Gabions are a estabIished, sturdy and technically proven way for erosion control and retention of earth. Gabions strength comes from a double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wires, thus in the event of accidental damage or break of one or more wires, the double twisted wire configuration ensures that minimal strength reduction occurs.
v Ease of handling and transportation
v Simple fast assembly construction
v Flexibility & Endurance
v Permeability to water, gabion structures offer free drainage
v Providing higher bank stability when used for river bank rotection.
v Environment Friendly as gabions structures blends easily and harmoniously with the natural surroundings
Standards & Common Specifications
Gabion mesh is available in a variety of different specs, including wire thickness, opening size, box dimension and material grade. Consisting of hexagonal wire mesh, gabion box is divided into cells with 1 meter or 3ft intervals. The intervals reinforces the structures of gabion box.
We follow the major international standard in our manufacturing process.

In our 11000 sqm gabion production workshop, Enzar Metal has 6 sets of advanced machines for gabion mesh weaving. All our machines are in good condition and efficient. We can deliver 150 tons of gabion mesh within a week time. Urgent order request will be proper treated in our production arrangement.
For easy handling and transportation, gabion box is usually shipped in bundle. The gabion box is folded and pressed into bundle, and then strapped with steel or nylon bandage. In this way, the gabion box package is in smallest dimension with suitable unit weight. Gabion is usually fitted into 40ft container to maximize the freight cost.
The installation is relatively easy than other similar material. It is briefly introduced as the following steps. For more installing and designing, please send inquiry for detailed documents.
Step #1: Assembly
Unpack the gabion bundles→Unfold each gabion panel→Fold to form a regular box→Lace at the selvage wire with binding wire provided
Step #2: Forming the Structure
Level the working ground→Carry and place the gabion as designed→Wire up the gabions aside
Step #3: Stretching gabions before filling
Place the stretching bars at each corner→Fix the bars to stretch the gabion→Check the wiring after Stretching
Step #4: Filling rocks
Fill the gabion by rocks with proper sizes→Level the rocks surface in the gabion→Close and secure the lid by binding wire provided
Reno Mattress:
Reno Mattress is a typical gabion box used for riverbank protection. The thickness/height is less than 500mm comparison with normal gabion box.
Terra Mesh:
This type is particularly applied as slope forming. Faced by gabion and reinforced by roll mesh, terra mesh gives the slope project firm soil stabilization property.
Rock Mesh Netting:
Supplied in roll form, heavy hexagonal wire mesh is usually as the rockfall mesh netting. It is mostly applied in some slope near the road, railway, etc. to prevent the rolling rock from falling and bringing damage. More accessories and tools are used in this application, such as anchor and drilling machine. Combining with chain link and steel rope mesh. We have full products line in slope stabilization projects, including passive protection system and active protection system.
