Advantages and Types of 358 anti-climb fence

358 anti-climb fence, known as high security fence, is a welded wire mesh fence designed to prevent climbing and cutting. The name '358' comes from the size of the mesh panels, which are 3 inches by 0.5 inches (76.2mm x 12.7mm) and the wire diameter is 8 gauge (4mm). This makes the fence extremely difficult to cut or climb as it is too small for fingers or tools to fit through.
