Reno mattress
Reno mattress, also known as Reno mattress gabion or Reno cage, is a metal mesh mat woven from metal wire. It is flat and wide, filled with stones or pebbles, and is used to prevent erosion of river channels and river bank slopes. Its design is inspired by the slope protection project of the Reno River in Italy. It enhances slope stability through a flexible structure while taking into account eco-friendliness.

Advantages of Reno Mattress
- Durability: Made of galvanized wire, Galfan Wire, and PVC-coated iron wire, it is corrosion-resistant and can withstand harsh environmental conditions.
- Flexibility: The woven structure enables the mattress to conform to the terrain, fully adapting to various terrains and even uneven contact surfaces.
- Permeability: The open structure of the mattress allows water to flow through, reducing hydrostatic pressure and preventing damage caused by water accumulation.
- Environmental protection: It is a green choice for ecological slope protection, and the material is 100% recyclable and will not cause any pollution.
- Cost-effective: Compared with concrete structures, Reno mattresses are more affordable, easier to install, lighter, and more breathable.

What is the purpose of a gabion mattress?
- Riverbank and waterway protection: Hard fill stones cushion the impact of water flow and also reduce soil scour along riverbanks and waterways.
- Slope stabilization: Prevent landslides and mudslides or soil erosion by holding soil in place, maintaining ecological stability.
- Coastal protection: In coastal areas, Reno mats protect coastlines from wave action and tidal erosion.
- Channel lining: Used in civil engineering projects to protect bridges, culverts, and other structures from water damage.

Common sizes and recommended applications
- 2m x 1m x 0.3m: Small-scale erosion control, such as a garden slope or small river bank.
- 3m x 2m x 0.3m: Medium-sized mat, suitable for river bank protection and larger slope stabilization projects.
- 4m x 2m x 0.5m: Larger sizes are used for larger infrastructure projects, such as coastal protection or large river courses.
Types of Reno Mattresses
Galvanized Steel Reno Mattresses
These are the most common types and offer excellent durability and corrosion resistance. They are suitable for most erosion control applications.
PE/Vinyl/PVC Coated Reno Mattresses
These mattresses have an additional layer of plastic coating for extra corrosion protection, making them ideal for use in extremely corrosive environments such as coastal areas.
Welded Mesh Reno Mattresses
Unlike traditional woven gabions, welded mesh mattresses have a stronger structure and offer greater stability and strength for use in high impact areas.

What is the difference between gabion and Reno mattresses?
The materials, craftsmanship, and names of gabion and reno mattress are very similar, but their uses are significantly different.
Gabion Basket/Box
A box-shaped wire mesh container with various sizes, high or low height, and large or small area. It is used to build retaining walls, barriers, or landscape applications.
Reno Mattress
It has a flat shape, a very small height, is wider, and has a larger flat surface area. It is used to cover large areas, such as river banks, slopes, and waterways.

Manufacturing process
- Material selection: Choose high-quality steel wire with galvanized, PVC coating, or other materials according to the application.
- Wire mesh manufacturing: The wire is woven into a hexagonal mesh structure to form a rectangular box that constitutes the mattress.
- Bending or assembly: The mesh panels are folded or assembled into the required size, and reinforcement wires are added for strength.
- Quality control: The surface flatness, diameter, aperture, coating quality, and performance of the steel wire are tested.

Wanzhi Steel Quality Control and Standards
We manufacture by international standards such as ISO 9001, and Wanzhi Steel’s key quality checks include:
- Mesh strength: Tensile strength and deformation resistance tests are performed on metal wire mesh.
- Coating thickness: For galvanized and PVC coated mattresses, the thickness is measured with a thickness gauge.
- Dimensional accuracy: Mesh length, width, height, aperture, and wire diameter detection.
- Corrosion resistance: Water dripping test, salt spray test, tensile strength test, impact resistance test, etc., are performed.
