At Corden Perimeter Systems, we supply Cordguard twin wire panel systems designed to provide strong, durable, and cost-effective perimeter security for a wide range of applications across the UK.
Cordguard twin wire fencing, also known as 868 mesh fencing, is manufactured from 6mm vertical wires welded between twin 8mm horizontal wires, creating a rigid and highly secure mesh panel. This construction provides increased strength and resistance to damage, making it suitable for both security and boundary applications.
Panels and posts are supplied pre-galvanised and polyester powder-coated, with standard finishes in Green RAL 6005 and Black RAL 9005. Other colours are available on request to suit project requirements.
