In Cuba, the metal fencing industry is currently facing a critical transition. The high salinity of the coastal air and extreme humidity lead to rapid oxidation of traditional metal wire fence systems, necessitating a shift toward advanced galvanization and PVC coatings to ensure longevity.
The demand for high-security barriers has surged particularly around industrial zones and government facilities. Standard fencing is no longer sufficient, leading to an increased adoption of the 358 mesh fence, known as "prison mesh," which offers anti-climb and anti-cut properties essential for modern security protocols.
Furthermore, the construction sector is integrating more specialized materials. The use of construction wire mesh is becoming standardized in reinforced concrete structures to combat the structural stresses caused by seasonal hurricanes and seismic activity in the region.
