A container with hexagonal mesh and a double or triple twisted construction is known as a Reno Gabion Mattress. It is sometimes referred to as a revet mattress or a gabion mattress. In comparison to a gabion box, the height of the Reno mattress is considerably lower. It is frequently used for erosion control, bridge and weir protection, channel linings, and river bank and scour protection. It is also commonly utilized to maintain the stability of embankments.

Some benefits of using Reno gabion mattress include:

Environmental friendly: Reno mattress is an environmentally friendly product and the integration of the Reno mattress structure into the environment is quick and pleasing.

Cost-effective and easy to build: Reno mattress construction does not require skilled labor as they are very easy to construct.

Flexibility: One of the most important advantages of Reno mattresses is their flexibility, both for the individual unit and the overall structure. Engineers can develop gabion structures that are stronger and more resistant to the forces of water using the additional design flexibility that Reno mattresses offer.

Permeability: The permeability of Reno mattresses allows for drainage of water through the structure, which reduces hydrostatic pressure behind the structure.
