This 2.4m high x 4.0m wide Single Leaf Prison Mesh Gate is purpose-built for locations requiring a highly secure access point for vehicles.

Key Features and Benefits

High-Security Mesh Construction

This gate features 358 Prison Mesh, also known as Prison Mesh, which uses closely spaced 4mm diameter wires (horizontal and vertical) welded at each intersection. With tight apertures, this mesh is:

• Resistant to climbing, cutting, and vandalism
• Designed to prevent objects from being passed through
• Built to maintain high visibility for staff and security systems

This makes it an ideal choice for police stations, commercial sites, schools, airports, and correctional facilities.

Polyester Powder Coated Finish

To enhance its durability, the gate is finished with a polyester powder coating. This protective layer helps defend against:

• Weather damage
• Corrosion
• Vandalism

Available in a range of colours, this coating also allows you to match your gate with company branding or blend it into the surrounding environment.

Ground Installation Options

The type of gate posts you use will depend on the ground conditions where the gate will be installed:

• Hard Ground: Use Bolt Down Posts
• Soft Ground: Use Dig-In Posts

Selecting the appropriate post type ensures the gate is securely anchored and structurally sound.

Please note that post mix and anchor bolts are not included and should be purchased separately, depending on your installation type.

Functionality and Use

This gate functions both as a secure entry point and a physical barrier. When closed, it works seamlessly with mesh fencing systems to protect your site from unauthorised access.

Secure Closure System

Included in your gate kit:

• Drop Bolt
• Sliding Latch Bolt

For enhanced protection, you can also add a Heavy Duty Padlock via the customisation options. This additional lock provides extra security against forced entry.

Note: To attach your gate to a mesh fencing system, you will require additional M8 x 40mm bolts and mesh fencing clips (sold separately).

What is 358 Prison Mesh?

Often referred to by its imperial measurements (3” x 0.5” x 8 gauge), 358 Prison Mesh is recognised for its:

• Unmatched strength and rigidity
• Excellent visibility
• High resistance to tampering and damage

These characteristics make it a go-to choice for applications requiring the highest levels of security.
