What is the difference between gabion mesh and hexagonal mesh?

There are many types of gabion nets, such as: deep processing of hexagonal nets into box-shaped cages for holding stones, that is, hexagonal gabion nets; and electric welded gabion nets deep-processed from welded meshes; Chain link flower gabion net made from deep processing of flower net. Gabion net is made of hexagonal net (chain link fence or welded wire mesh) into a box-like container, and then fills the net box with rocks, etc., which can be used to protect and support seawalls, hillsides, roads and bridges, reservoirs and other civil works. Engineering is a good material for flood control and flood resistance. Although the main materials for processing gabion mesh are hexagonal mesh, chain link fence and welded wire mesh, most of them are hexagonal mesh. So people often think that hexagonal mesh and gabion mesh are the same thing. actually not. Hexagonal gabion mesh is only one of the deep-processed products of hexagonal mesh. The hexagonal mesh is only one of the main materials for processing gabion mesh.

Gabion net can be used for slope support, foundation pit support, hanging net shotcrete on mountain rock surface, slope vegetation (greening), railway and expressway isolation protection and blocking net, it can also be made into cages and net pads, which are used in rivers and rivers. , anti-scour protection of dams and seawalls, and cages for reservoir and river closure.

Although the main materials for processing gabion mesh are hexagonal mesh, chain link fence and welded wire mesh, most of them are hexagonal mesh. So people often think that hexagonal mesh and gabion mesh are the same thing. actually not. Hexagonal gabion mesh is only one of the deep-processed products of hexagonal mesh. The hexagonal mesh is only one of the main materials for processing gabion mesh.

Hexagonal wire netting is made of high-quality metal wires (such as high-carbon steel wire, low-carbon steel wire, iron wire, hot-dip galvanized wire, cold-galvanized wire, plastic-dipped wire, pvc/pe plastic-coated wire, silicone plastic-coated wire) after twisting. The flower net machine is twisted and woven. Therefore, it is also commonly known as the twisted flower net. Hexagonal mesh, as the name suggests, is a mesh with a hexagonal mesh shape. It is further divided into: three-twisted hexagonal net and five-twisted hexagonal twisted flower net. Hexagonal nets can be further processed into gabion nets, and can also be used for hanging nets on hillsides, for zoo fences, protection of machinery and equipment, highway guardrails, stadium fences, and road green belt guardrails. In short, the application of hexagonal net is particularly extensive.

Hexagonal net use:

Building wall fixing, thermal insulation, thermal insulation

Power plants tie pipes and boilers to keep warm

Antifreeze, residential protection, landscaping protection

Raising chickens and ducks, isolating chicken and duck coops to protect poultry

Protect and support seawalls, hillsides, roads and bridges and other water and wood works.

Hexagonal mesh is divided into small hexagonal mesh and heavy hexagonal mesh. Hexagonal mesh generally refers to hexagonal mesh. Small hexagonal mesh is much smaller than gabion mesh from wire diameter to aperture to width. Gabion mesh is also in the category of hexagonal mesh, but the wire diameter is thick, the mesh hole is large, and the mesh surface is wide. The uses of the two are also different. Boulder gabion nets are generally used in mountain support, water conservancy construction, slope spraying, side batch protection, dam throttling, etc. Small hexagonal nets are mostly used in aquaculture and thermal insulation material industries.

The similarity between the gabion mesh and the hexagonal mesh is that the weaving method is the same, both of which are twisted and woven. Plastic wire, PVC coated wire), the similarity of the products is too high when looking at the pictures, it is easy to mix dishes, so users must pay attention to understanding the product specifications and uses when purchasing to avoid mistakes.
