868 Twin Wire Mesh Fencing Kits
What is 868 Twin Wire Mesh?
868 twin wire mesh (often written 8/6/8) refers to the wire thickness: two 8mm horizontal wires welded either side of a 6mm vertical wire. This creates a flat, rigid panel that’s tough to deform and well suited to medium to higher-risk perimeter security where you still want visibility.Why Choose 868 Twin Wire Mesh Kits?
868 twin wire is popular because it combines high rigidity, impact resistance, and a clean, professional finish. Compared with lighter mesh systems, the twin-wire construction makes panels harder to cut and helps the fence line stay straighter over time—ideal for busy commercial and industrial sites.What’s included in an 868 twin wire fencing kit?
Buying a kit keeps specification simple because you’re ordering a compatible system rather than separate parts. Your kits are sold as complete packages (exact components shown on each product), typically including:- 868 twin wire panels
- Posts to suit the height/system
- Fixings/clips for secure installation
868 vs 656 twin wire, which is best?
If you’re choosing between the two, the difference is mainly wire gauge:- 656 (6/5/6) is a strong all-rounder for many perimeters.
- 868 (8/6/8) is the heavier-duty option, often chosen when you want extra rigidity and robustness.
