The Apollo 2.0m High x 8.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit offers a robust and reliable solution for securing large access points without compromising on visibility, durability, or aesthetic appeal. Designed for commercial and public sector environments, this gate is perfectly suited to sites that require regular vehicle access, such as transport yards, industrial sites, schools, sports facilities, and public infrastructure.
This model stands at a secure two metres in height and spans a full eight metres in width, making it ideal for controlling entry and exit where wider openings are essential. The double leaf configuration allows each side to open independently or together, making it versatile for both vehicle and pedestrian use.
At the heart of the design is the proven 868 twin wire mesh configuration. This consists of 6mm thick vertical wires welded to two 8mm horizontal wires, producing a highly rigid and tamper-resistant structure. This type of mesh is widely trusted across the UK for its strength, anti-climb properties, and long-lasting durability. The open mesh pattern ensures clear visibility through the gate, enhancing passive surveillance and site safety.
Each gate leaf is manufactured with mitred corners, enhancing both structural strength and visual appeal. The leaves are universal in design, allowing them to be hung as either left-hand or right-hand opening, depending on site requirements. This flexibility simplifies installation and makes the gate suitable for a wide range of access scenarios.
The Apollo 2.0m x 8.0m double leaf gates kit also feature a triple hinge design, which is compliant to BS EN 12604 and the guidance set out by the DHF for preventing gate leafs from falling and causing injuries in the unlikely event of a single hinge failure.
The Apollo gate kit comes complete with all core components for standard installation, including two mesh gate leaves, a sliding latch, drop bolts, hinge sets, and a choice of dig in or bolt down gate posts. The only items not included are post mix (for dig in installations) or ground anchor bolts (for bolt down installations), which can be sourced separately. The gate is also compatible with additional mesh fencing accessories to maintain a consistent perimeter system.
This double leaf gate is available in a variety of polyester powder-coated colour finishes to match existing fencing and branding. The steel components are pre-galvanised in accordance with BS EN 10346 and finished with a high-quality powder coating to BS 13438. This provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term performance in outdoor environments.
For enhanced security and access control, the sliding latch can be padlocked, and the gate is compatible with a range of locking upgrades, including digital locks and quick-release options. This adaptability makes the Apollo gate suitable for both high-traffic and restricted-access areas.
Importantly, this gate is designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of fencing systems. It is fully compatible with 868 twin mesh fencing, 656 mesh panels, V mesh systems, Safe Top Mesh fencing, and other commonly used perimeter types. This makes it an excellent choice for retrofitting into existing fences or building a cohesive new fencing layout.
The Apollo 2.0m High x 8.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit is a reliable and flexible choice for professionals who need wide access with dependable security and a smart, consistent look across their site.
