Mesh Fencing

Mesh fencing gives a commercial or industrial perimeter genuine physical security while keeping sightlines open across the boundary — a welded mesh panel line rather than a solid barrier, well suited to sites where visibility matters as much as keeping people out. Every run is fabricated to measure, built around your actual site rather than a fixed panel size. Call 02089116000 for a free quote, or read on for what to think about before you order.

Mesh Grade and Aperture

Mesh fencing is available in a range of aperture sizes. A more open weave maximises visibility across the boundary, while a tighter weave adds climb and cut resistance for sites where security is the greater priority. Tell us about the site — its use, its visibility requirements, and how much of a deterrent it needs to present — and we’ll advise on the right mesh grade.

Built to Your Perimeter

Rather than fitting your site to a fixed panel width, we fabricate the run to your actual perimeter length, planning post positions around any corners, gates, or changes in ground level as they really exist on site — not as they’d appear on a standard panel layout.

Posts: Hinge, Receiver or Line

Fencing runs use line posts along straight sections, with hinge and receiver posts positioned specifically where gates are fitted. Posts can be bolted down onto existing hard standing or dug in and concreted for a new installation — we’ll advise which suits your ground conditions.

Matching Gates

Most mesh fencing runs include at least one gated opening. Our mesh double gate and mesh sliding gate ranges are built in matching mesh grades and finishes, so the fence line and its gates read as a single, consistent installation rather than separate purchases.

Finishes

As standard, panels and posts go through hot-dip galvanising first, with a polyester powder coat then available in any RAL colour to suit your site or corporate branding.

Where Mesh Fencing Is Used

School and hospital perimeters, sports facility surrounds, industrial and warehouse sites, and any commercial boundary where keeping sightlines open is as important as the physical barrier itself. Where an imposing, traditional security appearance matters more than visibility, our palisade fencing achieves a comparable level of protection with a more solid, deterrent presence.

Made to Measure

Send us your perimeter length, the height you need, and any corners or gated openings, and we’ll confirm mesh grade, post spacing and finish before manufacture.

Nationwide Supply and Installation

Wherever you’re based in the UK, we can fabricate and deliver a complete mesh fencing run for your site, and fit it for you too if that’s easier than arranging your own installer. Phone 0208 911 6000 to talk through your perimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What mesh aperture sizes are available for welded mesh panel fencing?

Mesh aperture size varies by panel specification. Common options include 50mm x 50mm, 76mm x 50mm, and 50mm x 25mm grids. Smaller apertures provide a higher security rating and reduce finger or footholds for climbing, while larger apertures allow greater visibility through the fence line.

What panel heights are available for industrial and commercial perimeter fencing?

Welded mesh panels are typically available in heights ranging from 1.2m to 3.0m, with taller options on request for high-security compounds. The required height will depend on the level of deterrence needed and any site-specific security requirements.

Can welded mesh panels be combined with anti-climb toppings?

Yes. Welded mesh panel fencing can be supplied with or without additional anti-climb measures such as cranked top extensions, barbed wire arms, or razor coil. These are fitted above the panel line and are commonly used on industrial compounds and utility sites where perimeter deterrence is a priority.

What post types are used with welded mesh panel fencing?

Panels are typically fixed between steel posts, which may be supplied as intermediate posts, corner posts, or end strainer posts. Post specification depends on panel height and wind loading. We can confirm the correct post section for your site once the panel specification is known.

How are welded mesh panels fixed to the posts?

Panels are generally secured using anti-tamper fixings or standard bolt-through clamps depending on the security level required. Anti-tamper fixings reduce the risk of unauthorised panel removal and are commonly specified for industrial and utility compound perimeters.

Can welded mesh panel fencing be powder coated in different colours?

Yes. Panels and posts are available galvanised as standard, with powder coating in any RAL colour on request. The most common finish for commercial and industrial fencing is polyester powder coated green or black over a galvanised base.

Is welded mesh panel fencing suitable for sloping or uneven ground?

Yes. Panels can be stepped or raked along sloping ground to follow the site profile. Contact us with details of the gradient and overall run so we can advise on the best panel and post arrangement for your site.

What are typical use cases for welded mesh panel fencing?

Welded mesh panel fencing is commonly used for industrial estates, commercial compounds, utility substations, school perimeters, car parks, and secure storage yards. It provides a balance of visibility, deterrence, and defined boundary control without creating a fully solid barrier.

Does smaller mesh aperture reduce visibility through the fence?

Smaller apertures slightly reduce visibility compared to larger grid spacing, but welded mesh panel fencing generally retains good sightlines compared to solid panel fencing. If visibility is a primary requirement, a larger aperture such as 76mm x 50mm may be more suitable.

Can welded mesh panel fencing be fitted with a pedestrian or vehicle gate to match?

Yes. Matching pedestrian and vehicle gates can be supplied using the same mesh panel specification and post system, allowing a continuous perimeter with controlled access points. Gates can be hung left or right-hand to suit the site layout.
