Apollo® 1.8m High x 8.0m Wide 358 Prison Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit

Apollo® 1.8m High x 8.0m Wide 358 Prison Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit

If you need a reliable, secure, and visually appealing gate for a wide opening, the Apollo 1.8m x 8.0m Double Leaf Gate Kit is a top-tier option. Purpose-built for environments that require both safety and smooth access for vehicles and pedestrians, this gate is well-suited to schools, parks, commercial premises, and public sector sites.

Tough Prison Mesh for Enhanced Protection

The gate is constructed using the renowned 358 mesh system, made from strong steel wires. This configuration forms a dense, rigid mesh that's extremely resistant to cutting, climbing, and deformation. The open nature of the mesh ensures clear visibility, making it ideal for areas where passive surveillance is essential, without compromising on appearance.

Spacious Entry Width for Larger Vehicles

With each gate leaf measuring 4.0 metres, this double gate offers a total clear width of 8.0 metres, making it suitable for large vehicle access, including delivery trucks, service vans, and utility vehicles. The universal hanging system means each leaf can be mounted on either the left or right, allowing flexible installation based on site layout.

Built for Strength & Style

The mitred corners of the gate frame provide additional structural reinforcement, ensuring a strong and professional-looking finish. These reinforced joints help the gate withstand frequent use and exposure to the elements, crucial for wide-span gates exposed to wind and daily traffic.

Corrosion Resistance & Custom Finishes

To guarantee long-term performance, the gate is manufactured from pre-galvanised steel that meets BS EN 10346 standards. It’s then treated with a polyester powder coating to BS 13438, protecting against corrosion, weathering, and UV damage. A wide selection of RAL colours is available, with custom finishes also possible to match branding or existing fencing.

Triple Hinge Design for Extra Safety

In line with BS EN 12604 and DHF recommendations, this gate includes a triple hinge mechanism. This feature adds an extra layer of security by preventing the gate leaf from falling in the unlikely event of a hinge failure, particularly important on wider gates such as this.

Flexible Security Options

The gate includes a sliding latch that can be secured with a heavy-duty padlock as standard. For sites requiring stricter access control, upgrades to digital locking systems or quick-release locks are also available, providing tailored security depending on your site's needs. Drop bolts are included for locking one or both leaves in place when open or shut.

Installation Choices and Fencing Compatibility

Whether you're working on soft ground or solid concrete, the Apollo gate comes with two options:

• Dig-in posts are best for soil, turf, or grassed areas (requires post mix)
• Bolt-down posts are ideal for hardstanding like concrete (requires anchor bolts)

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