Over the years, Lochrin Bain has seen an increase in the popularity of mesh fencing systems. This type of fencing is extremely versatile due to its balance of security features and aesthetics and has become the primary choice for many different perimeter security applications across the UK.
In this article, our experts offer their own take on the primary uses and applications of our range of mesh fencing solutions.
Retail & Commercial Sites
For retail outlets and commercial sites, the Lochrin WaveGUARD™ stands out as one of the most cost-effective panel options available in the UK today. This product is a well-regarded mesh fencing solution that has been specifically designed for basic demarcation purposes.
The product incorporates profiled “V” beams for added rigidity and is available in 3-metre-wide panels, helping to reduce both labour and concrete by as much as 20% when compared to 2.5 metre wide panel systems. With its standard polyester powder coated finish to Green RAL 6005 or Black RAL 9005, Lochrin WaveGUARD™ can blend in seamlessly with its surroundings, offering a more natural look for your projects.
Sports Facilities
For sports facilities, Lochrin BallGUARD™ is our go-to mesh fencing option. This product has been specially developed to withstand high impacts, making it ideal for use around football pitches, tennis courts and other sports facilities where basic security is also required.
You can rely on Lochrin BallGUARD™ fencing to provide safety for both players and spectators whilst also providing a durable and long-lasting perimeter security solution.
Urban & Industrial Areas
Urban and industrial areas can benefit from the Lochrin FlatGUARD™ mesh fencing system. This product offers good levels of security without creating an obtrusive barrier, blending seamlessly into the surroundings. Its flat twinwire design is aesthetically pleasing and provides a non-intimidating perimeter security solution, making it a popular choice for industrial units, office blocks, and other urban/industrial areas requiring protection.
The Lochrin FlatGUARD™ system is also a popular choice for the inner compounds of utility sites, telecommunication facilities and railway infrastructure of the UK.
In addition to our standard Lochrin FlatGUARD™ system, we also offer the Lochrin FlatGUARD™ SL1 which is a security rated alternative featuring a heavier gauge of wire than our standard mesh systems along with a full height clamp bar for fixing the panel to post. This system is LPS1175 Issue 8: A1 (SR1) offering at least one minute delay to persistent attack using category A tools such as cable cutters, engineer’s hooks, glass cutters and pliers.
Security & High-Risk Areas
For areas requiring medium to high security, Lochrin 358™ mesh fencing is an ideal solution. This product is designed to be difficult to penetrate, providing a robust barrier against potential intruders. With smaller apertures than standard mesh panels, the Lochrin 358™ is difficult to climb, cut, or damage and provides good levels of security for both medium and high-risk areas such as commercial units, factories, government buildings, and hospitals.
For higher risk areas, you may wish to consider either our Lochrin 358™ SL1 variant which is an LPS 1175 A1 (SR1) rated mesh fencing system or our Lochrin UltraGUARD SL2 system which is LPS 1175 B3 (SR2) offering at least 3 minute delay. This particular system is ideal for a range of applications where higher security demarcation is required such as Data centres and high security commercial warehouses.

General Demarcation
For general demarcation requirements, Lochrin ExGUARD™ provides an expanded metal fencing system that is highly versatile and can be customised to meet specific security and design requirements.
The product was initially developed for the rail industry as an alternative to weldmesh and chain-link fencing whilst offering a maintenance free solution with an excellent design life guarantee. That been said, the product is still suitable for use on most other applications where general demarcation is required, such as schools, commercial units and hospitals.
Conclusion
The mesh fencing options available from Lochrin Bain cater to a wide range of applications, ensuring different levels of security, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you’re looking for mesh fencing systems for retail outlets, sports facilities and hospitals, or require higher levels of protection for high-risk areas, we have a solution to meet every need.
