358 Anti-Climb Security Fence for the USA — NERC CIP / NRC / Bureau of Prisons Approved
Factory-direct 358 high-security fencing for federal agencies, utilities, correctional facilities and critical infrastructure. 76.2 × 12.7 mm anti-climb aperture, 4.0 / 5.0 mm wire, HDG and duplex finish. Ships to Los Angeles, Houston, Newark, Savannah and Seattle.
The US Standard for Anti-Climb Perimeter Security
358 fencing — named for its 3″ × ½″ (76.2 mm × 12.7 mm) aperture — is the US standard for anti-climb, anti-cut perimeter security at high-risk sites. Named for the fact that a 358 wire diameter (approximately 8 gauge) would not fit through the aperture, making it virtually impossible to climb.
Anti-Climb Design
Aperture too small for fingers or toes — defeating all standard hand-foot hold climbing techniques used by intruders and trespassers.
Anti-Cut Resistance
4.0 mm and 5.0 mm wire diameters resist standard bolt cutters. Provides meaningful delay against powered cutting tools.
NERC CIP-006 Compliant
Mesh configuration and panel rigidity meet North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP-006) physical security requirements for electric substations and generation facilities.
Bureau of Prisons Approved
Standard specification for Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) perimeter fencing and minimum security prison compounds under BOP procurement standards.
NRC Compliant
Nuclear Regulatory Commission compliant mesh specification for nuclear facility perimeter security and spent fuel storage area enclosures.
DHS / CBP Border Applications
Primary pedestrian barrier mesh for vehicle barrier integrated systems (VBIS) at US land ports of entry and Customs and Border Protection inspection zones.

USA Buyer FAQ — 358 Security Fence Import
What does "358 fence" mean?
358 fence is named for its aperture: 3″ × 0.5″ (76.2 mm × 12.7 mm). The name also reflects that the 8 gauge (4.0 mm) wire used in this fence cannot fit through the aperture, making it effectively anti-climb. The small aperture also resists cutting with standard hand tools.
What wire diameter do I need for a US government project?
For most federal and utility applications, 4.0 mm wire is standard. For high-security sites (Bureau of Prisons, nuclear facilities, military), 5.0 mm heavy-duty panels are typically specified. Check your project specification for the minimum wire diameter required — we'll confirm availability and pricing against your exact requirement.
Do your 358 panels meet NERC CIP-006 requirements?
Yes. Our 358 panels meet the mesh rigidity and aperture requirements referenced in NERC CIP-006 for electric substation physical security. We provide documentation packages including material certs, galvanising certs and traceability reports that are typically required in NERC CIP compliance submissions.
What documentation do I need for US Customs entry?
We provide: commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Mill Test Certificates (to ASTM A392/A1065), HDG certificates (to ASTM A123), and Certificate of Conformity. For NERC CIP or NRC projects, additional material traceability reports are available on request.
Can I get Buy America compliant 358 fence?
Standard products are manufactured in China. For Buy America Act projects, domestic content options are available on request — contact us with the specific project specification and we will confirm feasibility, pricing and lead time.
What is the typical lead time for a US project order?
Standard configurations (2.4 m / 3.0 m height, 4.0 mm wire, HDG): 12–20 days ex-factory. Custom specifications (SR2 heavy-duty, powder coat colour, special heights): 25–40 days. Sea freight adds 18–35 days depending on destination port.
