View Details


358 anti-climb fence, known as high security fence, is a welded wire mesh fence designed to prevent climbing and cutting. The name '358' comes from the size of the mesh panels, which are 3 inches by 0.5 inches (76.2mm x 12.7mm) and the wire diameter is 8 gauge (4mm). This makes the fence extremely difficult to cut or climb as it is too small for fingers or tools to fit through.


Advantages of 358 anti-climb fence

The fence is usually made of galvanised steel, which makes it resistant to rust and corrosion. It can also be coated in various colours of PVC to blend in with the surroundings or to make it more visible as a deterrent.

  1. 1. High security: The 358 anti-climb fence has a tight mesh that makes it difficult for anyone to climb over, while preventing cuts from ordinary tools.

  2. 2. Durability: The fence is made from high quality galvanised steel, which is rust and corrosion resistant.

  3. 3. Aesthetic: After welding it can be painted in various colours such as black, green etc. to suit the surrounding environment.

  4. 4. Multi-purpose: 358 anti-climbing fence is often used in high-security protection places such as prisons, military bases and airports, but also in houses, schools, factories, etc.

Types of 358 anti-climb fence

  1. 1. Standard 358 Anti-climb fencing: This is the most common type of 358 fencing and features a standard mesh panel size and wire diameter.



  2. 2. 358 Anti-climb fence with razor wire: This type of fence has razor wire or barbed wire installed at the top of the fence to make it more difficult to climb.


  3. 3. 358 Anti-climb Fence with anti-climbing spikes: This type of fence has spikes installed at the top of the fence to deter climbers.


  4. 4. 358 Clearvu fence: This is a common type of 358 fence with bends in the mesh, known as clear view fence, which is stronger and more aesthetically pleasing than the standard 358 fence. clearvu fence is most widely used in places such as South Africa.

SECURIFOR 358 Trusted high-security fencing panel system

Benefits

Secure and discreet: A superior system for providing security where a discreet visual impact on the immediate environment is essential.

Vandal-resistant: Anti-Cut: Robust wire and weld joints make cutting very difficult using a conventional bolt or wire cutters. Anti-Climb: No toe or finger holds due to small mesh apertures.

Good viewing visibility: The panels have excellent visibility characteristics, due to the flat two-dimensional profile of the fence appears almost invisible. This is particularly important for unobstructed camera surveillance, either from the front or at an angle.

Durability: The high-quality coating technology guarantees an extended product life span and low maintenance due to advanced anti-corrosion properties

Accreditation: Secured by Design, LPCB and CPNI rated systems available. 

Panels

NOTE: Securifor 358 is manufactured in European & South African factories. Specifications are different depending on the factory, please check all specifications carefully.

Panels are made of a heavy, high-security welded mesh 2 518.6 mm wide ( mm wide in South Africa). Several panels can be installed one above the other. Panels in one piece up to 6 m high are also available. 
For maximum security, the mesh is 12.7 x 76.2 mm (H x W), with a 4 mm wire diameter. 
Weld strength: 50% of the minimum tensile strength of the wire. In tests, performed by specialised police departments, the mesh had a delay factor 40x greater than other standard fence products - a vital requirement to capture potential escapees. 
Tested to comply fully with the security standards in Europe. 
Featuring a toe and finger proof mesh aperture, this system combines an anti-climb and anti-cut fence with excellent resistance to vandalism and visibility for use with CCTV.
Extra length panels or underdigs can be supplied (+300 mm) for installation below ground to prevent burrowing.
