Clearvu mesh combines close welded wire openings with dependable visibility across security boundaries. Its rigid steel construction discourages climbing and complicates attacks using basic hand tools. Boss Metal and Plastic Co., Ltd. manufactures welded mesh panels, posts, gates, and fittings in China. Our manufacturing experience supports projects across South Africa and other international markets.
Many buyers select clearvu mesh when solid boundary walls would obstruct surveillance. The narrow apertures help guards observe activity beyond the perimeter. The complete system also requires suitable posts, secure clamps, protective coatings, and properly designed foundations.
Security planners need fences that deter entry without blocking important sightlines. Clearvu mesh provides a physical boundary while maintaining airflow and useful visibility. Warehouses, utilities, schools, and transport facilities can select different heights and wire configurations.
Our High Security ClearVu Fencing range focuses on narrow apertures and compatible structural components. Another option, 358 Mesh Fencing, uses the familiar close-mesh format.
The designation 358 represents three inches, half an inch, and approximately eight-gauge wire. Metric descriptions commonly use 76.2 × 12.7 mm openings with roughly 4 mm wire. The drawing must define the mesh direction and centre-to-centre measurement.
The narrow spacing offers fewer useful fingerholds and footholds than wider meshes. It can delay intrusion attempts, but no fence guarantees absolute protection. Post foundations, gates, site monitoring, and security procedures still matter.
Each welded intersection helps distribute loads across the mesh. A suitable wire diameter supports cutting resistance and panel stiffness. Protective coatings reduce corrosion exposure, while secure fixings limit easy panel removal.
For higher-risk installations, 358 Prison Mesh offers a related product configuration. Buyers can also consider an Anti Climb Security Fence system for controlled perimeters.
The open pattern helps security teams observe movement outside the boundary. Designers should test camera angles, floodlights, and gate locations together. Fences cannot eliminate blind spots created by buildings, vehicles, or landscaping.
A transparent perimeter can support detection systems without becoming their only protective layer. Installers should assess camera placement before confirming final post locations.
Our reference range includes 76.2 × 12.7 mm welded openings. Common panel widths include 2515, 2750, and 3000 mm for selected heights. Taller reference panels use 2200 or 2300 mm widths.
These combinations represent different panel designs, not one universal 358 specification. Match each wire orientation and diameter to approved project drawings.
Standard 358 terminology usually describes approximately 4 mm wire with a 76.2 × 12.7 mm aperture. Alternative wire combinations can alter weight, stiffness, and cutting resistance. The 358 Anti-Climb Fence category illustrates a related product configuration.
Some projects use reinforced wires or wider apertures. Others choose 3D Fence Panels with V-shaped bends. Their bend geometry differs from flat welded panels. Customers should specify the structure instead of relying on the product name alone.
The following table preserves seven reference configurations from the original product information. Confirm post lengths, fixing quantities, and actual bay spacing before production.
| Panel height (mm) | Panel width options (mm) | Wire combinations (mm) | Post length (mm) | Bracket quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2100 | 2515 / 2750 / 3000 | 3.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 6.0 | 2700 | 7 |
| 2200 | 2515 / 2750 / 3000 | 3.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 6.0 | 2800 | 8 |
| 2400 | 2515 / 2750 / 3000 | 3.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 6.0 | 3000 | 9 |
| 2700 | 2200 / 2300 | 3.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 6.0 | 3700 | 10 |
| 3000 | 2200 / 2300 | 3.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 6.0 | 4000 | 11 |
| 3600 | 2200 / 2300 | 3.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 6.0 | 4800 | 12 |
| 4000 | 2200 / 2300 | 3.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 4.0 / 4.0 × 6.0 | 5200 | 14 |
Bracket quantities refer to the original schedule and require project confirmation. Engineering calculations determine the final post section, footing, and fixing arrangement.
Panel width describes the product dimension, not necessarily the post centre distance. Connections, overlaps, and post profiles affect installation spacing. Site surveys should identify slopes, corners, drainage, and underground services.
Never select tall fencing solely from a generic table. Wind exposure, soil capacity, and potential impacts influence the foundation design. Local engineers should review critical installations.
Reliable welding connects vertical and horizontal steel wires at regular intersections. Production teams should monitor wire diameter, mesh pitch, panel squareness, and weld condition. Inspect samples for cracked welds, sharp burrs, and dimensional variation.
Consistent welding also helps panels retain their shape during coating and handling. However, welding quality alone cannot establish overall security performance. Material certificates and project testing may support higher-risk specifications.
Close 358 openings offer more climbing resistance than many wide-aperture fences. Smaller wire diameters can reduce panel weight but also change rigidity. A Low Security Clear View Fencing configuration may suit lower-risk boundaries.
Another product family, ClearVu Fence Panels, includes multiple aperture and panel options. Security needs should guide those choices rather than appearance alone.
