Reno mattresses are made of metal mesh double twisting (wire thickness 2.7 mm), with hexagonal cells. Height of Reno mattress is less than 0.45 meter. To enhance the frame mattress, the diameter of the edges wire is 3.4 mm. Such a design can always loads up to 5000 kg/m2. Provides protection against corrosion zinc galfan the polymer. The name mattress were due to the small ratio of height to length and width. With its low height Reno mattresses have a large coverage area. They, as well as box gabions, the diaphragms are divided into sections with an interval of 1 m in length. Cell size is 8 cm × 10 cm and 6 cm × 8 cm depending on the purpose of gabion. Reno mattresses are filled with stones, forming a monolithic structure.
Wire mesh used for mattresses reno, made of galvanized steel wire or solid wire coated galfan. In the case when the reno mattresses used in hostile environments, the wire for the manufacture of the process of galvanizing (or coating galfan), and then further coated shell of PVC. PVC coating protects the wire and provides greater resistance to chemical, mechanical and corrosion damage.
