Types of Mesh Security Panels

Mesh security panels, often referred to as rigid mesh fencing, come in a variety of styles, each suited to different levels of security and aesthetic requirements. Despite similarities in appearance, not all mesh panels are created equal. Factors such as wire thickness and coating types significantly impact the panel's durability and performance. Always ensure your purchase comes with guarantees to prevent issues like rusting over time.

This blog focuses solely on permanent mesh security panels, excluding temporary fencing styles. We also do not cover specific security ratings in detail. The width of the panels can also affect installation time and overall strength.

It is worth also reading our blog on 'The Rise of Cheap Mesh Security Panels. Regardless of whether you’ve chosen the right style of fencing, if it’s cheaply made with minimal guarantees, it is likely to fail quickly.

Types of Mesh Security Panels

V Mesh Panels

V Mesh panels, also known as Euroguard Regular or V Profile Mesh, feature a pressed 'V' shape along the panel's surface. This design enhances structural stability, making the fence harder to climb. Typically used in applications requiring lower security, variations such as Euroguard Extra offer higher security options or where standard V mesh could be deformed, and privacy versions are also available.

656 Flatform Mesh Panels

656 mesh panels, also known as twin wire or Euroguard Flatform, are built with heavy-duty wiring. These robust panels resist tampering, making them suitable for commercial properties, industrial sites, and schools, where vandal resistance is crucial.

868 Flatform Mesh Panels

868 mesh panels have a thicker twin-wire construction, providing additional durability and resistance to cutting tools. Known as heavy twin wire or Euroguard Flatform Heavy, this type is ideal for industrial applications, such as factory perimeters and logistics centres, where strong barriers are necessary.

Mesh Security Panels with Privacy

Some mesh panels combine security with privacy and enhanced aesthetics. For example, Euroguard Combi incorporates treated slats into the mesh, offering both security and seclusion.

Sports and Rebound Mesh Panels

Rebound Mesh panels are designed for high-impact environments like sports courts and playgrounds. Reinforced at the lower section, these panels can withstand impacts from balls, making them ideal for multi-use game areas (MUGAs), tennis courts, and recreational zones.

358 Security Mesh Panels

Also known as Securi-Mesh, 358 mesh panels have tightly spaced wires creating a narrow structure often called "prison mesh." This anti-climb design is perfect for high-security areas such as prisons, warehouses, and zones requiring stringent access control.

Double Skin 358 Security Mesh

A more secure variant of 358 mesh, Double Skin 358, or Securi-Mesh Plus, features two layers of 358 mesh attached together, providing enhanced security.

UHS Mesh Styles

Ultra High Security (UHS) mesh panels are similar to Double Skin 358 mesh but with much thicker wires, offering even greater security. Various styles of UHS mesh are available, catering to different security needs.

Roll Top Mesh

Roll Top Mesh combines twin wire or V mesh with a rolled top. While commonly used in schools for lower-height fences, it is not recommended for higher fences as it does not deter climbing. For lower heights, other fencing or railing options are advisable.

Paladin and Decorative Mesh Fences

Decorative mesh styles, such as Paladin, provide additional design options for customers. These fences often feature unique elements like wavy tops or stripe effects, combining security with aesthetic appeal.

By understanding the different types of mesh security panels available, you can choose the right option that meets your specific security and aesthetic requirements.
