The Apollo® 868 Twin Mesh Double Leaf Gate Kit provides a sturdy and dependable solution tailored to bolster security and streamline access control across a wide range of settings. It is ideal for industrial and commercial sites, schools, residential areas, businesses with extensive stock holdings, and power stations, and it creates the perfect entrance and exit to your Twin Mesh fencing system.

Features and Benefits

This gate kit is 0.9m high and available in widths from 2.0 to 10.0m making it ideal for pedestrian and vehicle access, depending on your site requirements. The double leaf gives you total control over access, with the choice of operating one or both leaves. The gates feature a distinctive 868 Twin Mesh structure formed of 8mm horizontal and 6mm vertical wires, which gives a perfect blend of visibility and defence, allowing you to see what is happening through the gate while deterring unwanted intrusion and preventing large items from being passed through the mesh gaps. The mesh construction provides a strong, hard-wearing gate and is a safe solution for areas where children may be present, such as schools or recreation areas.

The gates are made from pre-galvanised steel, which helps to prevent the development of rust; an additional protective layer of polyester powder can be chosen, which safeguards from corrosion and damage and gives a bright and colourful finish to the gate. The gates have mitred corners that are smooth and flush.

A Fully Modular System

The Apollo® 868 Twin Mesh Gate is a modular gate solution engineered for rapid hardware adjustments, facilitating easy and swift installation. The gates are universally handed, featuring centrally-welded mesh, eliminating fixed left or right-hand leaves. This provides on-site control to choose the orientation. This gives installation flexibility without the need for right or left-hand specifications; simply choose on the day which hand you require. Each gate comes pre-drilled with holes for easy installation of hardware. Plastic plugs are included to cover any unused holes.

The Apollo® 868 Twin Mesh Gate is highly versatile and suitable for different ground types. For harder ground like concrete, we recommend the bolt-down option. On softer ground, such as soil or turf, the dig-in format is more suitable. Please note that the dig-in option will require Post Mix to be added to your order, while the bolt-down format will require four M16 x 125mm Ground Anchor Bolts per post.

This gate range complies with BS 12604 safety guidance. It includes pre-drilled holes for easy installation of a Safety Tether, which can be added as an additional item to your order. With the tether installed, the gate meets DHF (Door and Hardware Federation) recommendations, ensuring the gate stays within 300mm of its vertical axis in case of top hinge failure. Additionally, a locking drop bolt can be added to your order, particularly for the double leaf gate.

Each kit comes with hinge posts, gate leaves, adjustable gate eyes, and ribbed inserts for the posts.

For security, add a First Fence Slider Kit, which complements all single leaf gates within the range. This kit includes a lasered surround, slam plate, retainer, slide bolt, guide plate, and other essential fixings. Or you can choose a Latch Deadlock Kit, Quick Exit Key Latch Kit (left or right hand), Quick Exit Digital Kit (left or right hand), Digital Single or Double Sided Kit, or a Deadbolt Kit. Add a Locking Plate which will make the gate more difficult to climb by minimising footholds, and a lockable drop bolt to keep your gate securely in the closed position. An Apollo® IFAM E-70 Padlock will add additional site security, fitting around the latch bolt and helping to prevent unauthorised access.

The Apollo® Gates can be used with the 868 and 358 twin mesh ranges from First Fence.
