Gabion mesh is a durable and cost-effective wire mesh product designed for erosion control, slope protection, retaining walls, and riverbank stabilization. Manufactured from galvanized or PVC-coated steel wire, gabion mesh is assembled into flexible or rigid cages filled with stones or rocks. It is widely used in civil engineering, hydraulic projects, road construction, landscaping, and flood protection. With excellent permeability, structural stability, and corrosion resistance, gabion mesh provides reliable performance in various environmental conditions.

Classification
- Galvanized Gabion Mesh: Zinc-coated steel wire mesh providing corrosion resistance for retaining walls, riverbanks, and erosion control.
- PVC Coated Gabion Mesh: Plastic-coated wire mesh offering additional corrosion protection for coastal areas and hydraulic engineering projects.
- Galfan Gabion Mesh: Zinc-aluminum alloy coated wire mesh providing enhanced corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor applications.
- Hexagonal Gabion Mesh: Double-twisted woven wire mesh offering flexibility and durability for slope protection and riverbank stabilization.
- Gabion Mattresses: Low-profile wire mesh containers designed for riverbed protection, channel lining, and erosion control.
Features
- Strong and Durable: High-strength steel wire construction provides structural stability and resistance to external loads.
- Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized, Galfan, and PVC-coated finishes protect against rust, moisture, and environmental exposure.
- Flexible Structure: Double-twisted hexagonal mesh accommodates ground settlement and deformation without easily breaking.
- Excellent Drainage: Permeable stone-filled construction allows water to pass through, reducing hydrostatic pressure behind retaining structures.
- Cost-Effective: Uses readily available stone materials with relatively low installation and maintenance costs.
- Easy Installation: Flat-packed gabion cages are convenient to transport, assemble, connect, and fill with stones on-site.
- Wide Application: Suitable for riverbank protection, slope stabilization, retaining walls, flood control, road embankments, landscaping, and hydraulic engineering projects.
