Hexagonal Wire Netting- Twisted Woven Gabion Wire Mesh-Double Twisted, Triple Twisted-Fabrication Wire Mesh to Gabions

Hexagonal Wire Netting is a kind of twisted woven wire mesh product characterized by hexagonal-shaped openings. It is commonly used for gabions, chicken wire fencing, insulation, construction reinforcement and gardening.

Structure and Features: Hexagonal wire mesh is also called twisted wire mesh, due to the weaving method of the wires intertwined to form the mesh. This twisting process enhances strength and durability of the mesh fabric, making it suitable for various applications such as gabion work, fencing, poultry enclosures, and reinforcement in construction.

Wire Diameter: The diameter of the metal wires used vary according to the size of the hexagon opening.

For galvanized hexagonal wire, metal wire with a diameter of 0.3mm to 2.0mm is commonly used. Twisted woven hexagonal mesh with PVC-coated wire, diameter of PVC wire with an outer coating ranges from 0.8mm to 2.6mm. Twisted into a hexagonal shape, the line on the edge of the outer frame can be made into single twisted,double twisted,triple twisted and movable edge wires.

Why Hexagonal Wire Netting used for Gabion Mesh?

Hexagonal twisted wire mesh is ideal for gabions due to flexibility, strength, corrosion resistance, effective erosion control, lightweight structure and ease of installation.

Hexagonal double twisted gabion mesh is commonly used for retaining walls, erosion control and other construction applications.

How is Hexagonal Mesh Fabricated into Gabions?

Hexagonal wire mesh is fabricated into gabion baskets, boxes mattresses, through the following steps:

1. Cutting: Wwire mesh is cut to size based on the dimensions of the gabion basket being constructed.

2. Bending and Forming: The cut wire mesh panels are then bent and formed into basket shape, typically a rectangular box, or cage container. Bending the mesh fabric along the edges to create the sides, bottom, and top of the basket.

3. Assembly: Mesh panels are assembled together by securing the edges using lacing wire, C-rings, or other fastening methods. The edges are tightly joined to ensure the structural integrity of the basket.

4. Reinforcement: Vertical and horizontal stiffeners or diaphragms are added inside the basket. These reinforcements help the gabion maintain its shape and provide additional support when filled with stones.

Twisting Styles:

Twisting method of the wire can affects the durability and strength of the gabion mesh. Three twisting methods are used in the manufacture of hexagonal gabion mesh:

• Single Twist: Twisting each wire once around the adjacent wire. Single twisted hexagonal gabion mesh offers a simple but less strong connection, not popularly used.

• Double Twist: Twisting each wire twice around the adjacent wires. Double twisted hexgonal gabion mesh offers increased strength and durability, this is most common method for gabion mesh.

• Triple Twist: Twisting each wire three times around adjacent wires. Triple twisted gabion mesh offers highest strength and resistance to unravelling for maximum durability. Costs higher compared with double twisted mesh, yet stronger.

Double and triple twist wire mesh are preferred for most gabion works due to superior strength and stability.

Weaving: Three types for hexagonal wire mesh according to twist directions: Straight twisted, reverse twisted, straight & reverse twisted, single or double edge.

Wire Material:

Hexagonal wire netting is made of twisting carbon steel wire, electro or hot dipped galvanized wire, plastic coated wire.

Application:

Hexagonal wire netting can be fabricated into gabion boxes and mattress for flood control. Once the stones are placed inside, the gabion boxes can be laid to form walls or banks that protect against water and flooding. Hexagonal wire netting is also used into poultry netting for breeding chickens and other poultry. When coated in green, it is commonly used as fencing. Made from galvanized iron wire, hexagonal wire netting is widely used in fences, breeding, and construction reinforcement.

According to the application, we can supply wire netting in the following types:
Gabions Wire Mesh;
Garden Netting;
Poultry Netting, Rabbits and Pet enclosures;
Chicken Wire;
Wire Netting for Fences;
Plastering and reinforcing.

Processing Types available include:
' straight twist hexagonal wire netting
' reverse twist hexagonal wire netting
' double-direction twisted hexagonal wire netting

Finishes of Hexagonal Wire Netting can be:  
' galvanized after weaving,galvanized before weaving
' PVC coated galvanized
' hot-dipped galvanized
' electro galvanized

Galvanized after weaving hexagonal wire netting for gabions and rockfall protection:

Hexagonal wire mesh galvanized after weaving is popularly used for gabion work. This type of hexgaonal mesh twisted is fully coated with zinc, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability.

Hexagonal wire mesh is fabricated into gabion baskets by cutting, bending, and forming the wire mesh into the desired gabion shape, then assembling and reinforcingwith lacing wire or C-rings.

General Specification of Hexagonal Wire Netting

Hexagonal chicken mesh, also known as hexagonal wire netting or chicken wire, is a type of wire mesh commonly used in the construction of chicken coops, poultry farms, and other animal enclosures. The mesh is made of galvanized wire or PVC coated wire, which is woven into a hexagonal pattern, with each cell formed by six wires intersecting at the corners.

The hexagonal chicken mesh has several benefits that make it ideal for use in animal enclosures. Firstly, the hexagonal pattern provides a strong and stable structure that can withstand the weight and movements of animals. Secondly, the small openings in the mesh allow for adequate ventilation and air circulation, which is essential for the health of the animals. Additionally, the hexagonal mesh can also serve as a barrier to prevent predators from entering the enclosure and harming the animals.

Hexagonal chicken mesh is available in different sizes and gauges, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is also relatively easy to install and maintain, making it a popular choice for many farmers and animal keepers.

The hexagonal chicken mesh can be used not only for chicken coops and poultry farms but also for a variety of other animal enclosures, such as rabbit hutches, bird aviaries, and even as a protective cover for fruit and vegetable gardens to prevent damage from birds or other small animals. The mesh can also be used for decorative purposes such as in garden trellises or as a fencing material.

When choosing hexagonal chicken mesh, it is important to consider the gauge or thickness of the wire, as well as the size of the hexagonal cells. The gauge of the wire determines the strength and durability of the mesh, while the size of the hexagonal cells should be chosen based on the size of the animals being housed or the intended purpose of the mesh.

Overall, hexagonal chicken mesh is a versatile and practical choice for animal enclosures and other applications where a strong and stable wire mesh is needed.
