Consists of double-twisted wire mesh made from wire which is zinc coated before
being double-twisted into mesh. Fasteners, lacing wire, and stiffeners are
produced from zinc-coated wire.
(Commonly known as Galvanized Gabions)
Style 2
Consists of double-twisted wire mesh made from wire which is coated with Zn-
5Al-MM before being double-twisted into mesh. Fasteners, lacing wire, and

In addition to the above standard type of wire coatings, Maccaferri also manufactures
gabions using the following additional type of wire coating and wire type to suit field
conditions and meet project specific design requirements.
A. Galfan and PVC Coated Gabions Consist of double twisted hexagonal wire
mesh, lacing wire, and stiffeners as in Style 2 and coated with PVC. Fasteners shall be
of stainless steel wire.
B. Stainless Steel Gabions Consist of double twisted hexagonal mesh made from
stainless steel 316L wire. Fasteners, lacing wire, and stiffeners are also produced from
stainless steel.
The selection of Gabion wire coatings is a function of various factors as described in the table
below.
