Gabion Baskets Retaining Wall Galvanized Gabion Boxes Heavy Zinc Coated for Flood Control
Baskets are manufactured from a double twisted heavy duty hexagonal woven wire mesh. The double twisting prevents unravelling in the event of some wires getting cut or damaged.
Woven mesh gabion baskets are nowadays usually refered to as the traditional gabion. They have been in use for retaining wall construction for a long time and is a tried and tested retaining solution. You may also wish to consider our range of Welded Mesh Gabions.
Gabion Cages are available in range of sizes in half metre steps with the 2x1x1m gabion cage being the most common size. Other common sizes are 1.5x1x1m, 1x1x1m, 2x1x0.5m, 1x1x1m etc. Larger sizes such as 3x1x1m and 4x1x1m are also available to special order. Smaller landscaping sizes such as 2×0.5×0.5m are also available. Sizes are always denoted in Length x Width x Height where the third dimension is always the vertical height.
Woven Mesh Gabions are also available as es. es are available 3x2m or 6x2m in plan and 0.17m, 0.23m 0.3m or 0.5m thick. es are typically used for erosion control and scour protection.

Features of the Gabion:
The pliability and flexibility of the woven mesh makes it extremely flexible and tough and the ideal solution for civil engineering applications typically on poor or uneven ground, where some deformation of the basket is required or expected. The resulting wall also tends to look more natural, giving it a dry stone wall effect. As a result it particularly suits retaining wall applications for river training and coastal defence applications.
Woven Mesh Gabion retaining walls can be designed using the traditional gravity retaining wall concept, or alternatively, they can also be used as the facing element for reinforced earth retaining structures.
