Materials

​

The 358 fence is mainly made of low - carbon steel wire, such as Q195 or Q235. Low - carbon steel offers a good balance between strength and formability. The wire used can have diameters of 3 mm, 3.5 mm, or 4 mm, with 4mm being a common choice for high - security applications. The use of high - quality steel wire ensures that the fence has sufficient strength to withstand external forces, whether it is an attempt to cut the wire or to push against the fence.

Performance Features​

Anti - climbing​

The small and dense mesh of the 358 fence makes it extremely difficult for individuals to find a grip to climb over. Even with the aid of tools, the narrow mesh openings prevent hands and feet from being inserted, effectively deterring unauthorized climbing. This anti - climbing feature is crucial in areas where security is of utmost importance, such as prisons, military bases, and high - security industrial facilities.​

Anti - shear​

Thanks to its large wire diameter and the dense arrangement of wires, the 358 fence is highly resistant to shearing. Traditional wire - cutting tools, like bolt cutters, have great difficulty in penetrating the thick wires and the tight - knit mesh. This anti - shear property provides long - term security, as it can withstand potential attacks from intruders attempting to cut through the fence.​

Corrosion resistance​

The 358 fence usually undergoes surface treatment to enhance its corrosion resistance. Common surface treatment methods include hot - dipped galvanizing, PVC coating, and powder coating. Hot - dipped galvanizing involves dipping the fence in a bath of molten zinc, which forms a thick and durable protective layer. This layer not only prevents rust and corrosion but also extends the lifespan of the fence, making it suitable for use in various environmental conditions, including humid and corrosive areas. PVC coating and powder coating not only add an extra layer of protection against corrosion but also offer a variety of color options, such as RAL 6005 green, RAL 7016 gray, and other custom RAL colors. These coatings can also enhance the aesthetic appearance of the fence while maintaining its security and durability.​

Good visibility​

Despite its high - security features, the 358 fence offers good visibility. The flat and evenly - spaced mesh surface allows for a clear view through the fence. This is beneficial in applications where surveillance and monitoring are necessary, such as in airports or large industrial plants, where security personnel need to be able to see inside and outside the fenced area without obstruction.

Typical Applications

Correctional Facilities: Prisons, detention centers, juvenile halls

Military & Government: Army bases, embassies, sensitive installations

Critical Infrastructure: Power plants, airports, border controls

Commercial Security: Data centers, pharmaceutical plants, VIP estates

Public Safety: Schools, hospitals, transportation hubs

The 358 fence is also used in the protection of transportation infrastructure, such as railways, light rail systems, and highways. Along railways, it helps prevent people and animals from trespassing on the tracks, ensuring the safety of trains and passengers. In highway construction, it can be used to enclose construction sites, providing a secure perimeter to protect workers and construction materials.
