Galvanized Low Carbon Steel Wire Gabion Box Mesh
1) DESCRIPTIONS OF the Double Twist Hexagonal Gabion Mesh
A double-twisted wire mesh is a non-raveling mesh made by twisting continuous pairs of wires through
three one half (1⁄2) turns (commonly called double-twisted) to form hexagonal shaped openings which
are then interconnected to adjacent wires to form hexagonal openings. We can supply double-twisted
hexagonal mesh in rolls of 1 x 50mtrs, 2 x 50mtrs, the widest can be 2.3mtrs. The wire mesh can be
used to protect rock fall.
GABIONS (Greater than 1' in height) and MATTRESSES (Less than 1' in height) consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a double-twisted hexagonal mesh. Filled with stones, gabions become large, flexible and permeable elements from which a broad range of structures may be built.
GABIONS or MATTRESSES are divided into cells with diaphragms (usually spaced at 1 meter or 3' intervals), whose function is to reinforce the structure. The mesh (except for the diaphragms) is reinforced on all edges with wires of a larger diameter to strengthen the gabions and facilitate the assembly and installation.
