Gabions and Reno Mattresses

Gabion Baskets are rock filled wire boxes that provide stabilization and structure for many construction applications. Most gabions are filled on site with rocks, sand, or concrete aggregate mix. The boxes are then stacked, interlocked, and tied back to form a structure that will prevent natural erosion from occurring.

Gabion Basket

Galvanized Gabion Baskets

Double twisted galvanized steel wire mesh basket
Wire meets ASTM A975 Style 1 Coating
Connect multiple gabion baskets to construct monolithic structure

Benefits

Permeable
Flexible
Thicker diameter wire for high mechanical performance

Applications

Retaining walls
Erosion control
Coastal protection
Check dams
Beach restorations
Architectural applications

Our Gabion Baskets are manufactured from double twisted hexagonal wire mesh. The high quality galvanized steel wire mesh meets ASTM A975. The wire mesh creates a box-like structure with internal cells. Connect multiple containers together to create a flexible monolithic structure.

Gabion Baskets are shipped flat and assembled on site. Fasten together multiple gabions together with Lacing Wire and/or Hog Rings. You can choose from either Galvanized Hog Rings or Stainless Steel Hog Rings. Once you have assembled your Gabion Baskets, fill them with rock, sand, stone or concrete per site specifications. If you need on-site installation assistance, inquire with our sales team.

Architectural applications

PolicMac coated Gabion Baskets are manufactured from double twisted hexagonal wire mesh and coated with a high abrasion resistant polymer coating. The wire mesh used to manufacture PolicMac Gabion Baskets meets ASTM A975 style 3 coating. 

The polymer coating adds an extra layer of protection against aggressive environments where additional protection against corrosion is required. This includes salt water environments, heavily acidic soils and sites that need longer service life. 

Gabion Baskets are shipped flat and assembled on site. Fasten together multiple gabions together with Lacing Wire and/or Hog Rings. You can choose from either Galvanized Hog Rings or Stainless Steel Hog Rings. Once you have assembled your Gabion Baskets, fill them with rock, sand, stone or concrete per site specifications. If you need on-site installation assistance, inquire with our sales team.

Reno Mattress

Wire mesh structure similar to gabion design but only 12-inches tall
6×8 double twisted wire mesh per ASTM A975
Available with PolicMac™ coating

Benefits

More effective than rip rap
Easy to install
Reduces material (compared to rip rap)

Applications

Channel lining
River bank protection

A Reno Mattress is very similar to a gabion basket. Both structures are made of double twisted wire mesh that creates cage-like containers. Just like gabions, the Reno Mattress is filled with rock and stone on site.

The key difference between a Reno Mattress and a gabion basket is the product’s size. The Mattress is rectangular and has a maximum height of 12-inches. The size and shape make it ideal for channel lining and river bank protection.

Reno Mattresses are divided into diaphragm cells that are typically 3-feet wide by 9-feet long. Mattresses are connected with Lacing Wire and/or Hog Rings which can be galvanized or stainless steel. 

Gabion Mattresses can be PoliMac™ coated for additional protection against corrosive elements like salt water and acidic soils.
