Due to the characteristics of metal gabion mesh, gold frame, and hexagonal mesh, they are usually designed as box shaped frames for use as gabion mesh. Stone cage mesh is made of metal wire mesh (hexagonal mesh), and pine resin metal mesh is made of a composite material of metal and high polymer gum plastic. After being coated with a high-quality and highly corrosion-resistant film and undergoing several complex processes, the gabion mesh has the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance and good protective function even in environments with severe environmental pollution. This type of net is often used in rivers, coasts, and heavily polluted areas.

Stone cage mesh is made of 8x10 double hexagonal mesh according to ASTM A95-97, and then filled with stones to be used for building flexible and sturdy river embankments, channel linings, and erosion control projects for embankments. The metal wire used for the gabion net is a soft steel wire coated with a thick layer of zinc (with a 5% zinc plating, made of aluminum alloy [zinc-5 aluminum magnesium alloy]). PVC layer is used in polluted and corrosive environments, such as salt, fresh water, acidic soil, etc. The PVC layer is usually 0.02 feet thick (0.50mm). Separate a small cage with a thin film about 3 feet (0.9m) in the middle of the gabion net. The thicker metal wires at the edges are used to reinforce the structure of the gabion mesh.
