SR1 Rated 358 Flat Panel Security Fence System

Protek 358 Elite is the upgraded version of our standard prison mesh fencing, earning the prestigious SR1 security standard recognition from the LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board).

The LPCB is partnered with the UK government to set benchmarks for security products. It provides standards that help customers verify a product's resistance to various forms of attack. Each product certified by the LPCB has undergone rigorous testing to meet a minimum, known as the SR rating.

SR1 rated fencing stands strong against opportunistic forced entry attempts utilizing simple tools such as cable cutters, screwdrivers, knives, and hammers, for a duration of up to 1 minute. When combined with Protek 358's tightly woven mesh, this results in a formidable security fence that proves challenging to climb, cut or break into.

Ideal for critical security perimeters, SR1 rated 358 fencing is perfect for high-stakes environments such as infrastructure facilities, financial depots, and government institutions.

Various Sizes And Colours Available

Protek 358 Elite prison mesh fencing comes in heights ranging from 1.8m to 3m. To ensure optimal stability, as the fence height increases, so does the size of the supporting posts. All of our 358 mesh panels enjoy galvanization for durable weather protection, and we provide powder coating in over RAL colors. RAL (Moss Green) is held in stock for quick dispatch.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Import 358 Mesh Fencing From China

Are you in need of 358 mesh fencing for an upcoming project? If you're considering importing from China, you've made a wise choice. This guide will systematically walk you through the entire import process, from identifying suppliers to arranging for shipment. Continue reading for deeper insights!

1. What Type of Mesh Fencing Can You Find in China?

Known as an anti-climb fence, 358 mesh fencing is recognized for its high-security capabilities. The mesh size is intentionally small, making it extremely difficult for intruders to penetrate – this is where it earns its "anti-climb" designation.

Typically, we manufacture this anti-climb fencing with mesh dimensions of 76.2mm x 12.7mm and a wire diameter of 8 gauge, resulting in the term "358 mesh fencing."

To enhance security further, spikes can be attached to the top of the panels. Additionally, concertina razor wire or barbed wire can be applied atop the welded wire mesh for further anti-climb protection.

Chain link fencing is constructed from wires woven by machines, with standard mesh sizes of 50mm x 50mm or 60mm x 60mm, and wire gauges ranging from 3mm to 6mm. Most suppliers can tailor these attributes to your specifications.

Welded wire mesh panels share similarities with 358 mesh fences, although their mesh sizes are larger. Variants include double wire mesh fences (often called twin wire fences), 3D mesh fences, roll-top mesh fences, and decorative wire mesh options.

3D Wire Mesh Fencing

Featuring curves along its length, 3D wire mesh fencing typically showcases two curves on a height of 1.5m and three curves on a height of 1.8m, explaining its name.

This fencing features openings of 50mm x 200mm, with wire gauges ranging from 3mm to 6mm, also customizable per your specifications.

Roll Top Wire Mesh Fencing

The roll-top design features a triangular bend at the top, resembling a roll. The mesh openings align with the 3D mesh panel specifications, while other mesh sizes remain available.

Decorative Wire Mesh Fence Panels

Decorative welded wire mesh fencing can be aesthetically pleasing and functional, being made similarly to double wire mesh or twin wire fencing. All these options utilize low carbon steel wires.

Fence Gates

Options for wire mesh fencing gates include standard pedestrian gates, double swing gates, and sliding gates, with sliding options equipped with electric motors and remote controls. All sliding gates also include track and guide rollers for smooth operation.

Fence Posts

To complete your welded wire mesh or chain link installation, you will need secure fence posts, which come with brackets, bolts, and nuts to facilitate installation. Steel post thickness ranges from 1.5mm to 2mm, or can be customized as needed.

2. The Benefits of 358 Mesh Fencing

Constructed from high-quality low-carbon steel wire, 358 mesh fencing features rectangular or square mesh openings and offers numerous advantages:

1) Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Made from galvanized wire, followed by powder coating, 358 mesh fencing resists corrosion brilliantly, ensuring longevity.

Galvanized wire enhances anti-rust properties; powder coating that follows galvanization provides double protection. Hot-dipped galvanized finishing can result in a lifespan exceeding 25 years.

All powder coatings utilize Akzo Nobel powder, creating a high standard of corrosion resistance while being environmentally friendly.

2) Strong Weldability: Low-carbon steel wire provides excellent weldability, allowing various shapes to be constructed and affording additional durability to panels.

Welds across all products must meet high durability standards, and trusting a professional manufacturer is essential for quality assurance.

3) Impressive Hardness: Crafted from premium steel wire, 358 mesh fencing is robust and resistant to bending, enhancing anti-climb security as mesh openings remain smaller.

This can provide elevated safety for designated areas, thanks to its strong hardness.

4) Simple Installation: Not requiring special tools, 358 mesh fencing can easily be mounted. Installation accessories typically include spider clamps or flat bars.

Also recognized as clear view fencing, the installation process can easily be completed using stainless steel bolts and nuts that require low maintenance.

5) Aesthetically Pleasing: Smooth and flat surface ensures that 358 mesh fencing adds visual appeal to residences and gardens while providing security.

6) Extended Service Life: The life expectancy of 358 mesh fencing is over 10 years, with each panel receiving zinc and powder coatings for added protection against rust and wear.

You can expect efficient and thoughtful service from Woda.

7) Maintenance Tips: Once installed, ensure ongoing maintenance to prolong fencing longevity. Regularly clean the fencing and address any damages promptly.

Proper storage in a dry, well-ventilated area is crucial for maintaining quality.
