POLMIL® Fencing
POLMIL® is our award-winning, truly unique temporary fencing system which has been utilised at some of the world’s most prestigious and security-sensitive events, like the London 2012 Olympics and the later Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Made up of highly secure 358 prison weld-mesh, it remains a temporary fencing system without the need for ground excavation and is relocatable as required.

Why choose POLMIL® fencing?
It’s exceptionally secure
Constructed from 6mm prison weld-mesh, the gaps in POLMIL® panels are incredibly small, making it almost impossible to climb and cut through. This provides a very effective deterrent from the outset, meaning that passers-by might even decide it’s not worth the hassle to try.
For sites where hostile vehicle intrusion attempts are a concern, you can also opt for the HVM POLMIL® system – which is specifically adapted to resist the high-impact forces associated with ramming vehicles.
It’s easy to install
High security doesn’t need to mean in-ground solutions.
Choose from a wide range of counterweight options, such as:
- Concrete ballast blocks
- SafeBlok™ supports
- WaterBlok™ ballast tanks
All of which allow for speedy and simple installation and movement if the needs of the site change.
There is a choice of accessories
To ensure those who do need access can still enter and leave without fuss, choose from compatible door panels as well as vehicle gates – all of which are available in 2.4m and 3m heights.
Plus, customers can choose from a range of POLMIL® fencing accessories, including:
- Bolt-on brackets for razor wire
- Anti-tunnel mesh
- Needle-top climbing deterrents
- Cover mesh
Buy or hire POLMIL® fencing from Blok ‘N’ Mesh
Sometimes, a standard temporary fencing panel won’t quite cut it. This is especially true for highly private or security-sensitive events with exclusive guest lists.
So, if you need a solution for an upcoming project, Blok ‘N’ Mesh can help.
As UK-based manufacturers of temporary fencing solutions, we’ve also developed the POLMIL® fencing range to meet stringent counter-terror security specifications for the 2021 Olympics – available to buy or rent as you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 358 prison weld-mesh?
358 prison mesh is designed to be extremely difficult to climb, as the mesh gaps are so small that trying to gain purchase is almost impossible.
This means that most people simply cannot climb this mesh, making it perfect for very secure sites, like prisons, or extremely exclusive events.
The 6mm thickness of the mesh also makes cutting the fence very difficult – stopping people from being able to simply cut their way through.
This increased thickness does not obscure visibility, however, meaning security staff can still actively observe what is happening on the other side of the fence, catching any problems before they have the chance to develop.

Why choose CPNI-assessed fencing?
The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, CPNI for short, delivers advice on protective security measures for the UK.
As a way of safeguarding national security, the CPNI has established a rating system for products that offer the highest perimeter protection levels.
POLMIL® fencing is CPNI-assessed and independently mob attack tested to the base level – making it a tried and tested temporary security perimeter fence system that is specifically designed for the world’s most prestigious and security-sensitive events, like the London 2012 Olympics.
To order POLMIL® fencing, call our sales team today – they will be able to place your order and help you with any other accessories you may need, including Kentledge Ballast blocks, pedestrian and vehicle gates, or anti-tunnelling mesh.
Is there a way to make secure fencing more of a deterrent?
Although extremely effective in its own right, POLMIL® fencing comes with multiple options designed to limit or completely deter unauthorised access, including:
- POLMIL® bolt-on T-bracket for razor wire
If your site is surrounded by low structures that could help trespassers to climb your fencing, consider the ultimate deterrent.
Long used in perimeter fencing, razor wire can be installed onto the POLMIL® fencing using bespoke T-brackets – giving a very visual reminder that your site is not suitable for looting.
- POLMIL® anti-tunnel mesh
If you have a problem with trespassers digging under fencing to gain access, consider installing anti-tunnel mesh.
Filling in the gap between the ballast footprints, anyone looking to trespass would have to tunnel much further down to gain access – putting most people off.
- POLMIL® needle top climbing deterrent
For sites that may be susceptible to unauthorised access because of climbing, consider our needle top fixing.
With 195mm “spikes” cut at 45 degrees, the needle top fixing can be added retrospectively and makes it very unlikely that intruders can pass over the top.
- POLMIL® cover mesh
To make the 358 prison mesh even more effective, you could consider installing mesh sheets over the gaps in individual panels – creating a seamless level of security.
This can stop intruders from trying to gain access through the gaps in the panels, which could be more vulnerable than anywhere else on the panel.

Is POLMIL® fencing easy to install?
Being so secure, you could be forgiven for thinking that POLMIL® fencing is difficult and time-consuming to install.
However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Just like other on-ground fencing systems, POLMIL® fencing can be erected without needing to dig channels, which makes installation much faster.
Just plan the location, place the Kentledge Ballast blocks or WaterBlok™ tanks in place and follow up with the POLMIL® fencing panels.
POLMIL® fencing also benefits from being simple to relocate – simply take the fencing down and move it to wherever you need it.
No mess, no fuss!
