Gabion Mattress

Gabion mattresses, also known as Reno mattresses or Mac mattresses, are made of steel hexagonal wire mesh. Gabion mattresses are filled with rock at the construction site to create a flexible, permeable monolithic structure.

Gabion mattresses are manufactured using the same materials as gabion boxes, including galvanized wire, galvanized wire, and PVC coated wire. However, gabion mattresses are much lower in height than gabion boxes. The height of a gabion box is usually 0.5 to 1m, and the maximum height of a gabion mattress is 0.3m.

Material of gabion mattress

Gabion mesh mattresses are available in different materials, including galvanized steel wire, PVC coated steel wire and zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire.

Galvanized Steel Wire. Galvanized gabion mesh mattress is the most widely used type, which is made of electro-galvanized and hot-dip galvanized. It has high corrosion and rust resistance and is durable.

PVC Coated Wire.PVC coated wire comes in different colors, which can make the gabion mattress blend in with the surrounding environment.
