Apollo® 2.4m High x 3.5m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Single Leaf Gate Kit
Product Description
Apollo® 2.4m High x 3.5m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Single Leaf Gate Kit
Constructed using the trusted 868 twin mesh configuration, the Apollo 2.4m High x 3.5m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Single Leaf Gate Kit is a durable and secure access solution. It's ideal for areas where strength, visibility, and controlled entry are essential. Designed to match seamlessly with various mesh fencing systems, this gate provides reliable access control for both pedestrian and light vehicle entry.
This gate combines a high level of rigidity with excellent visibility. The 2.4m height offers a greater level of security, while the wide 3.5m leaf allows for the passage of large maintenance equipment, bicycles, groundskeeping tools, or even small vehicles such as forklifts or service vans. The open mesh design is also ideal for surveillance, allowing sight lines through the fencing while still acting as a strong deterrent against intrusion.
Key Features of Mesh Gates
- 868 Twin Mesh Construction: Manufactured with 6mm vertical wires and twin 8mm horizontal wires for enhanced strength and anti-vandal performance.
- Modular Design: Supplied with a standard sliding latch plate, which can be secured using a padlock or upgraded to a digital lock or quick-exit lock.
- Enhanced Safety Three-Hinge System: Fully compliant with BS EN 12604, our gates feature three hinges to ensure that even if one hinge were to fail, the gate leaf will not detach or fall, providing critical protection and peace of mind.
- Universal Hanging: The gate can be configured as left-hand or right-hand hanging for maximum installation flexibility.
- Pre-Galvanised Steel to BS EN 10346: Offers excellent rust and corrosion resistance before coating.
- Polyester Powder Coated to BS 13438: Adds an attractive and protective layer, available in a wide range of RAL colours.
- Compatible with Multiple Fence Types: Seamlessly integrates with 868 Twin Mesh, 656 Twin Mesh, V Mesh, and Safe Top Mesh fencing systems.
- Available in Bolt Down or Dig-In Options: Can be securely installed on either solid surfaces (e.g., concrete) or soft ground (e.g., soil, grass).
- Low Maintenance: Once installed, it requires very little upkeep, making it a cost-effective long-term investment.
Where can Apollo Mesh Gates be used?
The Apollo 2.4m x 3.5m gate is an excellent choice for a wide range of low to medium-security environments, offering both durability and visual appeal. Thanks to its robust construction and wide access, it is particularly effective in areas that require controlled pedestrian or equipment movement.
This gate is frequently installed around schools and universities, where a secure yet non-intimidating perimeter is important. Its open mesh design provides good visibility for monitoring while ensuring students and staff remain safe within the premises.
It is also well-suited to industrial estates and factories, providing a reliable access point for staff, deliveries, and maintenance equipment. The gate’s strong frame and anti-climb mesh design help to deter unauthorised access and protect valuable assets.
Public parks and playgrounds benefit from this gate’s balanced design—strong enough to provide security without disrupting the open, welcoming atmosphere of recreational spaces. Likewise, sports grounds and leisure centres make use of their generous width to accommodate sports equipment, groundskeeping tools, and groups of people moving in and out.
Additionally, the Apollo gate is a practical solution for utility sites and service yards where safety, access control, and visibility are all essential. Its 2.4m height offers a higher level of protection, while the 3.5m width ensures larger items or small vehicles can pass through with ease.
Offering rigid twin-wire construction and clear sightlines, this profile is a preferred specification for secure healthcare site access points, ambulance bays, and staff car parks.
