Flexible and Eco-Friendly Erosion Control Solutions
Product Definition:
Sack Gabions, alternatively known as cylindrical wire mesh containers, are crafted from a single piece of double-twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh. These structures, characterized by their cylindrical shape, are designed for on-site filling with stones to create a flexible and permeable construction solution.

- Fill Material: Customers can fill the gabions with soil, sand, rocks, or small gravel, ensuring adaptability to various project needs.
Size Customization:
- Width: Our Sack Gabions are available in widths ranging from 0.5m to 2.0m.
- Length: We offer customizable lengths to meet your specific project requirements.
- Height: Heights can be tailored up to 2.0m, providing maximum flexibility for different applications.
Key Features:
- Cost-Effectiveness and Practicality: Filling the mesh with stones is a straightforward process that requires no specialized skills, making it economically viable.
- Convenient Transportation: These sacks are easily transportable in a folded state, saving space and facilitating easy on-site assembly.
- Durability Against Elements: Our Sack Gabions demonstrate exceptional resilience against natural degradation and harsh weather conditions.
- Flexibility and Stability: They can withstand significant deformation without collapsing, ensuring stability on uneven terrain.
- Ecological Integration: The interstitial spaces between the rocks allow for plant growth, seamlessly blending the structure with the natural environment.
- Excellent Permeability: Our design prevents damage from static water pressure, reducing the risk of seepage-induced failures.
Applications:
Our gabion mesh sacks are extensively applied in various civil and environmental engineering projects, such as:
- Highway and Railway Construction: For slope protection and reinforcement.

- Well and Gully Fencing: For safety and erosion control around wells and gullies.
- Building and Breeding Enclosures: As robust and long-lasting barriers.
- Zoo Fencing: To provide secure and naturalistic environments for animals.
- Greening Fencing and Hill-side Net Cages: For ecological restoration and protection.
- Flood Control and River Management: In the form of flood fighting net cages and revetment fences.
- Control and Guidance of River Flow: To direct water flow and prevent erosion.
- Spillway and Diversion Channel Construction: For effective water management.
- Rock Fall Protection: To safeguard against falling rocks in hilly areas.
- Soil and Water Conservation: To prevent soil erosion and maintain water quality.
- Beach Protection Projects: To protect coastlines from erosion.
- Bridge Protection: To reinforce bridge abutments and piers.
- Defense Projects for Solid Structures: As protective barriers.
- Retaining Walls: For earth retention and soil reinforcement.
- Port and Coastal Structures: To withstand maritime conditions and wave action.
Installation Process:
We simplify the installation of our Sack Gabion with the following steps:
1. Prepare the Area: Clear and level the ground where the gabion will be placed.
2. Unfold the Sack: Lay the gabion flat and open.
3. Fill the Sack: Fill with the recommended material, ensuring even distribution.
4. Close the Sack: Seal the top with a twist tie or wire, depending on the sack design.
5. 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.
Warranty:
CHG METAL stands behind the quality of our Sack Gabion products with a comprehensive warranty, ensuring your investment is protected.
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.