Posts anchor the mesh and transfer loads into the ground. Choose square, rectangular, or formed steel sections according to engineering requirements. The Clearvu Fence Posts range includes relevant post options.
Flat bars, spider clips, bolts, and security nuts connect the panels to posts. The Clearvu Fence Clamps range covers compatible fastening components. Specify fixing counts for line posts, corners, and ends.
Begin with a boundary survey and approved installation drawings. Mark post centres before excavation or anchor drilling. Measure gate openings separately from standard fence bays.
Installers should maintain alignment while protecting finished coatings. Concrete foundations and base plates require suitable structural checks. Record any site changes before final acceptance.
Metallic zinc coatings offer sacrificial protection against steel corrosion. Powder coatings supply colour and an additional environmental barrier. Buyers can specify hot-dip galvanising after fabrication or suitable precoated wire systems.
Powder Coated Clear View Fence combines coloured surfaces with an underlying protective system. Define coating thickness, preparation, and inspection standards before ordering.
Specify the treatment for posts, clamps, and gates alongside the panels. Mixed components can suffer uneven corrosion when protection levels differ.
RAL 6005 green blends with many landscaped sites. RAL 9005 black offers a neutral architectural finish. Other RAL colours can match project branding and nearby buildings.
Colour choice does not determine protective performance by itself. Coating preparation, film thickness, and exposure matter more. Inspect finished panels for scratches, missed areas, and poor adhesion.
Salt exposure increases corrosion risks near ports and coastlines. Projects should consider the entire coating system, including edges and fasteners. Additional maintenance may help preserve protective finishes.
For Clear View Fence South Africa projects, coastal and inland sites may need different specifications. Request documented coating properties rather than relying on a universal lifespan claim.
Manufacturing begins with material selection, wire straightening, and cutting. Welding forms the mesh before any required bending. Surface preparation and protective treatment follow the approved production route.
Inspectors check wire sizes, apertures, welds, finished dimensions, and coating appearance. Packing checks help reduce damage during export. Buyers can arrange additional inspections according to the purchase agreement.
Entrance gates should match the adjoining fence height and visibility. A Clear View Fence Gate can accommodate pedestrian or vehicle access. Confirm hinges, locks, stops, and structural support independently.
The Clearvu Gates family includes compatible entrance options. Larger entrances may require Clearvu Sliding Gates with suitable travel space and safety controls.
Optional toppings require appropriate risk assessment and local compliance. Their attachment points must not weaken the original mesh or post system.
Position cameras near entrances, corners, and vulnerable boundary sections. Plan illumination for night visibility and minimise direct glare. Security staff should inspect alarm connections and access-control equipment regularly.
A mesh boundary helps observation but does not replace monitoring procedures. Combine physical protection with sensible detection and response planning.
Panels need protective separators to prevent coating damage during transport. Steel pallets provide a sturdy base for bundling and container handling. Pack posts with caps and secure fittings in labelled cartons.
Before loading, verify piece counts and pallet stability. Record panel sizes, coating colours, and customer identification marks. Reinforce packages wherever handling equipment may contact exposed surfaces.
Commercial invoices should describe the actual fence components and agreed trade terms. Packing lists should identify panels, posts, gates, and accessory cartons. Container loading records can support delivery checks.
Buyers should confirm the destination port and unloading conditions. Accurate dimensions and weights help freight planning.
Industrial warehouses use welded security mesh to define protected yards. Utilities and substations may need higher panels and controlled access. Airports, laboratories, and logistics facilities often require uninterrupted perimeter monitoring.
Clearvu Fence Panels also serve projects requiring modular replacement and matching gates. Residential estates can choose suitable heights where local rules permit.
Some projects select Clear Vu Fence systems for their visible mesh architecture. Other projects prioritise stronger sections, additional toppings, or specialised access points.
Inspect coatings, mesh joints, clamps, and post bases during scheduled maintenance. Remove debris that traps moisture against metal components. Repair coating damage using compatible materials.
Check gate movement and hardware wear more frequently in busy facilities. Keep records of inspections, repairs, and component replacements.
Does narrow mesh completely prevent climbing? No. It discourages useful footholds and handholds, but security depends on the complete installation.
Can buyers order customised panels? Yes. We can review drawings for alternative heights, widths, wire diameters, and fittings.
Which finish suits humid locations? Select a documented corrosion-protection system that matches site exposure. Review all metal components together.
Can the mesh support surveillance? Yes. Openings help visibility, while suitable cameras and lighting address other monitoring needs.
Do all products use 358 wire? No. Alternative wire combinations serve different structural and security requirements.
Send the required perimeter length, panel height, mesh pitch, and wire orientation. Add post sizes, installation method, finish, colour, and delivery destination. Include gates, slopes, corners, and any additional security features.
BMP can review project drawings and prepare a corresponding export specification. Final production details depend on approved drawings and confirmed order requirements.
