What Is Galvanized Hexagonal Mesh?

Galvanized hexagonal mesh (also known as gabion mesh) is a hexagonal metal mesh made of hot-dip galvanized steel wire twisted in pairs, with various mesh sizes and wire diameters. It has the characteristics of flexible structure, strong water permeability, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and can be PVC coated to enhance weather resistance. It is mainly used for river slope protection/retaining wall (gabion box filling), roadbed and mine protection, and garden landscape fence. It is easy to construct, and the cost is lower than concrete. It is the preferred material for ecological engineering and supports customized size and coating.

Features

• High strength: The material is low-carbon steel wire and galvanized wire, which gives the hexagonal mesh good strength and durability. The structure is strong and the mesh surface is flat.
• High corrosion resistance: The surface is galvanized to greatly enhance the anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation ability of the hexagonal mesh. The zinc layer isolates oxygen and moisture, extending its service life.
• Simple and economical construction: Easy installation. No special technology is required; just lay the mesh flat where it needs protection or reinforcement. Low cost and economical.
• Strong deformation ability: Its flexibility and deformation ability make it have better stability in the face of natural disasters such as floods and landslides. It can adapt to various complex terrains and construction conditions.
• Beautiful: The surface of the galvanized hexagonal mesh is silver, and different colors of PVC coating layers can be selected as needed to achieve the effect of beautifying the surrounding environment.
• Versatility: It can be used for building wall fixing, insulation, and heat insulation; landscaping protection, residential protection; isolation of various poultry; gabion nets to protect river embankments, rockfall nets to protect hillsides, etc.

Galvanized Hexagonal Wire Mesh Case

Applications

• Civil Engineering: Used for slope protection of highway, railway, water conservancy, and other projects to prevent soil erosion and landslides. Filling stones are used for embankment reinforcement and also as a supporting structure for retaining walls.
• Agriculture and Animal Husbandry: Poultry fences for chickens, ducks, geese, etc., large livestock fences for cattle, sheep, horses, etc., and hexagonal mesh fences for orchard protection.
• Construction and Decoration: Can be used for wall fixing and insulation. Also used as a supporting structure for ceilings or partitions, galvanized hexagonal mesh is light and sturdy.
• Gardening and Landscape: Provides a supporting structure for climbing plants and beautifies garden landscapes. Fences used in gardens, parks, etc., are both beautiful and practical.
• Environmental Protection and Governance: Used for landfill coverage to prevent flying and odor diffusion. In areas with severe soil erosion, it can be used for vegetation restoration and soil conservation.
• Aquaculture: Fences used in aquaculture sites, such as fish ponds and shrimp ponds, are easy to manage and prevent predation.

Hexagonal Mesh Weight Calculation

Weight (kg) = 1/2 × wire diameter (mm）× wire diameter (mm）× cardinal × length × width

Note: The cardinality of the hexagonal opening is as follows：

Aperture Size
4″ = 3.017	3″ = 0.44
2″ = 0.6	1-1/2″ = 0.84
1-1/4″ = 1.09	1″ = 1.22
3/4″ = 1.53	5/8″ = 1.87
1/2″ = 2.15	3/8″ = 2.4

Weaving Method

Galvanized hexagonal wire mesh is woven with straight twist and reverse twist. Here is the size table of its different weaving methods for your reference.

Galvanized hexagonal wire mesh in straight twist:

Mesh Size		Wire Gauge
Inch	mm	BWG
3/8″	10	32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21

Remark:

• Wanzhi uses high-quality Q195, Q235 low-carbon steel wire as raw materials, and the galvanizing amount is up to 275g/㎡ in special cases.
• PVC coating, vinyl coating, PU/PE coating, and powder coating services are also provided, which will further improve the corrosion resistance of the mesh.

Types of Galvanized Hex Netting

According to the manufacturing method, it can be divided into:

1. Electro-galvanized before weaving.
2. Electro-galvanized after weaving.
3. Hot-dip galvanized before weaving.
4. Hot dip galvanized after weaving.

Among them, hot-dip galvanized woven mesh is the most durable. It is made by weaving low-carbon wire into a mesh and then completely immersing it in a molten zinc bath.
Compared with hot-dip galvanized wire mesh, electro-galvanized wire mesh has a smoother surface and is cheaper.
In addition, the galvanized wire mesh before weaving uses gi metal wire as raw material, which has better anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties.

Galvanized VS PVC Coated Hexagonal Wire Mesh

Characteristics of both

1. Galvanized Hexagonal Mesh: The coating material is zinc. It provides corrosion resistance, the zinc layer can be customized, the surface is shiny silver, the wire diameter can reach 5mm, and it has enough strength to withstand pressure.

2. PVC coated Hexagonal Wire Mesh: The coating material is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). With an additional plastic protective layer, the PVC mesh has a longer service life. With more color options, the cost is higher than galvanized wire mesh.

Recommended Choice

• Choose PVC Coated Mesh: Pay more attention to aesthetics and durability.
• Choose Galvanized Wire Mesh: Pay more attention to price and have no pursuit of color.

How Long Does Galvanized Hexagonal Wire Mesh Last?

In general, it has a service life of 40 to 50 years. This is related to the quality of the galvanized hexagonal wire mesh and the environment in which it is used.

1. Product Quality

The quality of the product is one of the factors that affect its lifespan. If the galvanized hexagonal wire mesh you buy is of good quality and has a thick enough zinc layer, it will last for many years and will not rust easily. This also means that its lifespan will increase as well. If the manufacturer cuts corners in production, then you will get a poor-quality hexagonal mesh. This is when you will find that your net will not last very long.

2. Usage Environment

When your galvanized hexagonal wire mesh is used in harsh environments, often in contact with corrosive materials, it can be easily damaged. Conversely, if it is used in good condition, it will easily last for decades without requiring maintenance.
