Mesh Fencing: Optimal Security and Visibility

With three different types of mesh available, including 358, profiled and double wire, mesh fencing is the future in security and will continue to evolve over the years. Also known as prison mesh or anti-climb fencing, 358 mesh fencing offers a unique combination of security and visibility.

Enhanced Security with Small Mesh Openings

The primary advantage of 358 mesh fencing lies in its tightly woven pattern. The small mesh openings make it virtually impossible for intruders to gain a foothold or climb over the fence, significantly increasing the security level and making it ideal for high-security areas such as correctional facilities, airports, or data centres. Profiled mesh panels have 30mm projections to prevent scaling, and double wire mesh panels have both 30mm projections and double horizontal wires up to 8mm each to prevent cutting.

Unobstructed View and Natural Aesthetics

With the ability to offer unobstructed visibility due to its open mesh design, mesh fencing is beneficial when maintaining a clear line of sight is necessary, such as for surveillance purposes or areas where visibility is required for safety reasons. Furthermore, where required, the mesh pattern blends well with surroundings, offering a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance compared to solid barriers when it comes to securing locations such as educational facilities.

Low Maintenance and Longevity

Mesh fencing is constructed using high-quality galvanised or powder-coated steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. This low-maintenance solution requires minimal upkeep, reducing long-term maintenance costs. Its longevity makes it an excellent investment for locations where security is a priority.

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).
