Materials used in gabion mesh production: galvanized wire, galvanized after welded, PVC coated

We, at KFS wire company, provide high-quality gabion mesh for our customers.

The features of gabion mesh are as follows:

  • High durability: Thanks to its galvanized structure, gabion does not corrode or rust when exposed to moisture and water.
  • Flexibility: Gabion can be easily molded into various shapes and can withstand changes in shape without breaking, even in unstable ground or moving water.
  • Permeability: Gabion has a porous structure, allowing for drainage without the need for additional drainage systems.
  • High resistance: The strong and durable materials in gabion, such as the mesh and stones inside it, contribute to its high resistance.
  • Cost-effective: Gabion can be an economical choice, especially when local resources for stones are available.
  • Environmentally friendly: Gabion can be reused even after it has been used and dismantled, as its stones do not get damaged like loose aggregates. Additionally, gabion can be filled with recycled materials, making it a useful application of waste materials.
  • Easy installation: Gabion does not require special skills and can be easily installed.
