Best Wire Mesh for Compound Wall and Boundary Fencing

Which wire mesh is best for compound wall and boundary security fencing?

Short answer: Use 8 gauge chain link with a 2" or 2.5" opening for homes and offices, 3 mm GI welded mesh panels for factories, and add concertina wire on top for maximum security.
For compound walls and boundary security, the right product depends on your security requirement. Chain link fencing (also called diamond mesh or chain jali) in 8 gauge, 2" or 2.5" aperture is the standard for residential and commercial compound walls - heights of 1.5m to 2.4m are common. For higher security (factories, warehouses, industrial sites), use GI welded mesh panels in 3mm wire, 50x50mm aperture which is harder to cut than chain link. For maximum security perimeters, add concertina razor wire coils on top of the chain link or welded panel fence. PVC coated chain link (green or black) is preferred for residential and institutional applications as it looks better and lasts longer than plain GI.
