Which Wire Thickness?
| Wire Diameter | Use For: |
| 3mm | Standard wire thickness for walls up to 5m. Low-cost option. Will result in minor bulges when filled with rocks. Suitable if architectural, straight edge finish is not required. |
| 4mm | 5m+ high & free-standing walls. Use for seating or surfaces that will be walked on. Will give an architectural, straight edge finish when filled carefully with interlocking rocks. |
| 5mm | 5m+ high walls & free-standing walls. Use for seating or surfaces that will be walked on. Best for an architectural, uniform and precise finish. For use in public parks. Can be used with rounded stone fill. |
