Geofabrics® Rockfall Mesh is a double twist steel wire mesh designed to secure unstable slopes and protect infrastructure against falling rocks and debris. Its flexible, high-strength structure allows the mesh to contain loose rock while adapting to uneven rock faces and steep terrain.
By containing loose rock and preventing detachment, Rockfall Mesh provides cost-effective and long-lasting protection for roadways, rail corridors, construction sites and mining operations. Its open design also allows for effective water drainage and supports natural vegetation growth, which improves both slope stability and environmental integration.
Rockfall Mesh is ideally suited for protecting transport infrastructure, mining operations, steep cuttings, quarries and other high-risk environments where rockfall hazards pose a significant safety and operational risk.

WHY CHOOSE ROCKFALL MESH?
- Made from 8 × 10 double-twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh manufactured in accordance with EN 10223-3, providing a durable and flexible rockfall containment solution
- Zn-5%Al coated steel wire provides enhanced corrosion protection and long-term durability, with a tensile strength of 350–550 N/mm²
- Designed as a flexible drapery system to contain loose rock and debris and protect structures, roads and railways, while adapting to irregular rock faces and steep slopes
- Double-twist construction resists unravelling, even if wires are cut, providing reliable performance against rockfall loads and debris movement
- Quick and easy to install using binding wire or metal rings
- Allows vegetation growth through the mesh, supporting long-term slope rehabilitation
- Reduces maintenance and repair costs compared to structural concrete or large-scale excavation solutions
Rockfall Mesh is supported by dedicated technical specialists at Geofabrics Australasia and advanced design tools to deliver safe, efficient and tailored rockfall protection solutions for every project.
