
- 8 gauge wire thickness
This tight structure creates an anti-climb, anti-cut barrier.
Yes. The small mesh apertures make it extremely difficult to gain a foothold or grip, which significantly reduces the risk of climbing.
358 mesh fencing offers strong resistance to cutting due to its heavy gauge steel and close wire spacing. While no fence is completely cut-proof, it provides a very high level of protection.
358 prison mesh fencing is commonly used for:
- Prisons and secure facilities
- Airports and data centres
- Schools and public buildings
- Industrial and commercial sites
It is ideal for locations where both visibility and security are required.
358 fencing is typically installed at heights ranging from 2.4 metres to over 5 metres, depending on the security level required.
Higher installations often include additional security features such as barbed wire or razor wire.
Costs vary depending on height, finish, and installation requirements. Generally, high security mesh fencing is priced higher than standard mesh but can be comparable to other security systems depending on specification.
It depends on the application:
- 358 mesh fencing offers better visibility and anti-climb performance
- Palisade fencing offers a stronger visual deterrent
358 is often preferred where surveillance and modern security design are important.
Very little. Most systems are galvanised and powder coated, which protects against rust and corrosion, ensuring long term performance.
Yes. It can be installed using stepped or raked methods to follow the ground while maintaining security and appearance.
In the UK:
- Fencing under 2 metres usually does not require permission
- Taller fencing or fencing near highways may require approval
Always check with your local authority before installation.
Yes. It is often installed alongside:
- CCTV systems
- Access control gates
- Barbed or razor wire
