Welded gabion

Welded wire mesh gabions offer the same flexibility as twisted mesh gabions with greater strength. Moreover, the superior coating technology used for Modular Gabion Systems offers greater corrosion resistance than can be achieved with twisted (woven) mesh.

It is important to note that, unlike twisted (woven) mesh, welded wire mesh is symmetrical; the values are equal whether load is applied parallel to the line wires or perpendicular to the line wires. By contrast, twisted (woven) mesh offers significantly less tensile strength in the parallel axis when compared to welded mesh and half the strength in the perpendicular axis.
