Hexagonal wire mesh, also known as chicken wire or gabion box, is a versatile type of wire mesh characterized by its hexagonal pattern. It is typically made from low-carbon steel wire, galvanized steel wire, or stainless steel wire, and sometimes PVC-coated for additional corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal. The mesh size is typically ranges from 1/2 inch to 4 inches, with wire diameter that ranges from 0.5 mm to 2 mm, depending on the application requirements. The weaving type of it is divided to Normal twist and Reverse twist.
Properties
The hexagonal pattern is flexible, making it easy to bend, cut, and shape to fit various applications. Compared to other types of wire mesh, hexagonal mesh is relatively lightweight, which facilitates easy handling and installation. In addition, depending on the material and coating, it offers good durability and resistance to weathering, especially when galvanized or PVC-coated. Generally cost-effective, especially when made from galvanized steel, making it an economical choice for large-scale fencing and enclosure projects.
Applications
Agriculture: Fencing for poultry, rabbits, and other small animals.
Construction: Mainly used in light-weight reinforcement for concrete.
Erosion Control: As a containment for rocks in gabion structures, used in slope stabilization and erosion control projects.
Reason: Its flexibility and strength make it ideal for holding rocks in place and adapting to the contours of the land.
