Why choose Armex twin mesh

Clean, professional finish. Twin horizontal wires give an ordered appearance that suits commercial environments where looks matter. Often preferred over V mesh where the site is flat and level.
High rigidity. Twin horizontal wires clamped to vertical bars make an exceptionally rigid panel that resists flex and deformation over the long term.
Anti-tamper fixings. Tamper-resistant fixings make unauthorised panel removal significantly harder.
Two gauges. 656 (6-5-6) is the lighter, cost-effective option for standard commercial boundaries. 868 (8-6-8) is the heavier gauge for higher-security or more demanding applications.
Low maintenance. Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2022 and powder coated in Green (RAL 6005) or Black (RAL 9005).

Twin Wire Mesh Fencing – 868 & 656 Panels FAQs

What is the difference between 656 and 868 twin mesh?

656 twin mesh (6-5-6) uses lighter gauge wire and is a cost-effective option for standard commercial boundaries. 868 twin mesh (8-6-8) uses 8mm horizontal wires either side of a 6mm vertical wire, giving greater rigidity and impact resistance for higher-security or more demanding sites.

What is the difference between twin mesh and V mesh fencing?

Twin mesh uses dual horizontal wires for a rigid, uniform look and is best on flat, level sites. V mesh uses a profiled wire that allows stepping on uneven ground. For level commercial sites where appearance matters, twin mesh gives the cleaner finish.

Do you have gates to match twin mesh fencing?

Yes. Our Armex868 single and double leaf gates are made from 868 twin mesh and match all Armex fencing in green or black.
