The true 358 panel - a 76 × 12mm aperture that's effectively finger-proof, virtually impossible to climb and extremely difficult to cut. Maximum perimeter protection for properties where security comes first.
76 × 12mm • 358 mesh
Why it's high security
High-security Clearview is what the industry calls a 358 panel, named after its 3" × 0.5" aperture (76 × 12mm). That single dimension is what does the work - and it's reinforced with four V-bends for rigidity and topped with thick vertical wire that defeats hand tools.
The 12mm-narrow gaps are too tight to grip or stand on, so there's nothing to climb - unlike palisade or rail fencing.
3mm horizontal and 4mm vertical galvanized wire, densely spaced, resists bolt cutters and standard hand tools.
Four 50mm-deep V-bends stiffen the panel, so it stays taut and stable - ideal for electric strands and alarms.

Where it's used
When the priority is keeping people out, high-security Clearview is the specification to reach for across the Garden Route.

Other security levels
High security is the tightest mesh. If you want a balance of protection and price, or mainly clean demarcation, the medium and low options may suit better.
Questions
The 76 × 12mm aperture. It's small enough to be effectively finger-proof, so there's no foothold to climb, and the dense, thick wire is extremely difficult to cut with hand tools. This is the true 358 specification.
Standard heights are 1.2m, 1.8m, 2.1m and 2.4m. Panels can be topped with anti-climb spikes and electric strands for extra height and deterrence.
Yes - specified with the Plascoat/PVC coating (minimum 600 microns over galvanized steel), it stands up to Garden Route salt air far better than plain galvanized.
Both. We supply high-security panels, posts, clamps and spikes for your own project, or handle the full supply-and-install with electric and gate add-ons.
