Protecting your Perimeter with 358 Anti-Climb Mesh Fencing
At Hampden, one of our most popular high security products is our 358 Anti-Climb Rigid Mesh Fencing. Virtually impossible to climb, this design of fencing is used around the world for a wide range of applications thanks to its exceptional strength, erection simplicity and intrusion-resistant anti-climb properties.
Why is 358 unclimbable?
It is the extremely small rectangular spacing of the horizontal and vertical 4mm wires that makes 358 unclimbable by making it almost impossible to fit fingers or toes through the gap in order to gain purchase and climb.
Ideal for many applications
358 is designed to provide the highest level of security and protection from commercial properties through to government sites with uses from fencing and enclosures to window grills and safety barriers.
It provides the perfect perimeter protection for applications such as:
Detention Facilities: Prisons, youth justice centres, psychiatric hospitals
High Security Areas: Embassies, Military and Police facilities, other sensitive at-risk sites
Utilities: Power sub-stations, water treatment facilities, telecommunications
Restricted Areas: Airports, goods delivery areas and seaports
Infrastructure: Railway, motorway, balustrade walkways, bridge barriers
While also suitable for other applications such as:
Architectural: Facades and screens
Industrial Commercial: distribution centres, internal enclosures
Retail: Shopping centres, carpark buildings
Animal Enclosures: Zoos, dog pounds
Recreational: Sports grounds, community centres
Educational Facilities: Schools, university campuses
how 358 got its name
Interestingly, it gets its name '358' from its measurements: 3-inch x 0.5-inch x 8 gauge. In metric, this equates to 76.2mm x 12.7mm, Wire Diameter: 4mm (Gauge 8).
7 Reasons why you should choose 358
1. Resistance to attack
Robust wire, spot welded joints at every intersection and the narrow spacing make 358 practically impossible to cut with conventional bolt or wire cutters.
2. Excellent viewing visibility
Despite the narrow spacing between wires, 358 still provides vision to detect any persons close to the fence. When viewed head on, or even at an angle, the ‘see-through’ characteristics remain unimpaired. This is especially important for clear camera surveillance.
3. Attractive in its simplicity
Despite its utilitarian function, 358 is stylish in its simplicity and lends itself well to attractive architectural installations.
4. Outstanding stability
Because of its rigidity and minimal resistance to wind, 358 is very stable. This makes it ideal for use with electronic detection systems and alarms. It’s also an excellent choice when strain tension end-anchors can’t be used, such as on rooftop and walkway protection applications.
5. Extreme strength and durability
The unique double vertical design gives 358 significantly more strength. Its robust construction means 358 provides low maintenance, long life protection. In fact, Hampden covers 358 Anti-Climb Rigid Mesh fencing with a 5-year warranty.
6. Galvanised after fabrication
Unlike many other anti-climb fencing products, 358 is galvanised after fabrication, which guarantees all welded joints are protected from moisture. This effectively eliminates weld-point rust, ensuring unparalleled quality and longevity.
7. A choice of finishes
Hampden’s 358 is hot-dip galvanised. It can also be powder-coated to almost any colour you choose.
