Apollo® 1.2m High x 6.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit

The Apollo 1.2m High x 6.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit offers a robust and reliable access solution for sites that require both security and visibility. Designed for areas with low to medium security needs, this twin mesh gate system is a popular choice for schools, industrial units, recreational areas, and commercial sites. Its double leaf design allows for versatile access management, accommodating both pedestrian and vehicle traffic with ease.

Built from 868 twin wire mesh, the gate is constructed using 6mm vertical wires and 8mm horizontal wires to form a rigid, tamper-resistant frame. This mesh arrangement is ideal for deterring intruders, as the small apertures make it difficult to scale or pass large objects through. Despite its strength, the gate maintains excellent visibility, which is essential for areas requiring surveillance or passive monitoring.

At 1.2 metres in height, this gate is designed to serve as a secure yet accessible barrier. The total width spans 6.0 metres, with each leaf measuring 3.0 metres, providing ample space for light vehicles such as vans, small trucks, and maintenance vehicles. The gate is supplied with hinge posts, which are available in either bolt-down or dig-in options depending on the type of ground it will be installed on. Bolt-down posts are recommended for concrete or surfaces, while dig-in posts are suitable for softer ground conditions like grass or soil.

This Apollo gate is manufactured from pre-galvanised steel in accordance with BS EN 10346, and it is finished with a high-quality powder coating that complies with BS EN 13438. The powder coating not only improves corrosion resistance but also allows the gate to be colour-matched to corporate branding or site-specific aesthetic requirements. A wide range of RAL colours is available to suit different environments.

The gate features a modular design, allowing for easy installation and compatibility with standard Apollo accessories. It comes with a sliding latch, which can be secured using a heavy-duty padlock. For higher security sites, optional digital locks or quick-exit digital systems can be added. The gate leaves are universal, meaning they can be hung as left- or right-hand as needed. To enhance structural strength and aesthetic appeal, each gate corner is mitred, giving the gate a professional, durable finish.

In terms of compatibility, this gate is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with a variety of fencing systems. It works perfectly with 868 Twin Wire Mesh Fencing, as well as other mesh types such as 656 Mesh Fencing, Safe Top Mesh Fencing, and V Mesh Fencing. Whether you’re installing a new perimeter or adding to an existing one, this gate provides a consistent and professional appearance.

For added safety, the gate complies with BS 12604 guidelines when installed with an optional Safety Tether, which can be purchased separately. This tether helps to keep the gate within 300mm of its vertical axis in the unlikely event of hinge failure, aligning with DHF (Door and Hardware Federation) safety recommendations.
