CoreMet Steel is a UK-based steel and fencing supplier serving global markets, providing 2D 868 double rod fence panels for high-security, commercial, and industrial perimeter protection. Our rigid mesh panels deliver excellent strength, anti-climb performance, and long-term durability, making them ideal for high-security and demanding environments.

We supply complete 2D fencing systems including panels, posts, and fixings, with reliable global delivery and export support tailored to project requirements worldwide. Compared to systems such as 3D panel fencing and 358 high security fencing, 2D 868 fencing offers superior strength and rigidity for high-security environments.

2D 868 double rod fence is a heavy-duty welded mesh fencing system with an 8/6/8 mm wire configuration, featuring twin horizontal wires and a single vertical wire. This structure provides enhanced rigidity and impact resistance compared to standard mesh fencing panels.

The mesh design (typically 200 mm x 50 mm apertures) offers strong perimeter security while maintaining visibility, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications.

Its flat panel design without V-bends ensures a clean appearance and consistent performance in high-security environments.

The main difference between 2D 868 and 2D 656 fencing is the wire thickness and overall strength.

2D 868 double rod fencing features an 8/6/8 mm wire configuration, making it a heavy-duty solution with higher rigidity and impact resistance. It is commonly used in high-security environments such as industrial sites, infrastructure, and sensitive facilities.

In comparison, 2D 656 fencing uses a 6/5/6 mm wire configuration, offering a lighter and more cost-effective option. It is suitable for general perimeter applications such as commercial areas, schools, and residential projects.

Overall, 2D 868 fencing provides greater strength and security, while 2D 656 fencing is preferred for standard applications where cost efficiency is important.
