Gabion mesh is known as by different shape of gabion box, gabion basket, gabion wall, gabion mattresses, etc. It is hexagonal wire netting and can be finished by hot-dipped galvanized, galvanized aluminum alloy or PVC coated.
Anping Xinlu Gabions are rectangular galvanized wire baskets filled with stones used as pervious, semiflexible building blocks for slope and channel stabilization. Live rooting branches may be placed between the rock-filled baskets.
We can supply gabions of different type: Gabion basket, gabion box, gabion mattress, gabion sack, gabion wire mesh roll, and welded gabions are also availible from us
1. Gabion
Our Gabion mesh is hexagonal in shape meeting with the 80× 100 mm mesh aperture for gabions, with a mesh wire diameter of 2.7mm and selvedge wire of 3.4mm diameter(standard dimension, other size is also avaible at your requirements). Contact us also for welded mesh gabion material as well.
2. Surface Treatment Power Coated:
A. Hot-dipped galvanized, Mass of Zinc Coating, Up to 290g/m2
B. PVC Coated Mattresses and gabion baskets are also available with a 0.5mm nominal thickness P. V. C. Coating to enhance the resistance of the baskets to corrosion of the wire mesh. This provides a overall increase in diameter of 1mm to all wires used in the manufacturing process.
C. Galfan, 95% zinc, 5% aluminum

Advantages of Gabions
Environmentally acceptable the use of local rock and soils for backfill is encouraged, with the subsequent growth of vegetative cover
Flexible gabions are able to settle and move without failure, even on unstable soils
Economical suitable stone is normally found on site or from a nearby quarry
The gabion basket has a high compressive resistance (rock) and tensile (mesh) strength
The gabion baskets allow the free passage of water through the structure, and weep holes are unnecessary
Vegetation can be incorporated within or over the gabion structures to blend in with the local environment
The integrity of a local ecosystem within a river is unaffected by gabions as they allow the free flow of water and growth of plants through their structure
With time the integrity and strength of gabion river protection is enhanced with the subsequent growth of plants and their root systems penetrating the porous gabion structure
