Gabions & Mattresses

Gabions & Mattresses

Gabions and mattresses are fabricated boxes, manufactured using mechanically woven double twisted hexagonal shaped wire meshes. Mechanically woven double twisted wire meshes are non-ravelling; and manufactured by twisting continuous pairs of wires through three one-half turns (commonly called double twisted/triple twisted) to form hexagonal shaped mesh openings. These are then interconnected to adjacent wires to form hexagonal meshes. The edges of the mesh are toughened with a thicker wire called the selvedge/edge wire.
