Gabion mesh is made of hexagonal wire netting. Wire diameter varies with the hexagonal nettings. For hexagonal wire netting with no PVC coating, the wire diameter ranges from 2.0mm to 4.0mm. For those PVC coated hexagonal wire netting, the outside diameter ranges from 3.0mm to 4.0mm. The wire of the outside frame edge is one wire gauge thicker than the wire used for hexagonal wire netting.

Gabion materials are the following four types

• Galvanized steel wire: low carbon steel wire, wire diameter 2.0MM-4.0MM, wire tensile strength of not less than 380Mpa, hot dip galvanized steel to protect the surface, the thickness of the galvanized layer of protection according to customer requirements, plating the largest amount of zinc up to 300g / ㎡.
• Zinc - 5% (10%) of aluminum - mixed rare earth alloy steel wire, also known as Galfan steel wire, it is a new material emerging in recent years, corrosion resistance is three times more than traditional pure zinc, the wire diameter 1.0MM-3.0MM, wire tensile strength of not less than 380Mpa.
• Coated galvanized steel wire: high carbon steel wire, steel wire coated in a layer of PVC protective layer, and then woven into all kinds of wire mesh. This layer of PVC protective coating will greatly increase the protection of high pollution environment, and by the choice of different colors, so that it can and its surroundings.
• Zinc - 5% (10%) of aluminum - mixed rare earth alloy coated steel: -5% in the zinc (10%) of aluminum - mixed rare earth alloy wire coated with a layer of PVC protective layer, and then woven into all kinds of hexagonal . This layer of PVC protective coating will greatly increase the protection of high pollution environment, and by the choice of different colors, so that it can and its surroundings.

Gabion mesh Features:

• Economic. Just fill the stone into the gabions and seal it.
• Simple installation. No special technology needed.
• Weather proof under natural destroy, corrosion resistant.
• No collapse even under big scope of deforming.
• Sludge in the stones is good for plant growing. Mixed to form a integrity with the natural environment.
• Good permeation can prevent the damage by hydrostatic.
• Less transport freight. It can be folded together for transport and further installation.
• Flexibility is good: no structural joints, the overall structure of scalability.
• Corrosion resistance: galvanized materials are not afraid of water.

Gabion boxes applications:

• Control and guide of water or flood.
• Flood bank or guiding bank.
• Preventing of rock breaking.
• Water and soil protection.
• Bridge protection.
• Strengthening structure of soil.
• Protection engineering of seaside area.
