Description
What is a 280 Wire Fence?
A 280 wire fence (globally recognized in metric engineering as the 868 double wire fence or twin wire fence) is an extra-rigid welded mesh barrier engineered to withstand high dynamic impact and prevent vandalism.
The designation “280” describes its dimensional and wire gauge profile:
-
2 Inches × 8 Inches (50 mm × 200 mm): Rectangular mesh opening dimensions
-
2 × 0 Gauge (8.0 mm): Dual horizontal reinforcing wires sandwiching the vertical wire
-
1 × 4 Gauge (6.0 mm): Solid vertical core steel wire
By securing every vertical wire between two heavy-duty horizontal steel wires, the twin-wire architecture forms a rigid grid that resists bending, cutting, and forced climb attempts while maintaining clear sightlines for CCTV monitoring and public safety.
Key Performance Advantages of 280 Wire Fence
-
Superior Structural Rigidity: Twin parallel 8.0 mm horizontal wires prevent panel sagging and resist mechanical levering or vehicle impacts.
-
Anti-Cut & Anti-Vandal Resistance: Heavy-gauge low-carbon steel wires resist standard manual cutting tools and bolt cutters.
-
Unobstructed Sightlines & Aesthetics: The open 50 × 200 mm rectangular pattern ensures high visual transparency for school supervision, sports tracking, and infrared perimeter sensors.
-
All-Weather Corrosion Protection: Available in heavy Hot-Dip Galvanized (ISO 1461) or electro-galvanized with architectural AkzoNobel Polyester Powder Coating / PVC Coating for decades of maintenance-free service.
-
Modular Rapid Installation: Pre-drilled matching posts and heavy-duty steel clamp bars accelerate on-site assembly, lowering project labor costs.
