1/8th or 3/16th diameter Galfan coated wire deflection video
Electronically welded wire mesh 3" x 3" grid
3/16th dia wire is 125% stronger than 1/8th (9 gauge) diameter wire
3/16th dia wire is 26.5% stronger than 5/32th (6 gauge) diameter wire
Angular rock is the best gabion fill as it provides a good interlock and therefore less deformation of the face occurs. When using rounded river rock as gabion fill, it is recommended that you use the heavier 3/16th gabion baskets, which are less likely to deform under load. Also 3/16th wire is the preferred choice where an uniform architectural look is required.
In locations where high flood water velocities are expected, carrying woody debris and gravels in suspension, the stronger 3/16th welded gabions are the preferred choice, to resist damage to the gabion structures during floods.
