868 & 656 Twin Mesh Fencing for Commercial Sites
Fencepoint supplies Armex 868 and 656 twin wire mesh fencing to contractors and construction companies across the UK. A rigid, clean-finish perimeter fencing solution for flat commercial and industrial sites — available in a range of heights with fast nationwide delivery.
Also known as twin wire fencing or double wire mesh fencing, the Armex 868 and 656 systems take their names from their wire gauges — 8-6-8 and 6-5-6 respectively — giving a uniform, professional appearance ideal for commercial developments, car parks and industrial estates. Whether you’re securing a new site, replacing an existing boundary or tendering for a fencing contract, our panels and posts are held in stock and ready to ship.
Common applications
Armex 868 and 656 twin mesh is one of the most widely used commercial fencing systems in the UK for flat, level sites. Common uses include:
- Commercial and retail developments
- Car parks and logistics yards
- Industrial estates and business parks
- Schools and sports facilities
- Residential site boundaries
- Utilities and infrastructure sites
Why choose Armex 868 & 656 twin mesh fencing?
- Clean, professional finish — The dual horizontal wire design gives twin mesh a uniform, ordered appearance that is particularly well-suited to commercial environments where aesthetics matter. Often preferred over V mesh where a flat, level site allows a cleaner installation.
- High rigidity — Twin horizontal wires clamped to vertical bars create an exceptionally rigid panel structure. This rigidity makes the system resistant to flex and deformation, maintaining its appearance and integrity over the long term.
- Anti-tamper fixings — Each panel is secured using tamper-resistant fixings that make unauthorised removal significantly more difficult, providing a reliable deterrent on commercial perimeters.
- Choose your specification — 868 (8-6-8) twin wire is the heavier gauge option, offering greater rigidity and impact resistance for higher-security or more demanding applications. 656 (6-5-6) offers a lighter-weight, cost-effective alternative for standard commercial boundaries.
- Corrosion resistant and low maintenance — Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2022 and available powder coated in Green (RAL 6005) or Black (RAL 9005). Built for long-term performance with minimal maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 868 and 656 twin mesh fencing?
868 twin mesh (8-6-8) uses heavier gauge wire — 8mm horizontal wires with a 6mm vertical wire — giving greater rigidity and impact resistance. It is the preferred choice for higher-security or more demanding commercial applications. 656 twin mesh (6-5-6) uses lighter gauge wire and is a cost-effective option for standard commercial boundaries where the heavier specification isn’t required.
What is the difference between twin mesh and V mesh fencing?
Twin mesh uses dual horizontal wires clamped to vertical bars for a rigid, uniform appearance — best suited to flat, level sites. V mesh uses a crimped, profiled wire pattern that allows stepping on uneven terrain. For flat commercial sites where aesthetics matter, twin mesh typically gives a cleaner finish. For sites with undulating ground, V mesh is usually the better choice.
