The 358 Mesh provides the highest level of perimeter protection, making it ideal for areas requiring maximum security. This type of fencing is commonly used in prisons, nuclear facilities, data centers, research labs, warehouses, schools, and retail spaces. The 358 welded mesh fence is designed for high-security needs and often includes a double horizontal wire with a power-coated finish for extra strength. Its small mesh openings make it more robust and difficult to breach.
Made from strong welded mesh panels with small openings, 358 High-Security Mesh is nearly impossible to penetrate or attack with regular hand tools. It features anti-climbing and anti-cutting properties. The name "358" refers to the panel's mesh size: 3 inches × 0.5 inches × 8 gauge, which equals approximately 76.2 mm × 12.7 mm × 4 mm.
Galfan is a type of coating that consists of a zinc-aluminum alloy, typically 95% zinc and 5% aluminum. This coating provides enhanced corrosion protection compared to standard galvanized coatings, making it a popular choice for steel products, such as 358 mesh fencing, that are exposed to harsh environments. The aluminum in Galfan helps to increase the lifespan of the steel, offering a more durable and flexible protective layer, especially for high-security applications like 358 mesh fences.
Benefits of Galfan:
- Superior corrosion resistance: The combination of zinc and aluminum provides better protection against rust, particularly in marine or industrial settings. This is especially valuable for 358 mesh fences, which are used in sensitive areas requiring long-term durability.
- Longer lifespan: Galfan-coated products, including 358 mesh fencing, last longer than traditional galvanized ones, reducing the need for frequent replacements in high-security areas like prisons or airports.
- Increased flexibility: The coating is more flexible, which prevents cracking or flaking when the material is bent or shaped. This flexibility benefits 358 mesh fences, as their rigid structure still maintains its integrity during installation.
- Cost-effective: While slightly more expensive than standard galvanization, Galfan offers better protection and durability, making it a more cost-effective solution in the long run for applications such as 358 mesh fences that need to stand up to tough conditions.
Benefits of Powder Coating:
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where fine particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto a surface. The particles stick to the surface, and then the coating is cured in an oven, creating a smooth, durable finish.
Key benefits of powder coating include:
- Durability: Powder coating creates a tougher finish compared to traditional paint, resisting chipping, scratching, and fading. This is critical for 358 mesh fences, which require long-lasting protection in high-security environments.
- Corrosion resistance: It provides excellent protection against corrosion, especially when combined with pre-treatment like Galfan or galvanization. For 358 mesh fences, powder coating adds an extra layer of defense against weather and corrosion.
- Environmental friendliness: Powder coating does not contain solvents or harmful chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly option than liquid paints. This is an advantage when manufacturing fences like 358 mesh, which may be installed in environmentally sensitive areas.
- Aesthetic appeal: Powder coatings come in a wide range of colors and finishes, including matte, gloss, and textured options. The smooth and consistent finish improves the visual impact of 358 mesh fences, often used in areas where appearance matters, such as schools and recreational areas.
- Cost-effectiveness: Since powder coating is applied in a single, thick layer and requires less equipment for cleanup (no solvents or thinners), it is more cost-efficient in the long term. This makes it a great option for large installations of 358 mesh fences that need to maintain both security and visual appeal.
- UV resistance: Powder coating protects against UV rays, reducing fading and discoloration over time. This ensures that 358 mesh fences used outdoors, such as around industrial facilities or military sites, retain their color and appearance for years.
Features of 358 Mesh Fence:
- Anti-climbing: Small openings prevent toe or finger holds.
- Anti-cut: The strong wire and welded joints resist cutting by bolt cutters or wire cutters.
- High strength: Welded at every intersection for superior durability.
- Long-lasting: Galfan coating and polymer powder finish extend the fence's lifespan.
- Visibility: Specially designed to provide clear visibility, often used with electronic detection systems.
358 Mesh Panel Specifications:
