Woven Wire Mesh for Durable and Versatile Solutions
Woven Wire Mesh for Durable and Versatile Solutions
Woven Wire Mesh
Woven Wire Mesh is an interlocking mesh design of two connecting wires that are twisted together 2.5 times (3 half-turns) creating a strong mesh pattern that will not ravel. The process is an extremely flexible, strong, and resistant manufacturing technique that is resistant to tearing apart even during cutting. The mesh is made in panels (base, sides, lids) and fitted together into gabion formations.
Gabion Box Components (Durable and Versatile Gabion Box Solutions)
Base Panel
Primary structural mesh panel that forms the base of the gabion unit and carries the full stone load.
Lid Panel
Removable top mesh panel used to close the gabion after filling and to lock the stone in position.
Diaphragms
Internal mesh partitions that divide the basket into cells, improving stability and controlling stone movement.
Selvedge Wire
Thicker border wire providing edge strength, e.g. 3.4 mm selvedge combined with 2.7 mm mesh wire.
Lacing Wire
2.2 mm wire used to lace and assemble panels together, ensuring tight connections along all edges.
Fasteners
C-rings or clips that mechanically connect adjacent panels and speed up on-site installation.
Bracing Ties
Diagonal internal wires that prevent bulging of the mesh faces during and after stone filling.
Sack Gabions
Cylindrical gabion units designed for rapid filling and placement, ideal for emergency works and river training.

Coating
Coatings prolong lifetime of gabions, which include corrosion resistance, UV-resistance as well as resistance to harsh environment. Standards are used to establish the type of coating, resistance to corrosion, tensile and permanence with environment
ASTM 975
The ASTM standard emphasizes parameters like coating mass and tensile strength for gabion boxes and mattresses
| Coating | Style | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Galvanized | Style 1 | ASTM 641 Class 3 |
| Zn–5% Al | Style 2 | ASTM A856 Class 3 |
| PVC | Style 3 | ASTM 975 (0.5 mm thickness) |
| Al | Style 4 | ASTM A809 |

Diameter of Wire to Selvedge Wire Diameter
Wire Diameter
Mesh wires are either 2.03.9 mm, and selvedge wires are 2.44.9 mm to increase the strength of the edge. Selvedge wires enhance rigidity, do not deform when filled and have enhanced durability with environmental loads of long term.
- Mesh Wire (2.03.9 mm): Preponderating body of the gabion.
- Selvedge Wire (2.44.9 mm): Strengthens sides.
- Greater Stability: Decreases distortion and increases service life.
Accessories
Gabion accessories are the necessity of structural stability and correct assembly, as well as long-term performance. Mesh panels are laced with wires (2.2 mm) and equipped with 3.0 mm fasteners to allow the faster installation process. Braces (2.2 mm or 3.0 mm) ensure form and stop external protrusion during pressure. The combination provides general strength and efficiency in installation.
- Lacing Wires (2.2 mm): To tie and fix panels.
- Fasteners (3.0 mm): allow more rapid mechanical assembly.
- Bracing Ties (2.2 / 3.0 mm): Avoid deformation and enhance stability.
BS EN Standard
The BS EN standard presents new requirements of composing complex coating and durability to guarantee that the gabion mesh will work in hard conditions. It incorporates corrosion test, chemical exposure resistance and measurement of material quality to increase the structural life span in the coastal, industrial and high moisture applications.
- Salt Spray Resistance: Guarantees extended corrosion protection.
- SO 2 Exposure: Evaluates the test resistance under contaminated air.
- Stainless Steel Requirements: Specifics corrosion-resistant grades that are of high strength.
- Poly amide (PA) Coating: Provides UV and abrasion protection
