Custom Security Mesh Fencing

Choose the 358 panel construction before the fence height

358 security mesh is a close-spaced welded steel panel family. Its narrow mesh geometry is the starting point for an anti-climb perimeter specification, while the finished fence also includes posts, connections, gates and site interfaces. Flat, profiled and double-skin panels differ in their geometry and attachment requirements.

Use the product pages for fabrication details once the construction is selected. Where the brief allows a more open panel, compare welded and double-wire fencing. Choosing between those families changes the mesh geometry and supply specification, rather than simply changing the product name.

What does the 358 mesh measurement describe?

Our reference uses 76.2 × 12.7 mm wire-centre spacing. The clear space between adjacent wires also depends on the actual wire diameter and coating. Record the measurement convention alongside the mesh dimensions so the inspection team and supplier measure the same feature. The designation alone does not define every wire, edge or connection in a panel.

Match the mesh to the posts, gates and boundary layout

A close-mesh order needs a component schedule for straight runs, corners, terminations and openings. The post detail defines where panel edges meet, the clamping arrangement and the position of fasteners. If you are extending an existing fence, supply the retained post and clamp dimensions alongside photographs.

Gate infill can follow the selected mesh appearance, while the moving assembly needs its own frame, leaf clearances, hinges and locking interface. Use custom fence gates to define the opening type. Separate pedestrian, maintenance and vehicle entrances in the layout so their different hardware does not disappear into a single gate quantity.

Security mesh customisation and reference sizes

We review the panel construction and matching metal components from a drawing or a detailed enquiry. The fields below identify what changes in a custom security mesh order and where that change must be carried through the assembly.

358 quotation reference dimensions

These values come from our 358 product quotation references. Other dimensions can be submitted for review. The supplied combination is defined by the accepted drawing and quotation.

Specify corrosion protection and appearance together

The finish brief should describe both the base protection and any coloured topcoat. Identify whether coating is applied to the wire or to the fabricated assembly, and how welding, forming and cut edges are treated within that process. A colour name on its own does not define corrosion protection.

Include the intended environment, cleaning exposure and required coating documents. For panels, posts and gates ordered together, an approved appearance sample helps align colour and surface finish across the different components. The coating specification page explains how to record the finish and inspection basis without assuming a service life from appearance.

Keep required security evidence attached to the exact assembly

A project may call for a named test or approved system configuration. In that case, the review covers the panel, post, clamping, fasteners and relevant openings together. Changing one component can move the proposed supply outside the configuration described in the evidence.

Send the project requirement and the applicable documents with your enquiry. We identify the offered manufacturing and component-supply scope against them before the order is accepted. A description such as anti-climb, prison mesh or double-skin is not itself a tested security rating. Our guide to mesh descriptions and certified systems explains this procurement distinction.

Compare the complete supply cost and inspection scope

Panel area, wire arrangement, added layers, forming, coating and connection hardware affect the quotation. Special bays and changes in height also create separate drawing and packing items. For a meaningful comparison, keep the panel geometry and included post, clamp and gate quantities the same across offers.

For phased projects, group the bill of materials by boundary zone. A bundle marked only with a generic panel size can be difficult to assign when edge details or coating references differ. Recording zone, item reference and drawing revision helps the receiving team identify the correct material before installation.

Manufacturing checks to agree for a security mesh order

• Wire dimensions and mesh spacing measured by the agreed convention.
• Overall panel dimensions, squareness, edge condition and any formed profile.
• Specified weld inspection and coating acceptance requirements.
• Panel edge, clamp and post fit, including the combined thickness of a two-layer arrangement.
• Component counts, bundle labels and protection at contact points during transport.

The factory quality-control page describes how checks are connected to the order records. It is useful to settle the inspection method while the drawings are being reviewed, especially where a retained post system or a special interface controls acceptance.

Prepare a custom security mesh quotation

Send the chosen flat, profiled or double-skin construction, fence layout, heights, quantities, coating requirements and delivery destination. Add post and gate details and any required system evidence. Request a security mesh quotation with each manufactured panel and matching component clearly identified.
