The defining 358 pattern is 76.2 x 12.7 mm welded mesh with 4.0 mm wire on MaiFa's current product page. The small opening reduces usable finger and toe holds while maintaining visibility. A complete system still requires panel size, posts, fixings, foundations, gates, top/ground details and coating.

MaiFa publishes panel widths of 2000, 2200, 2500 and 3000 mm; heights from 1000 to 4000 mm; several square/rectangular post sections; 1.5 to 3.0 mm post walls; and hot-dip galvanized, Galfan or powder-over-galvanized finish options. Each project must select one coordinated combination.

Claim boundary: do not attach a vehicle-impact rating, attack-delay time or service-life promise to a generic 358 mesh panel. Any performance claim needs configuration-specific evidence covering posts, foundations, gates and installation.

A 358 panel schedule is only the start of a perimeter specification. The buyer should issue a layout showing straight runs, corners, ends, slopes, gates and any wall or service interfaces. For each location, the system drawing should identify the post, fixing method, post centre, ground clearance and foundation or baseplate interface. If toppings, privacy material, detection cable or lighting brackets are planned, disclose them before the structural and connection details are finalized. They may change loads, clearances or fabrication. Ask for one coordinated drawing and component schedule rather than separate panel and post brochures. The coordinated submission becomes the reference for quotation comparison, sample approval, production inspection and site installation without implying performance that has not been evidenced.

1. Select the panel and post together

Item	MaiFa published option	What the drawing must show
Mesh / wire	76.2 x 12.7 mm / 4.0 mm	Orientation, tolerance, edge and coating.
Panel width	2000, 2200, 2500 or 3000 mm	Finished width and post centres.
Panel height	1000 to 4000 mm	Height, ground gap and any stacked arrangement.
Post section	60 x 40, 60 x 60, 60 x 80 or 80 x 80 mm	Section, orientation, cap and interface.
Post wall	1.5 to 3.0 mm	Selected wall, tolerance and steel requirement.
Finish	HDG after welding, Galfan, or powder over galvanization	Coating sequence, colour and acceptance.

2. Define post spacing and foundations from site inputs

Provide fence height, panel width, wind, terrain, soil, top treatment, gate loads and attached equipment. The structural designer or project team should establish post and foundation requirements from those inputs. The supplier quotation should state whether posts are embedded, base-plated or wall-mounted and identify excluded civil works.

3. Detail the fixing system

Ask for a panel-to-post fixing drawing showing clamp, cover bar or bracket type; number and vertical position; bolt diameter/grade; tamper-resistant requirement; finish and installation method. The fixing quantity should be tied to each panel height, not described only as 'accessories'.

Confirm compatibility between post section, panel width and fixing system.
List spare bolts, clamps or cover bars separately.
Avoid exposed unprotected cut edges after field adjustment.
Check that fastener removal cannot create an unintended weak point where tamper resistance is required.

4. Make gates equivalent to the fence line

State clear opening, leaf arrangement, frame and 358 infill, gate posts, hinges, latch/lock, ground clearance, stops, drop bolts, automation and emergency-egress interfaces. Ask the drawing to show how the 358 panel terminates at the gate posts and how the ground/top details continue.

5. Quotation and evidence checklist

Section	Required information
Panels	Mesh, wire, finished dimensions, quantity, tolerance, edges and finish.
Posts/foundations	Section, wall, length, spacing, cap, interface, design inputs and responsibility.
Fixings	Drawing, parts, bolt specification, tamper resistance, quantity and spares.
Gates/toppings	Complete assemblies, interfaces and separate prices.
Evidence/QA	Approved drawings, requested material/coating records and any configuration-specific reports.
Packing/commercial	Panel/post protection, package weights, container plan, Incoterm, schedule and warranty scope.

Frequently asked questions

What defines MaiFa's 358 mesh?

The page publishes 76.2 x 12.7 mm apertures with 4.0 mm welded wire.

Which panel widths are listed?

2000, 2200, 2500 and 3000 mm.

Can posts be selected from height alone?

No. Wind, terrain, soil, spacing, gates and attached equipment also matter.

Does 358 mesh prove a specific impact rating?

No. A rating requires evidence for the exact tested system and foundation.

Request a complete MaiFa 358 system drawing

MaiFa can configure panels, posts, fixings and finishes from its published options. An approved system drawing and itemised BOM provide the clearest quotation basis.
