Edgesmith Ngaru Mesh 358

Product Class

Product Description

Ngarumesh 358 is a rigid wire mesh panel that combines high strength and security with a stylish modern look. The horizontal ripples both soften the look & add rigidity to the panel meaning that it can be installed without rails. 

The same cost as tubular steal or aluminium fencing but much higher security. Absence of horizontal rails reduces the climbing risk and increases visual penetration for security cameras.

Why is it called Ngarumesh 358? 'Ngaru' is the maori word for wave & '358' describes the dimensions of the mesh. The wire grid (centers) are 3 inches wide (75mm), 0.5 inches high (12.5mm) & made from 8 gauge steel wire. Hence Ngarumesh358.

Supported by a limited warranty.  Refer to web site for details.
