Wire-Mesh Security Fence and Fence Panel
A wire-mesh security fence panel and security fence is provided. In at least on example the fence panel includes: a first set of substantially parallel wires, each wire having a first and a second end; a second set of substantially parallel wires, the second set of wires being welded across the first set on one picket-wire side of the first set; a cross-wire-side connection strip welded across the first end of the first set on the picket-wire side of the first set; and an opposite side connection strip welded across the second end of the first set on the opposite side of the picket-wire side. In one such example each connection strip has an outside edge and each outside edge is equally spaced from the end of the wires to which the strip is welded.
1 . A wire-mesh fence panel comprising:
a first set of substantially parallel wires, each wire having a first and a second end;
a second set of substantially parallel wires, the second set of wires being welded across the first set on one picket-wire side of the first set;
a cross-wire-side connection strip welded across the first end of the first set on the picket-wire side of the first set; and
an opposite side connection strip welded across the second end of the first set on the opposite side of the picket-wire side.
2 . A wire-mesh fence panel as in claim 1 , wherein each connection strip has an outside edge and each outside edge is equally spaced from the end of the wires to which the strip is welded.
3 . A wire-mesh fence comprising:
at least two wire-mesh panels, each panel comprising:
a wire-mesh fence panel comprising:
a first set of substantially parallel wires, each wire having a first and a second end,
a second set of substantially parallel wires, the second set of wires being welded across the first set on one picket-wire side of the first set,
a cross-wire-side connection strip welded across the first end of the first set on the picket-wire side of the first set, and
an opposite-side connection strip welded across the second end of the first set on the opposite side of the picket-wire side;
the picket-wire side connection strip of the first panel being connected the opposite-side connection strip of the second panel; and
the first end of the wires of the first set of a first of the panels substantially facing the second end of the wires of a second panel.
4 . A fence as in claim 3 further comprising a bolt having two ends, each end being inserted through a hole in a connection strip of the first panel and a hole in a connection strip of the second panel.
5 . A fence as in claim 4 , wherein each bolt end is threaded and further comprising a nut on each threaded end.
6 . A fence as in claim 5 further comprising posts connected to the connection strips.
7 . A fence as in claim 4 , wherein the hole in at least one connection strip comprises a slot.
