2.4m High x 4.0m Wide 358 Prison Mesh Single Leaf Gate Kit
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. Its size allows access for small vans, cars, and forklifts, while its robust 358 Prison Mesh construction provides exceptional strength, visibility, and resistance to intrusion.
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.
