358 security fence panels for Saudi Arabia critical infrastructure, correctional, and Vision 2030 project perimeters.
Named for its 3″ × ½″ (76.2 mm × 12.7 mm) mesh aperture, 358 fencing is the preferred anti-climb, anti-cut barrier for Saudi Arabia's most demanding secure perimeter applications — from Directorate General of Prisons facilities and Saudi Aramco plant perimeters to NEOM development zones and Red Sea Project compound boundaries.
- Anti-climb 76.2 × 12.7 mm aperture — no finger or toe holds, defeats most scaling attempts without additional topping
- 4.0 mm and 5.0 mm wire diameters resist standard bolt cutters — anti-cut performance for high-threat environments
- KSA climate rated: HDG zinc base + powder coat duplex handles extreme heat, sandstorm abrasion, and coastal humidity
- SASO compliance documentation — mill certs and test reports ready for Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organisation submissions
- Vision 2030 ready — NEOM, Red Sea Project, Diriyah Gate, and GACA airport perimeter specifications supported
Why 358 security fence is the preferred high-security barrier for Saudi Arabia
Correctional & Justice Facilities
Directorate General of Prisons perimeter specifications across KSA require 358 mesh as the baseline anti-climb barrier — the aperture geometry prevents escape attempts and resists damage from within.
Oil, Gas & Petrochemical
Saudi Aramco, SABIC, and Royal Commission Jubail/Yanbu industrial cities require 358 fencing for plant perimeters — HDG + powder coat duplex handles salt air and high-UV exposure in coastal and desert environments.
Vision 2030 Mega-Projects
NEOM, Red Sea Project, and Diriyah Gate development zones use 358 fencing for worker compound boundaries, security checkpoints, and VIP perimeter zones across desert and coastal construction sites.
Airport & Aviation Security
GACA-compliant 358 specifications for KAIA, KKIA, and regional airport airside and landside perimeters — integrates with CCTV pole systems, intrusion detection sensors, and razor wire or fence-topper toppings.

Choose the right finish route for your Saudi project environment
KSA environments range from extreme inland desert (high UV, sand abrasion) to coastal humid salt air. We match the finish system to the site.
Inland Desert — Riyadh, Najd
HDG base + standard powder coat (RAL 7037 desert grey or RAL 7016 anthracite). High UV resistance powder formulation. Sandstorm-rated — heavier powder coat thickness recommended for abrasion.
Coastal — Jeddah, Dammam, Jubail
HDG base + marine-grade powder coat duplex. Salt air exposure requires C5-M corrosion class. Anti-fingerprint and anti-graffiti top coat optional. Standard specification for Jubail Royal Commission sites.
Industrial — Jubail, Yanbu, Ras Tanura
HDG base + industrial-grade powder coat. Petrochemical exposure — specify chemical resistance additive. Heavy galvanising (90 µm min) + powder coat duplex for acid gas and hydrocarbon splash zones.
Construction Site — NEOM, Red Sea, Diriyah
HDG only or HDG + light powder coat for temporary installation. Reusable panel system preferred. Fast to erect and dismantle. Portable temporary fence bases (steel foot or counterweight) recommended.

Common questions about 358 fence for Saudi Arabia projects
What does "358" mean in 358 security fence?
358 fence is named after its approximate imperial mesh dimensions: 3″ × ½″ × 8 gauge. In metric this is 76.2 mm × 12.7 mm aperture with approximately 4 mm wire diameter. The name is used globally as shorthand for anti-climb high-security welded mesh fencing.
Is 358 fence the same as anti-climb fence?
Yes — 358 mesh is the most widely specified form of anti-climb security fence globally. The small 76.2 × 12.7 mm vertical aperture makes it impossible to get a finger or toe hold, defeating most climbing attempts without needing razor wire or electric fencing as a primary topping.
Can 358 fence be cut with bolt cutters?
Standard bolt cutters cannot efficiently cut 4 mm or 5 mm wire. The welded mesh geometry also makes it difficult to create a clean leverage cut. For higher-threat environments, the 5.0 mm heavy-duty specification and close-post spacing provide additional resistance.
What powder coat colours are available for Saudi Arabia?
Any RAL colour is available. The most common specifications for KSA are: RAL 6005 (forest green) for general landscape integration, RAL 7016 (anthracite grey) for modern industrial environments, RAL 9005 (jet black) for high-end residential and government projects, and desert tan/sand colours on request for desert site camouflage.
What is the minimum order quantity for 358 fence panels?
MOQ is 100 panels for standard configurations. Sample orders (1–10 panels) are accepted so buyers can verify quality and specifications before placing full project orders. Sample lead time is typically 5–7 days.
Do you supply installation drawings and technical documentation?
Yes — full CAD installation drawings, panel layout plans, post setting schedules, gate elevation drawings, and material take-off tables are provided with every order. We also supply BS EN 10223-7 compliance test reports and SASO-ready documentation packages.
Can 358 fence be combined with razor wire or electric fencing?
Yes — 358 panels are designed to integrate with a range of toppings: razor wire coil (single or double strand), flat-wrap razor panels, V-arm or Y-arm bracket systems, and electric fence energiser wires. We supply the complete fence system including topping brackets and gate extensions.
