Gabion Reno Mattresses - 60x80mm Hot-Dipped Galvanized for Riverbed & Erosion Control
Gabion Reno Mattresses - 60x80mm Hot-Dipped Galvanized for Riverbed & Erosion Control
Our Gabion Reno Mattresses are engineered specifically for riverbed stabilization and erosion control applications. With a standardized 60x80mm mesh size and heavy hot-dipped galvanized coating, these mattresses provide superior protection against scour and water erosion while maintaining flexibility and permeability. The low-profile design makes them ideal for lining channels, stabilizing slopes, and protecting riverbeds where traditional gabion boxes would be too bulky.
