Gabion wire mesh is made of metal mesh
What Is Gabion Wire Mesh?
Gabion wire mesh is made of metal mesh. The hexagonal design makes it very strong. People often fill gabion mesh with materials such as rocks, sand, or soil for various purposes of use. One of the most common uses of gabion mesh is for erosion control. Depending on the surface treatment, gabions are available in galvanized and PVC coated options. CiTTi Mesh offers gabion mesh in different wire sizes to meet the different needs of our customers.
Galvanized VS PVC Coated Gabion Wire Mesh
PVC-coated gabion baskets. Galvanized gabion is covered with a zinc layer, which has strong corrosion resistance. The maximum zinc coating thickness can reach up to 300 g/m2.
PVC-coated gabion is coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which can extend its service life. Also, the PVC coating provides better resistance to weather and UV rays. Moreover, it has more colors to choose from. The popular colors include green, black, white, etc.
Woven VS Welded Gabion Box
Welded wire mesh has a smooth surface and uniform mesh, which is more aesthetic and stronger. Also, welded gabions are more resistant to corrosion. We have welded gabion boxes available in square and rectangular mesh hole shapes. It is popular for retaining wall structures, landscaping & architectural structures, etc.
Woven gabion is made by twisting wires into hexagonal wire netting, which has more flexible structures. It is mainly used for retaining wall structures, erosion and scour protection, etc. Below are pictures of the flexibility test of woven and welded gabion baskets.
How To Choose Gabion Wire Mesh?
As an experienced gabion basket manufacturer, we suggest choosing gabion wire mesh according to its applications and use purposes. You need to take the product material, wire diameter, opening size, coating, and processing technique into consideration.
As mentioned, woven wire mesh is flexible and soft to adapt to various environments. It can keep its strength and integrity even under great stress and strain so that it is suitable for rockfall protection barriers, slope stabilization, etc. While welded gabion mesh excels in aesthetic applications. So it is commonly used for landscape architecture, decorative cladding, retaining walls, etc. If you want more color options and you have enough budget, PVC-coated gabions will be your best choice. Except that, you also need to choose the mesh size, opening size, and wire diameter. For example, gabion mattress is shorter than gabion baskets, which is useful for erosion control. If you are looking for gabions for river protection and bridge protection, gabion mattress will be a better choice.
