Project Introduction
Correctional facilities require the highest level of perimeter security because they must prevent unauthorized escape attempts, unauthorized entry, and security risks around restricted areas.
In 2026, Hebei Bendin Industrial Technology Co., Ltd. (BDFENCE) supplied a complete 358 Security Fence system for a correctional facility perimeter protection project in Australia.
The project required a high-security anti-climb fencing solution around prison buildings, restricted zones, vehicle access areas, and security control sections.
BDFENCE provided customized 358 Fence panels, heavy-duty steel posts, security gates, and complete fixing accessories to create a reliable multi-layer perimeter protection system.

Project Background
High Security Requirements
The customer was upgrading the perimeter protection system of an existing correctional facility to improve security performance and reduce long-term maintenance requirements.
The facility included:
- Prison buildings
- Restricted operation areas
- Security monitoring zones
- Vehicle inspection areas
- Staff access points
The customer required a fencing system that could:
- Prevent climbing attempts
- Resist cutting attempts
- Support security monitoring
- Maintain long-term outdoor durability
Why Traditional Fencing Was Not Enough
Traditional welded mesh fencing could not provide sufficient security performance for this application.
The project required:
- Higher anti-climb capability
- Stronger welded structure
- Better visibility for surveillance
- Higher perimeter protection level
After technical evaluation, the customer selected 358 Security Fence as the primary perimeter protection solution.

Challenges of This Correctional Facility Project
Preventing Unauthorized Climbing
One of the biggest security challenges was preventing climbing attempts.
The fence system needed to eliminate easy hand and footholds while maintaining clear visibility.
Maintaining Security Monitoring Visibility
Correctional facilities require continuous monitoring around the perimeter.
The fencing system needed to balance:
- High security protection
- Clear camera visibility
- Easy patrol inspection
Long-Term Outdoor Performance
The facility required fencing that could operate reliably under Australian outdoor conditions.
Environmental factors included:
- Strong sunlight
- Seasonal rainfall
- Temperature changes
- Long-term outdoor exposure

- Reinforced corner posts
Manufacturing Process of 358 Security Fence System
For a correctional facility security project, every component of the fencing system must meet strict quality requirements. BDFENCE controlled the complete manufacturing process to ensure reliable performance and consistent quality.
Raw Material Inspection
Before production, all raw materials were carefully inspected.
The inspection included:
- Steel wire quality
- Wire diameter accuracy
- Steel strength
- Surface condition
Only qualified materials were used for the 358 Security Fence production.
Automatic Welding Production
The 358 fence panels were manufactured using professional welded mesh equipment.
The automatic welding process ensured:
- Accurate mesh opening
- Strong welding points
- Consistent panel dimensions
- Stable structural performance
Panel Processing and Finishing
After welding, each fence panel went through additional processing steps.
The production process included:
- Panel edge finishing
- Surface preparation
- Dimension inspection
- Coating preparation
Surface Treatment Process
Because the correctional facility fence needed to operate outdoors for many years, BDFENCE applied a dual protection coating system.
The treatment included:
- Hot dip galvanizing
- Polyester powder coating
This surface protection system improved resistance against:
- Rain exposure
- Humidity
- UV radiation
- Outdoor corrosion
Quality Control Process
High-security fencing requires strict inspection because every detail can influence the final security performance.
Fence Panel Inspection
BDFENCE inspected each production batch for:
- Mesh opening accuracy
- Panel dimensions
- Welding quality
- Surface appearance
- Structural stability
Post System Inspection
The supporting structure was inspected to ensure it could withstand long-term outdoor conditions.
Inspection included:
- Post dimensions
- Steel thickness
- Surface treatment
- Installation accessories
Gate Quality Testing
Security gates were tested before shipment.
The testing process included:
- Gate opening operation
- Frame alignment
- Hinge performance
- Locking system function
Final Shipment Inspection
Before loading containers, BDFENCE verified:
- Product quantity
- Fence panel quality
- Gate operation
- Accessory completeness
- Packaging condition
Security Performance of 358 Fence System
The 358 Security Fence system was designed to provide multiple layers of perimeter protection for the correctional facility.
Anti Climb Protection
The narrow mesh opening makes it extremely difficult for unauthorized persons to gain footholds or handholds.
Compared with traditional fencing systems, 358 Fence provides:
- Reduced climbing opportunities
- Higher intrusion resistance
- Better perimeter security
Anti Cut Performance
The dense welded mesh structure also improves resistance against cutting attempts.
The combination of:
- Small mesh opening
- 4.0mm steel wire
- Strong welded joints
creates a stronger security barrier.
Security Monitoring Visibility
Although the fence provides a high security level, the open mesh structure maintains excellent visibility.
This allows security teams to:
- Monitor perimeter conditions
- Maintain CCTV visibility
- Perform regular inspections
Packaging and International Delivery
The project required international transportation from China to Australia. BDFENCE prepared professional export packaging to ensure safe delivery.
358 Fence Panel Packaging
Fence panels were packaged using:
- Steel pallets
- Protective film
- Corner protection
- Reinforced straps
Gate and Accessory Packaging
Small components and gate accessories were packaged separately.
This helped:
- Prevent missing parts
- Simplify installation
- Improve unloading efficiency
Container Shipment
The complete project was shipped in:
12 × 40HQ containers
The shipment included:
- 358 security fence panels
- Steel posts
- Security gates
- Fixing accessories
Installation and Project Results
The local installation team completed the project according to BDFENCE technical recommendations.
The modular design of the 358 fence system improved installation efficiency and ensured consistent appearance around the entire correctional facility.
