Apollo® 1.2m High x 4.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit

The Apollo 1.2m High x 4.0m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate offers a strong, secure, and flexible access solution that pairs seamlessly with a wide variety of mesh fencing systems. Constructed using the robust 868 twin mesh format—8mm horizontal wires intersected by 6mm vertical wires—this gate provides exceptional durability while maintaining high levels of visibility. It is ideal for low to medium security applications, making it a popular choice for public areas such as schools, playgrounds, sports facilities, and commercial premises.

The Apollo gate’s closely spaced mesh panels act as a strong barrier that is difficult to climb and cut, with small apertures that prevent objects from being passed through. This makes it an effective deterrent against intruders and a safe, dependable option for areas where both visibility and access control are critical. Its intimidating yet professional appearance adds to its effectiveness in securing a site.

With a 4.0m clear opening, this double leaf gate allows controlled vehicle access for cars, small vans, and forklifts. The two gate leaves can be opened individually or together depending on the site's access requirements. For security, both drop bolts can be engaged and the sliding latch bolt secured. Additional peace of mind can be achieved by incorporating a heavy-duty padlock or digital lock.

What sets the Apollo range apart is its thoughtful and reliable design:

• Modular compatibility with sliding latches and lock options, including padlocks, digital keypad locks, and quick-exit mechanisms.

• Universal hanging leaves, allowing the gates to be installed left- or right-hand hung based on your configuration.

• Mitred corners for added structural strength and a professional, seamless look.

• Available in bolt down or dig-in post styles, suitable for both hard and soft ground installations.

• Powder-coated finish in a range of standard and custom RAL colours, improving corrosion resistance and site visibility. Non-standard colours are subject to additional lead times.

This Apollo gate also conforms to BS EN 12604 safety guidance when installed with an optional Safety Tether. The tether helps prevent over-extension in the rare event of top hinge failure, keeping the gate within 300mm of its vertical axis as recommended by the DHF (Door and Hardware Federation).

While the kit includes essential components such as gate leaves, hinge posts, drop bolts, adjustable gate eyes, and post caps, items like ground anchor bolts and post mix will need to be purchased separately. We also recommend adding mesh clips and bolts when attaching the gate to existing fencing systems for full stability.
