The gabion network is hexagonal mesh woven with metal wire, and the diameters of the used metal wires are different along with different sizes of the hexagons. If the metal wire hexagons are galvanized, the wire diameter is 2.0 to 4.0mm, and if the hexagonal mesh is woven by PVC coated metal wires, the external diameter of the PVC (metal) wires is 3.0 to 4.5mm. The wires for edges are heavier.
Product Characteristics:
1. Economy: Put stones in the mesh and then close the opening;2. Convenient construction: Unnecessary special technology;3. Quite high capability of resisting natural destruction, corrosion and extreme climate;4. It will not be collapsed while it is seriously deformed;5. The sludge in the gaps between stones in the mesh is helpful for growth of plants, so that it can be melted into the ambient environment;6. Good penetrating property and prevent damage caused by hydrostatic force;7. Save transportation cost; and it can be folded for convenient transportation and then assembled in the construction site.
