Gabion mesh safety protection net, hooked wire mesh.

Gabion mesh with twisted wire mesh is a type of gabion mesh made using the twisted wire mesh weaving process, combining the characteristics of both twisted wire mesh and gabion mesh. Below is a detailed introduction:

• Material: Typically made from high-quality low-carbon galvanized steel wire, galvanized aluminum alloy steel wire, or the same type of wire with PVC or PE coating. Among these, galvanized steel wire offers certain corrosion resistance and relatively low cost; galvanized aluminum alloy steel wire provides stronger corrosion resistance and a longer service life; PVC or PE coated wire further enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsher environments.
• Specifications
  • Mesh Size: Common mesh sizes include 1 inch (approximately 25mm), 1.5 inches (approximately 38mm), 2 inches (approximately 51mm), 2.5 inches (approximately 64mm), 3 inches (approximately 76mm), 4 inches (approximately 100mm), etc., and can be customized according to actual needs.
  • Wire Diameter: The wire diameter generally ranges from 2.0mm to 5.0mm, selected based on the required strength and application scenario. Thicker wire diameters result in higher mesh strength.
  • Length and Width: There are no fixed standards for length and width; they can be cut or customized according to the specific requirements of the project. Typically, the length ranges from 1.0m to 50m, and the width ranges from 0.5m to 5.0m.
• Weaving Process: Woven by a twisted wire mesh machine, it can be divided into two weaving methods: folded edge with tightened loops and twisted edge with locked loops. This weaving process ensures uniform mesh openings, a flat surface, and excellent flexibility and impact resistance.
• Features
  • Flexible Structure: Gabion mesh with twisted wire mesh is flexible, allowing it to adapt to changes in slopes without damage, offering better safety and stability compared to rigid structures.
  • Strong Scour Resistance: Capable of withstanding high water flow velocities, up to 6m/s, effectively preventing erosion of riverbanks, slopes, etc., by water flow and waves.
  • Good Permeability: The presence of mesh openings allows for permeability, accommodating natural groundwater action and filtration. Suspended solids and silt in the water can settle into the gaps between the stones, promoting the growth of natural vegetation and gradually restoring the original ecological environment.
  • High Strength: The metal wire material itself has high strength, and the weaving method is robust, making it resistant to breakage. Even under external impact, the mesh surface is less likely to deform.
• Applications: Widely used in guardrail net facilities for roads, railways, highways, etc. It can also be used for fencing in poultry farming (chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits) and zoos, as protective netting for machinery and equipment. Additionally, when formed into box-shaped containers and filled with stones or other materials, it can be used to protect and support seawalls, slopes, road and bridge foundations, reservoirs, and other civil engineering projects. It is an excellent material for flood control and anti-flood measures. Other applications include handicraft manufacturing, warehouse protection, marine fishing barriers, and construction site fencing.
