The FOB reference price of hot dipped galvanized rockfall netting rolls is usually around USD 1.2-2.0 per square meter. This is not a fixed price list, and it should not be treated as a long-term guaranteed price. The final price depends on the raw material parameters selected by the buyer and the raw material market price at the time of quotation.
This price refers to double twisted hexagonal rockfall netting supplied in rolls. It is not the total construction cost of a slope protection project. It does not include active protection systems, passive rockfall barriers, anchors, posts, steel rope netting or site installation work.
1. Raw Material Parameters Decide the Starting Point
Hot dipped galvanized rockfall netting is a steel wire product. The price first depends on the raw material parameters selected for the order.
| Factor | Why it affects price |
|---|---|
| Mesh wire diameter | A larger wire diameter usually means more steel is used per square meter. |
| Mesh opening | Different mesh openings affect wire consumption and finished roll weight. |
| Selvedge wire | Heavier selvedge wire adds material to the roll edge. |
| Hot dipped galvanized requirement | Zinc coating requirement affects raw material and processing cost. |
| Roll size | Roll width and roll length affect packing, handling and container loading. |
For this reason, 2.7mm and 3.0mm hot dipped galvanized rockfall netting should not be compared only by product name. Even if both use 80x100mm mesh opening, the actual supply content is different when the wire diameter is different.
2. Wire Diameter and Mesh Opening Should Be Read Together
The most direct specification factors behind the price are usually wire diameter and mesh opening.
| Specification direction | How to read the price |
|---|---|
| 2.2mm + 60x80mm | A lighter wire and smaller mesh opening specification. |
| 2.7mm + 80x100mm | A common rockfall netting roll inquiry specification. |
| 3.0mm + 80x100mm | Heavier material than 2.7mm with the same mesh opening direction. |
The price difference is not only a sales decision. It comes from material use, roll weight, production requirement and order scope. A square-meter price is not useful if the wire diameter and mesh opening are not the same.
For basic specification reading, see the rockfall netting specification table.
3. Hot Dipped Galvanized Requirement Should Be Clear
This article discusses hot dipped galvanized rockfall netting rolls. It does not compare Galfan or PVC coated options.
Even within galvanized rockfall netting, the surface treatment should be clear. If the buyer only says "galvanized netting," the factory still needs to confirm whether the order means hot dipped galvanized wire and whether there is any zinc coating requirement.
The price should follow the confirmed surface treatment, not a vague galvanized product name.
4. Roll Size, Packing and Quantity Affect the Final FOB Quote
Roll size affects packing and container loading. For example, 2x25m rolls and 2x50m rolls may have different single-roll weight, handling condition and packing arrangement.
Order quantity also affects production planning and export preparation. If the buyer needs special packing, labels, accessories packed together or additional inspection records, these details should be confirmed before the price is fixed.
These details are not added to make the quotation complicated. They help make sure the FOB unit price matches the actual supply scope.
5. Raw Material Market Price at the Time of Quotation Also Matters
The same specification may have different prices at different times because steel wire products move with the raw material market.
Therefore, FOB USD 1.2-2.0 per square meter should only be treated as a normal reference range. It should not be written as a fixed price list. A formal quotation should be confirmed according to the raw material market price at the time of quotation.
Old quotations, old screenshots or supplier messages from several months ago should not be used as the current price. A valid FOB price should match the current specification, current raw material cost and quotation validity.
The FOB price of hot dipped galvanized rockfall netting rolls is not a fixed number separate from specification. Before comparing prices, the buyer should at least confirm wire diameter, mesh opening, selvedge wire, hot dipped galvanized requirement, roll size, quantity, packing method and the raw material market price at the time of quotation. Only then does the per-square-meter price have practical comparison value.
