Common materials include hot-dip galvanized low-carbon steel wire, hot-dip galvanized aluminum alloy steel wire, and PVC-coated steel wire. These materials are corrosion-resistant and have high tensile strength, making them suitable for outdoor and aquatic environments.

Galfan welded mesh cage is a metal mesh cage made by welding high-strength steel wires into mesh sheets, and then coating them with zinc aluminum alloy (Zn Al). It is different from traditional woven gabions in that welded gabions have a stiffer structure, a more neat appearance, and easier construction, making them particularly popular in fields such as landscape, building exterior walls, and garden partitions.

Typically 80–200 mm depending on mesh size.

Woven: flexible, best for river, slope protection

Welded: rigid, best for landscape walls, decorations

• Good drainage
• Flexible and not easy to crack
• Eco-friendly
• Good erosion resistance
• Easy to construct

With corrosion-resistant wire, gabions can last 20–50 years depending on the environment.

They are made of galvanized wire, Galfan wire, or PVC/PE-coated wire.

Common types include woven gabions, welded gabions, Reno mattresses, gabion walls, and decorative gabions.

Commonly used for slope protection, retaining walls, riverbank/embankment reinforcement, slope stabilization, flood or water flow erosion protection, as well as garden/landscape design (partition walls, fences, decorative walls, flower beds, chairs, etc.).

Gabion is a permeable and flexible structural wall/slope/retaining wall made by weaving galvanized or Galfan coated steel wire mesh into a "cage" (mesh basket/box), and then filling it with materials such as block stones, crushed stones, or recycled concrete.
