What is Anti-Climb Mesh? Anti-climb mesh is a type of high-security fencing made from tightly spaced wire mesh panels designed to prevent climbing, cutting, and breaching. It is commonly used in security-sensitive areas like prisons, military sites, utilities, schools, and commercial properties. ________________________________________ Key Features: 1. Tight Mesh Aperture: o Typical mesh size: 76.2 mm x 12.7 mm (3“ x 0.5“) o Prevents fingers and tools from getting a grip, making it nearly impossible to climb or cut. 2. Material: o Usually made of galvanized steel wire, often with a polyester powder coating for added corrosion resistance. 3. High Strength: o Welded joints and rigid panels add strength and resistance to cutting with standard tools like bolt cutters. 4. Visibility: o Despite its density, the mesh provides good visibility for surveillance systems (CCTV-friendly). ________________________________________ Common Applications: • Correctional facilities (prisons, jails) • Military and government sites • Power stations and water treatment plants • Airport and transportation infrastructure • Schools and sports grounds • Commercial buildings and warehouses ________________________________________ Benefits: • Climb resistant: Tight mesh prevents toe or finger holds. • Cut resistant: Small openings hinder tools like pliers or cutters. • Tamper resistant: Hard to dismantle without specialized tools. • Long-lasting: Resistant to weather and rust. • Low maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep once installed. ________________________________________ Installation & Customization: • Available in various heights (usually 2.4m to 5.2m or more). • Can be installed with or without barbed wire or razor coils. • Comes in modular panels for quick installation. • Often used with anti-tamper bolts and security fixings. ________________________________________ Types of Anti-Climb Mesh: 1. 358 Mesh (“Prison Mesh“) o 3“ x 0.5“ x 8 gauge wire o Ideal for highest security needs 2. 3510 Mesh o Similar design with slightly larger spacing o Suitable for medium security areas 3. Double skin mesh o Two layers of mesh panels for added strength and cut resistance
