What does "358" mean in 358 mesh fencing?

The name refers to aperture dimensions: 3-inch horizontal (76.2 mm), 0.5-inch vertical (12.7 mm), and 8-gauge wire (4 mm). These tight apertures make it impossible to gain a climb grip.

What height is 358 mesh available in Sydney?

Standard heights are 1.8 m, 2.0 m, 2.4 m, and 3.0 m. Most Sydney commercial installations use 2.4 m panels. Taller custom panels or razor coil toppings can be added for maximum-security sites.

Is 358 mesh suitable for NSW schools?

Yes. 358 mesh is widely used in NSW schools. The tight mesh prevents climbing and meets NSW Education Department security guidelines for perimeter fencing.

How does 358 mesh compare to chain link?

Chain link provides obvious climb holds via diamond apertures. 358 mesh presents a near-flat rigid surface that cannot be climbed without specialist equipment and is harder to cut with basic bolt cutters.

What does 358 mesh fencing cost in Sydney?

358 mesh fencing typically costs $120–$220 per lineal metre installed in Sydney, depending on height, footing depth, and security topping. We provide free itemised quotes for all projects.

What Makes 358 Mesh the Gold Standard in Security Fencing?

358 mesh—also called prison mesh or anti-climb mesh—takes its name from its panel apertures: 3 inches wide by 0.5 inches tall (76 mm × 12.7 mm), made from 8-gauge (4 mm) high-tensile welded wire. Those tight vertical apertures make it physically impossible to insert a finger or toe, which is why it is the first choice for NSW schools, Sydney data centres, utility substations, and correctional facilities. Unlike chain link, 358 panels present a near-flat, rigid face that cannot be climbed without specialist equipment.

Our team at Fencing and Landscaping Experts has installed 358 mesh perimeters across greater Sydney—from Western Sydney industrial estates in Blacktown and Penrith to critical infrastructure sites in the Hills District and Sutherland Shire. We work with building owners, project managers, and facility teams to design systems meeting your specific security level, selecting post-spacing, footing depth, panel gauge, and security toppings such as razor coil or anti-cut arms.

Powder-coated panels are available in any Dulux or Interpon colour to match corporate branding or blend with surroundings. Standard panel heights range from 1.8 m for commercial sites up to 3.0 m for the highest-security installations. We can combine 358 mesh infill with palisade or RHS posts for hybrid solutions, and all installations include concrete footings, steel posts, and a manufacturer's product warranty.
