Reno Mattresses consist of rectangular units, fabricated from a
double-twist, hexagonal mesh of soft annealed, heavily zinc coated
wire.
Filled with stone, Reno mattresses are flexible and permeable elements from which
a broad range of structures may be built (river bank protections, channel linings, etc.).
Reno Mattresses are divided into cells 6' wide with diaphragms spaced at 3' intervals, and a
continuous panel of mesh that forms the base, the side and the end walls of the unit to obtain
an open-topped multi-cell container.
All panel edges are selvedged with a wire of a diameter larger than used for the mesh, so as
to strengthen the structure.
Reno Mattresses can also be manufactured with wire mesh additionally coated with a
continuous PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sleeve. This provides protection against
corrosion making them suitable for use in marine or polluted environments.
