GuardForce® - 358 Welded Mesh Fencing
GUARDFORCE® BLUEDOG FENCes
GuardForce® is our proprietary 358 welded mesh fence system. It has been principally designed to prevent unauthorised access to high hazard or value assets, such as rail corridors, correctional facilities, substations and airports. The standard arrangement is a 2400mm high sheet secured with tamper resistant fixings to specially designed posts and top and bottom rails. 358 mesh denotes vertical wires resistance welded at 3 inch (75mm) centres, horizontal wires at 0.5 inch (12.5mm) centres using a 8 gauge (Ø4mm) wire. The tight wire spacing makes the panel very hard to climb without the aid of tools and time consuming to cut.
At the same time the mesh maintains a high level of surveillance through the fence to assist detection and recording of intruders. The fencing is combined with our heavy duty hinges and Bolt’nLock® locking hardware for an integrated solution.
All steel work is hot dip galvanised after fabrication and the wire of the mesh panel has a zinc alloy finish making the assembly highly corrosion resistant.
