Contraband Net
High-Security Anti-Contraband Mesh
Knitwire Trading (PTY) Ltd manufactures and supplies knitted wire Contraband Net for high-security applications where the prevention of unauthorised item transfer and unauthorised access is critical. The mesh is designed to provide a strong, small-aperture, and tamper-resistant barrier while maintaining good visibility for monitoring and surveillance.
Contraband Net is widely used in correctional facilities, secure government buildings, transport hubs, and other controlled environments requiring reliable physical security.
High-Security Knitted Wire Mesh
The knitted construction creates a dense network of interlocking loops that resists cutting, tearing, and deformation. The small aperture size makes it extremely difficult for items such as drugs, weapons, tools, or electronic devices to be passed through the mesh.
The smooth surface and flexible structure also provide anti-climb properties, reducing opportunities for gaining footholds or leverage.
Typical Applications
Contraband Net is commonly used in:
- Correctional facilities and detention centres
- Border control and customs areas
- Airports and transport terminals
- Government buildings and sensitive installations
- Secure partitions and internal segregation zones
The mesh can be installed as standalone barriers or integrated into existing security systems.
Materials and Manufacturing Options
Contraband Net is typically manufactured from:
- Stainless steel
- Specialist alloys for enhanced corrosion resistance or strength
Wire diameter and mesh density are selected based on the required balance between strength, aperture size, and visibility.
Width and Supply Format
Contraband Net is supplied in roll form or as fabricated panels. The maximum standard roll width is 1.2 metres, with lengths produced to suit customer requirements.
Custom panel sizes, edge finishing, and fixing solutions can be provided for specific installation methods.
