By Popular Demand: Apollo® 2.4m Wide Mesh Gates
When it comes to protecting your premises, choosing the right access solution is just as important as selecting the right fencing system. At First Fence, we specialise in strong, reliable mesh security gates designed to deliver long-term performance, durability, and professional presentation.

Made from two 1.2m pedestrian gates and held together with a sturdy galvanised steel frame, our new range of 2.4m wide gates is ideal for access control. Find out more about how these gates can enhance your security and look professional for a variety of locations.

What is an Apollo®  Gate?

Manufactured from premium galvanised steel and finished with a protective powder coating, our Apollo® mesh gates are built to withstand corrosion, harsh weather, and everyday wear. The result? A secure, long-lasting solution that maintains its appearance and structural integrity for years to come.

Whether you’re securing a school, sports facility, commercial premises, industrial site, or a secure environment, our mesh gate range provides dependable access control and seamless integration with your existing fencing system.

What Options Are Available?

In our new 2.4m wide Apollo® gates, we have the following size options:

  • 1.2m (1200mm) 868 mesh
  • 1.5m (1500mm) 868 mesh
  • 1.8m (1800mm) 358 or 858 mesh
  • 2.0m (2000mm) 358 or 858 mesh
  • 2.4m (2400mm) 358 or 858 mesh
  • 3.0m (3000mm) 358 or 858 mesh

Each one is available with a choice of installation options (select dig-in for soft ground, or bolt-down for hard ground), and a Polyester Powder Coating (PPC) finish in various RAL colour options.

What is the Difference Between 868 Twin Mesh and 358 Prison Mesh?

Every site has different security requirements. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of mesh gate options to suit varying levels of protection and functionality.

868 Mesh (Twin Wire)

Also known as twin wire mesh, 868 mesh gates are ideal for medium-security projects. With their rigid twin horizontal wire construction, they provide strength without compromising visibility. These gates are commonly paired with 656 mesh fencing systems and are popular for schools, business parks, and public spaces.

358 Mesh (Prison Mesh)

Often referred to as prison mesh, 358 mesh gates are designed for high-security environments. The small aperture mesh design makes them extremely difficult to climb or penetrate, making them a trusted solution for critical infrastructure, utilities, and other high-risk locations.

This flexibility ensures you can achieve controlled access for everything from foot traffic to large vehicles, without compromising security.

Where Can Apollo®  Gates Be Installed?

Our mesh gates suit a variety of environments, including:

  • Schools & Education Facilities: Create safe, controlled access for pupils, teachers, and visitors
  • Commercial & Industrial Premises: Regulate entry to parking areas, pedestrian routes, and service yards
  • Sports Facilities & Public Parks: Guide pedestrian movement while maintaining smooth foot traffic flow
  • Residential Communities: Deliver secure, attractive entry solutions for shared spaces
  • Public Services & Utility Sites: Safeguard boundaries while ensuring authorised maintenance access
