What salt spray resistance does galvanized Hexagonal Wire Mesh have?

Tested to ASTM B117 — no red rust for 72 hours and no base-metal rust for 480 hours.

Can Hexagonal Wire Mesh be filled with stone for slope protection?

Yes — it is woven into gabion cages and mats for slope protection, riverbank reinforcement, and flood control.
