Product Overview
Our Gabion Boxes are expertly crafted from heavy-duty galvanized wire, woven into hexagonal meshes to form robust, rectangular baskets. These versatile structures come in a variety of sizes and wire diameters, designed to be filled with stones during construction for optimal sealing and stability. We offer two primary types of gabion boxes:
1. Standard gabion boxes featuring zinc-coated or golfan-coated wire.
2. Custom gabion boxes tailored to specific project requirements.
Gabion Box Dimensions:
The dimensions of our gabion boxes are meticulously selected based on their intended application. For instance, water conservancy slope protection may necessitate mesh sizes such as 60*80mm or 70*90mm. We provide a range of standard sizes, but we also specialize in customizing box sizes and wire mesh specifications to meet your unique project needs. Please reach out to our team of specialists for a consultation.

FAQ
Q: 1. What is Gabion Mesh?
A: Gabion mesh is a structure made of hexagonal woven wire mesh, usually filled with stones or gravel. It is widely used in civil and environmental engineering for erosion control, slope stabilization, and retaining structures. Its flexibility, permeability, and durability make it ideal for rivers, roads, and landscaping.
Q: 2. Types of Gabion Mesh
A: Hexagonal Woven Gabion
The most common type, flexible and suitable for uneven terrain.
Welded Gabion Box:
Flat surface and rigid structure, often used in architectural and landscaping applications.
Gabion Mattress (Reno Mattress):
Thinner height, used for riverbed and bank toe protection.
Surface Coatings:
Available in galvanized, PVC-coated, or Galfan-coated (zinc-aluminum alloy) wire for corrosion resistance.
Q: 3. Applications of Gabion Mesh
A: Riverbanks, reservoirs, and coastal erosion control
● Slope stabilization and landslide protection
● Highway and railway embankment reinforcement
● Bridge abutment and culvert protection
● Garden retaining walls and landscape decoration
● Military and noise barrier walls (e.g., Hesco barriers)
Q: 4. Gabion Mesh Production Process
A: Wire Preparation:
Drawing, galvanizing, or PVC coating of low-carbon steel wire
Mesh Weaving:
Hexagonal mesh is woven by specialized machines
Cutting & Forming:
Cut to size and folded into panels for box formation
Edge Binding & Reinforcement:
Manual or machine twisted edges for added strength
Quality Inspection:
Tests for mesh size, tensile strength, coating thickness, and anti-corrosion
Packing & Shipping:
Folded and bundled, typically shipped with pallets or wooden crates
Q: 5. Which is better for gabion boxes: hand-twisted edges or machine-twisted edges?
A: Hand-twisted edges have tighter knots and provide a stronger structure, making them ideal for projects with high durability and load requirements, especially in harsh environments. However, they come with higher costs and longer production times. Machine-twisted edges offer higher production efficiency and lower costs, suitable for large-volume projects with moderate strength needs, though their strength and durability are slightly lower than hand-twisted edges.
If your project demands high strength and durability, hand-twisted edges are recommended. If cost and production speed are more important and the environmental conditions are less severe, machine-twisted edges are a more economical choice.
