SR1 (A1) 358 Mesh Fencing
SR1 (A1) 358 mesh fencing is designed for projects that require a defined level of resistance to forced entry together with clear visibility across the perimeter.

LPS 1175 SR3 (C5) Combined Mesh and Palisade Fencing

CombiGuard is designed for projects requiring a substantial level of resistance to forced entry. The complete system complies with LPS 1175 SR3 (C5) Issue 8 and BS 1722 Parts 12 and 14.

The system combines 2.5mm nominal-thickness vertical steel pales with a close-aperture 10X mesh panel positioned between the palisade framework. Steel RSA rails, IPE or universal-beam posts, fishplates or cleats and security fixings form a reinforced perimeter assembly.
At heights above 3000mm, the mesh extends beyond the maximum 3000mm palisade height, providing a continuous high-security barrier up to 5200mm overall.

Key Benefits of SR3 (C5) High Security Fencing

SR3 (C5) security performance

The complete system complies with LPS 1175 SR3 (C5) Issue 8, providing a recognised classification for demanding perimeter-security specifications.

Heavy-duty steel framework

The system uses multiple 50mm x 50mm x 5mm RSA rails plus two 100mm x 50mm x 6mm RSA rails per standard bay. IPE or universal-beam posts are selected according to the fence height.

Close-aperture 10X mesh

The mesh uses 4mm horizontal and 10mm vertical wires at 76.2mm x 12.7mm spacing. This narrow format restricts grip and access while retaining visibility through the perimeter.

Tamper-resistant security fixings

High-grade T-head bolts, cup-square bolts and security nuts connect the pales, rails, cleats and stabilising components, helping protect critical system connections.

Heights up to 5.2 metres

CombiGuard is available from 2400mm to 5200mm high. On systems above 3000mm, the mesh continues above the palisade section to achieve the required overall height.

Durable galvanised and coated finish

Steel components are hot-dip galvanised or pre-galvanised as specified and polyester powder coated to a minimum thickness of 100 microns. Moss Green and Black are the standard colours.
