Rock Mesh^® is a woven composite product made of steel wire and metallic ropes woven together during the production of the double twisted mesh. It can be used as a passive drapery system that guides the fall of the rock to a trench. The steel ropes are inserted longitudinally and transversally during the fabrication of the mesh.
The two edges of the steel rope allow for a stronger connection with the adjacent units. It transfers all the loads from the mesh to the anchor via the wire rope edge, providing a more superior system than the double twist mesh.

Rock Mesh^® is generally used for rocks that exceed the steel wire mesh capacity. The double twist wire provides a high resistance to the thrust and impact of rocks avoiding the propagation of wire ruptures. The wire mesh has two functions: protecting the area from smaller rock and a connecting device for the rope panel.

The weaving of the ropes inside the steel mesh creates a cable panel. The steel cable is secured using the wire mesh connection strength. By using the flexibility of the mesh and the cable, the installation of this system is very fast and easier than other products on the market.

Maccaferri Rock Mesh^® advantages:

• Very fast installation compared to similar products
• No overlap between the panels
• Available in PVC coated steel wire for superior durability
• Four PVC colors available (Black, Brown, Tan and Gray)
• High connection strength between wire mesh and steel rope
