Double-Twisted Hexagonal Wire Mesh

Double-Twisted Hexagonal Wire Mesh (Gabion Mesh) for Slope & Rock-Fall Protection

For slope stabilization, rock-fall protection and erosion control. Double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh — commonly called gabion mesh — is the base fabric for every Terracare gabion product and is also supplied in rolls for slope drapery, rock-fall netting, soil nailing facings and surface erosion control.

Overview

Double-Twisted Hexagonal Wire Mesh: The fabric of every gabion.

Double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh — commonly called gabion mesh — is the base fabric for every Terracare gabion product and is also supplied in rolls for slope drapery, rock-fall netting, soil nailing facings and surface erosion control. The mesh is mechanically woven from galvanised or PVC-coated steel wire with every joint twisted twice, so damage stays local and the fabric keeps its strength.

Double-twisted mesh rolls ready for despatch

Key features

Built into every unit.

Mechanically woven

Produced on hexagonal weaving machines for uniform mesh openings and consistent tensile strength.

Double twist at every joint

A cut wire does not unravel — the defining property of double-twisted mesh versus chain-link or welded mesh.

High tensile, low elongation

Behaves as a continuous membrane that distributes point loads from falling rock.

Rolls for fast installation

Supplied in rolls up to 4 m wide; pinned or anchored to the slope with lacing wire or anchors.

Long-life coatings

Heavy galvanising, Zn-Al alloy or PVC coating to match the exposure class of the site.

IS 16014:2024 compliant

Mesh geometry, wire tensile strength and coating mass tested to the Indian Standard.

What is gabion mesh?

Gabion mesh is double-twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh — the woven wire fabric used to make gabion boxes, revet mattresses and rock-fall netting. Each joint is twisted twice so the mesh does not unravel when a wire is cut.

Is gabion mesh the same as chain-link mesh?

No. Chain-link is a single-twist diamond mesh mainly used for fencing. Double-twisted hexagonal gabion mesh has a double twist at every joint, which gives it the strength and non-ravelling behaviour needed for civil-engineering structures.

Can double-twisted mesh be used for rock-fall protection?

Yes. In rolls, it is draped over cut slopes and anchored at the crest so loose rock is guided safely to the toe. It is one of the most economical rock-fall mitigation systems for hill roads.
