Strength: The high-strength PET/PVC coating and galvanized steel wire ensure the gabion can withstand harsh conditions.
Longevity: The protective coating extends the life of the gabion, reducing the need for replacement.
Installation:
Our PET/PVC Gabion is easy to install:
Prepare the Area: Clear and level the ground where the gabion will be placed.
Unfold the Gabion: Lay the gabion flat and open.
Fill the Gabion: Fill with the recommended material, ensuring even distribution.
Close the Gabion: Seal the top with a twist tie or wire, depending on the gabion design.
Connect to Others: Link the filled gabion to adjacent ones to form a continuous structure.
Maintenance:
Inspect Periodically: Regularly check for signs of wear or damage.
Repair Promptly: Address any issues to maintain the integrity of the structure.
Construction requirements:
When the PET bags gabion is combined with the galvanized gabion cage, it needs to be pulled up 10cm at the mouth of the bag, and the bottom square is evenly opened, filled with earth material and layered and filled with tamping, and the layer height is 30cm. Before the PET bags gabion is capped, the smaller earth and stone materials should be used to make the top of the bag about 8-10cm higher, adhere with the adhesive tape, fix the corner end with the iron bar, and then ligature the frame line and the gabion net cover.

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.
