Choose Galvanized or PVC Coating?

Galvanized Gabion Mesh

Galvanized gabion mesh is made of galvanized wire. After being hot-dip galvanized, the wire is woven into gabion basket, which has strong corrosion resistance. In addition, galvanized gabion mesh does not rust easily and can be used under harsh environmental conditions. Good quality galvanized gabion mesh will remain in good condition for many years.

PVC Coated Gabion Wire Mesh

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is an excellent material for producing screens. It can resist changes in temperature and humidity. Compared with galvanized gabion mesh, PVC coating has greater corrosion resistance. PVC coated gabion mesh has excellent durability. Moreover, this mesh is available in different colors and has great ornamental value. Therefore, it will be more expensive than other materials of wire mesh.

In conclusion, both galvanized gabions and PVC coated gabions are worth investing in. You can make your choice according to your actual use and budget. If you still have questions about this, you can also choose to consult with Wanzhi Steel.

Woven VS Welded Gabion Wire Mesh

Gabion wire mesh is available in both woven and welded processes. The opening type of woven gabion mesh is usually hexagonal. While welded gabion mesh is usually square opening or diamond shaped opening. Welded gabion mesh is made of hard galvanized steel wire, which will be stronger compared to the woven one. However, both woven gabion wire and welded gabion wire offer the same flexibility.
