Double Twisted Mesh  
 
 

Double Twisted Mesh is used as a drapery system to prevent rockfall and debris from falling onto roads, railways or where there is a possibility of loss of property or life.

Due to the characteristics of the double twist, the steel wire mesh can withstand the force of the falling rocks without unravelling in the event of wire breakage. The mesh is anchored at the top of the slope with a trench at the bottom to collect the debris. Encapsulating vegetative soil pockets under the drapery system permits the establishment of vegetation if conditions permit.

Double twisted mesh is available galvanized or galvanized with PVC sheets. For custom orders only, the PVC may be available in different colors: Gray, Black, Brown and Tan.

Advantages of double twisted mesh:

  • Mesh does not unravel if one of the wires should fail
  • High tension and punching stress resistance
  • Maximum continunity at joints without the need to overlap mesh panels
  • Low installation costs
