358 Security Prison Mesh

Used for the highest-security applications requiring maximum protection, including Prisons, Military Bases, Government Sites, Airports, Utilities, and Industrial Facilities. Its close, welded mesh ensures exceptional strength, anti-climb protection, and clear surveillance visibility.

358 Security Prison Mesh

358 Security Prison Mesh, often referred to as “prison mesh” or “anti-climb mesh,” is a high-security fencing system designed for applications where maximum security and visibility are critical. The name “358” comes from its dimensions: the mesh openings measure 3″ x 0.5″ (76.2mm x 12.7mm) and are created using 8-gauge (4mm) wire. This design provides excellent resistance to tampering, cutting, and climbing, making it a trusted choice for high-security environments.

358 Security Prison Mesh is a trusted, high-performance fencing option for protecting sensitive sites. Its anti-climb, anti-cut design ensures maximum perimeter security while allowing clear visibility for surveillance. Though it may require a higher initial investment, its durability and effectiveness make it a cost-efficient solution for high-security needs over time.
