Lacing Wire

Lacing Wire & Binding Wire for Gabion Assembly

For binding, assembling and securing gabion mesh units during installation. Lacing wire is the soft, heavily galvanised (or PVC-coated) wire used to stitch gabion panels together, close lids and tie adjacent units into one continuous structure.

Overview

Lacing Wire: The joint that matters.

Lacing wire is the soft, heavily galvanised (or PVC-coated) wire used to stitch gabion panels together, close lids and tie adjacent units into one continuous structure. Terracare supplies lacing wire matched to the coating of the gabion mesh so the whole structure has the same corrosion life.

Key features

Built into every unit.

Matched coating

Same zinc, Zn-Al or PVC coating as the mesh — no weak link in corrosion life.

Soft-drawn for easy lacing

Low-carbon wire that bends tightly by hand and holds its lace.

Correct diameter

2.2 mm nominal for standard gabions (3.2 mm with PVC), as per IS 16014.

Supplied in coils

Convenient coil weights for site crews; quantity calculated per gabion order.

Ring fasteners available

Pneumatic C-ring fasteners can be supplied as a faster alternative to hand lacing.

How much lacing wire do I need for gabion boxes?

As a rule of thumb, lacing wire is about 5–8 % of the weight of the gabion mesh being assembled. Terracare calculates and supplies the exact quantity with each gabion order.

Can I use ordinary binding wire instead of lacing wire?

Not recommended. Ordinary binding wire has a much thinner coating and a smaller diameter, so the joints corrode long before the gabion mesh. IS 16014 specifies 2.2 mm heavily galvanised lacing wire.
