Description
Product Introduction
Double twisted hexagonal wire mesh for flexible reinforcement and gabion applications.
Product Introduction
Double twisted hexagonal wire mesh is a flexible, high-tensile steel mesh formed by twisting adjacent wires together two and a half turns to create a strong, non-ravelling hexagonal pattern. This double-twist construction is the foundation of gabion baskets, reinforced mattresses and slope protection systems, because even if a wire is damaged the mesh will not unravel. The result is a durable, fault-tolerant structure that combines mechanical strength with the flexibility needed to follow uneven ground and absorb settlement and movement without failure. Made from heavily coated steel wire, the mesh resists corrosion in rivers, coastlines, embankments and other demanding environments. It is supplied in rolls and panels in a range of mesh openings and coatings to suit different engineering and ecological applications.
Key Features & Advantages
Double twisted hexagonal wire mesh is valued for the combination of strength, flexibility and reliability it brings to protection and reinforcement structures. Key advantages include: • Double-twist construction that prevents unravelling, so localized damage does not compromise the whole structure. • High tensile strength to resist hydraulic forces, earth pressure and impact in gabion and revetment works. • Flexibility that allows the mesh to follow uneven terrain, accommodate settlement and absorb ground movement. • Heavy zinc, Galfan or PVC coatings for long-term corrosion resistance in water, soil and aggressive environments. • Good permeability and drainage when filled with stone, supporting ecological and vegetated solutions. This fault-tolerant design makes the mesh ideal for long-life hydraulic and geotechnical structures.
Specifications & Options
Double twisted hexagonal wire mesh is available in a range of customizable specifications to match gabion, mattress and slope protection designs. Typical mesh openings include common sizes such as 60x80 mm, 80x100 mm and 100x120 mm, with other apertures available on request. Wire diameters typically range from around 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm or more for the mesh wire, with heavier selvedge and lacing wires to finish edges and connections. Coating options include heavily galvanized (zinc) wire, Galfan (zinc-aluminium alloy) for enhanced corrosion resistance, and PVC coating for additional protection and a choice of colours in highly aggressive or saline conditions. The mesh is supplied in rolls and prefabricated panels, with widths, lengths and basket dimensions customizable to project drawings.
Applications & Industries
Double twisted hexagonal wire mesh is a core material for civil, hydraulic and ecological engineering. Its most common use is in gabion baskets and reno mattresses for retaining walls, riverbank protection, channel lining and erosion control, where the stone-filled mesh forms durable, permeable structures. It is widely applied in slope and embankment stabilization, road and railway protection, coastal and shoreline defence, bridge abutment and pier scour protection, and dam and reservoir works. The flexible, vegetated solutions it enables also support ecological restoration, landscaping and green infrastructure projects. In addition, the mesh is used for rockfall protection and as a base for engineered slope systems. Civil contractors, hydraulic and geotechnical engineers, landscaping firms and infrastructure developers rely on it worldwide.
