Apollo® 1.8m High x 3.5m Wide 868 Twin Mesh Single Leaf Gate Kit

The Apollo® 1.8m x 3.5m Single Leaf 868 Twin Mesh Gate Kit is built to offer a strong, safe and secure access point for locations requiring extra clearance—whether for service vehicles, multi-user access lanes, or high-traffic pedestrian zones. Its tall frame and 3.5m width make it suitable for use in environments such as schools, commercial properties, parks, and industrial estates.

With its height, robust steel build, and robust mesh design, this gate helps deter intruders while supporting long-term, low-maintenance performance across a range of site conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

868 Twin Mesh Infill

This gate features 868 twin wire mesh, made from two 8mm horizontal wires with a 6mm vertical wire running in-between them. The result is a tough, tamper-resistant panel that stands up to cutting, impact, and vandalism attempts.

The openings within the mesh panel are small enough as to make ineffective foot and finger holds for potential intruders attempting to gain access to your site by climbing. The apertures are still large enough however, to provide a high level of visibility for additional security systems such as CCTV.

Durable Steel Frame and Professional Finish

Manufactured from high-grade pre-galvanised steel, the frame is finished with a polyester powder coating that resists corrosion, wear, and weather damage. Available in a wide selection of RAL colours, this finish allows you to match your gate to existing fencing or create a visually distinctive entrance.

All corners of the gate leaf are neatly mitred, eliminating sharp edges and giving the gate a smooth, professional finish. This also helps improve on-site safety for staff and visitors alike.

Locking Drop Bolt 

Included as standard is a locking drop bolt, designed to provide secure positioning of the gate leaf when open or closed:

• Keeps the gate securely shut when not in use, reducing the chance of forced entry.
• Allows the gate to be safely held open, especially useful for deliveries, equipment movement, or prolonged foot traffic.

This feature is particularly important for wider gates, where added stability and control are essential for both safety and site operations.

Modular, Site-Friendly Installation

Designed as part of a fully modular system, the Apollo® gate is quick to install and compatible with a variety of mesh fencing types:

• Universal Handing – Install to open left or right on-site without needing to pre-select the handing.
• Pre-Drilled Fixing Points – All mounting holes are precision-drilled for fast, efficient installation of hardware and accessories.
• Plastic Caps and Plugs Included – These keep out debris and water while maintaining a clean, professional look.

The gate is fully compatible with 868, 656 and 358 mesh fencing, ensuring continuity in your perimeter security solution.

Suitable for A Variety of Ground Types

Whether your gate will be installed on concrete or natural ground, you can select the appropriate post type:

• Bolt-Down Posts – Best for hardstanding areas such as concrete or tarmac. Requires 4x M16 x 125mm ground anchor bolts per post (sold separately).
• Dig-In Posts – Ideal for turf or soft ground. Use with Post Mix to secure in place (please see recommended quantities when placing your order).

Triple Hinge Support System

This 3.5m-wide gate includes a triple hinge arrangement to improve weight distribution and operational safety. Should one hinge fail, the remaining two are capable of bearing the gate’s weight, helping prevent injury or damage. This system also allows for smoother movement of the larger gate leaf.
