358 / 354 Security Wire Fence – high-security, anti-climb perimeter fencing system

358 / 354 security wire fence is a type of high-security fencing commonly used in industrial, commercial, and government applications. It is also known as an “anti-climb fence” or “prison mesh fencing.”

358 wire fence provides exceptional security through welded wire mesh construction. The name “358” comes from its precise dimensions: 3-inch by 0.5-inch (76.2mm × 12.7mm) mesh openings using 8-gauge (4mm) thick wire. This anti-climb design prevents intruders from gaining handholds or footholds. The fence secures critical facilities while maintaining excellent visibility for surveillance.

354 wire fence delivers exceptional security through its welded wire mesh construction. The name “354” derives from its precise dimensions: 3-inch by 0.5-inch (76.2mm × 12.7mm) mesh openings, using 2 x 8 GA (4 mm) horizontal wire with an extra wire every 6 inches, and 1 x 4 GA (6 mm) vertical wire. This anti-climb design prevents intruders from obtaining handholds or footholds. The fence secures critical facilities while maintaining excellent visibility for surveillance.

Key Features & Design

Anti-Climb Design
Small, dense mesh openings prevent secure handholds. They also eliminate reliable footholds completely. This significantly slows down any climbing attempt. High-tensile steel wire provides exceptional strength. It resists cutting and prying tools effectively.

Security & Deterrence
The robust visual appearance discourages intruders immediately. Its formidable structure signals serious protection. Tampering or breaching becomes extremely difficult. This wire fence meets high-security site requirements perfectly.

Durability & Low Maintenance
Hot-dip galvanizing protects against corrosion thoroughly. A PVC coating is also available for extra protection. These finishes ensure decades of service life. The 358 354 security wire fence withstands harsh weather conditions reliably. Maintenance needs remain minimal over time.

Visibility & Surveillance
The open mesh design maintains clear outward visibility. Security personnel can monitor areas easily. It does not create blind spots or hiding places. This supports comprehensive site surveillance effectively.

Primary Applications

This high-security wire fence is specifically engineered for environments demanding maximum protection. It is the standard choice for national critical infrastructure, including power generation plants (nuclear, thermal, hydro), oil and gas refineries, and water treatment facilities, where breaches could have catastrophic consequences.

Within the justice and corrections sector, it forms the primary perimeter barrier for maximum and medium-security prisons, detention centers, and juvenile facilities. Its anti-climb design is crucial for preventing escapes and unauthorized entry.

The fencing secures military and defense installations such as army bases, weapons depots, and border control points, providing a formidable first line of defense. It is equally vital for protecting transportation corridors, including railway sidings, subway system perimeters, international airport airside boundaries, and strategic highway sections.

Furthermore, it is extensively deployed around high-value commercial and industrial assets like pharmaceutical warehouses, data server farms, port container yards, and automotive manufacturing plants, safeguarding against theft, sabotage, and espionage. Its use extends to sensitive public venues including government compounds, embassies, and major sports stadiums, ensuring crowd control and asset protection.

Custom Accessories

Our fencing system is designed for robust and adaptable integration into comprehensive security perimeters. It seamlessly pairs with heavy-duty structural supports, including galvanized steel H-posts or U-posts, and reinforced concrete foundations for permanent, high-load installations.

Security can be significantly enhanced with integrated overhead protection systems. These include standard barbed wire, concertina razor coil (flat-wrap or spiral), and anti-ram vehicle barriers, creating a multi-layered deterrent.

We offer full-scope custom fabrication to meet exact project specifications. This includes custom panel dimensions, unique angles for sloping terrain, and dedicated gate systems that maintain the wire fence’s security integrity.
