Apollo® 1.8m High x 8.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit

The Apollo 1.8m High x 8.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit is a premium access solution designed for large openings that require reliable security and smooth operation. Constructed with strength, durability, and versatility in mind, this gate is the ideal choice for medium-security applications where aesthetics and performance go hand in hand.

The gate features the robust 868 twin mesh construction, comprising 6mm vertical wires overlaid by 8mm horizontal wires, forming a tight, rigid structure that resists tampering, cutting, and deformation. The open mesh design ensures visibility through the gate, which is especially useful in settings where surveillance and monitoring are required. It also avoids the harsh, industrial appearance of solid gates, making it well suited to public environments where presentation matters as much as protection.

With a height of 1.8 metres and a total width of 8.0 metres, this double leaf gate offers ample clearance for larger vehicles, including delivery trucks, utility vehicles, and maintenance equipment. Each gate leaf spans 4.0 metres, and thanks to the universal hanging design, either leaf can be fitted as left- or right-hand hung, giving installers maximum flexibility.

Designed with mitred corners, the gate frame gains extra strength and visual refinement. These reinforced corners improve the structural integrity of the gate—especially important at this wider span—ensuring reliable performance in high-traffic or weather-exposed locations. This attention to detail results in a secure, professional-looking perimeter that complements your fencing system.

Manufactured from pre-galvanised steel to BS EN 10346 standards, the Apollo gate resists corrosion and is built for longevity. It is then finished with a high-quality polyester powder coating to BS 13438, offering further protection against weathering and wear. The gate is available in a wide range of RAL colours, allowing you to match it seamlessly with existing fencing or your organisation's branding.

In order to meet the BS EN 12604 standards and the recommendations set out by the DHF, these double leaf gate systems feature a triple hinge design in order to prevent gate leafs from falling in the unlikely event of a gate failure. 

Security is further enhanced through the inclusion of a sliding latch, which can be secured with a standard padlock or upgraded to more advanced systems such as digital locks or quick-exit locks. These options make the gate adaptable to various levels of security need, from basic restricted access to regulated entry points.

This gate is compatible with numerous mesh fencing types, including 868 twin mesh, 656 mesh, V mesh, and many more, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofit projects. Choose between bolt down or dig in posts depending on the ground conditions—bolt down for solid surfaces like concrete and dig in for soil and grassed areas.

Typical applications for the Apollo 1.8m High x 8.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit include a wide variety of public and private sector environments. These gates are commonly used at school and college entrances, where controlled access and child safety are essential. They are also ideal for sports facilities and playgrounds, offering secure perimeter control without creating an intimidating appearance. In more robust settings, such as commercial and industrial access points, the gate provides a durable solution for managing vehicle and personnel movement. Local authorities frequently specify this style of gate for council-managed land and public parks, thanks to its blend of security and aesthetics. Additionally, it's well-suited to logistics yards, storage compounds, and utility service or maintenance zones, where large openings and consistent durability are required.

The Apollo 1.8m x 8.0m Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit combines premium materials, practical design, and reliable security. It’s a smart, long-lasting solution for securing wide access points while maintaining a clean, modern appearance.
