Purpose and Use

The first thing you need to consider when purchasing welded gabions is the purpose for which you will be using them. Gabions can be used for various purposes, such as retaining walls, erosion control, landscaping, and decorative purposes. Different purposes may require different sizes and shapes of gabions, so it's essential to determine what you need them for before making a purchase.

Size and Shape

The size and shape of the gabions will depend on the purpose for which you are using them. The standard sizes for welded gabions range from 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.5m to 2m x 1m x 1m. However, you can also have custom sizes made to fit your specific needs. The shape of the gabions can also vary, from rectangular to square to cylindrical. It's important to choose the right size and shape to ensure that the gabions are strong and stable enough for their intended purpose.

Material

Welded gabions are typically made from galvanized steel wire mesh, which provides durability and resistance to corrosion. However, the wire mesh can also be coated with PVC to provide additional protection against corrosion and increase the lifespan of the gabions. It's important to choose the right material to ensure that the gabions are suitable for the environment in which they will be used.

Installation

Welded gabions can be installed in various ways, such as being stacked on top of each other or using a post and panel system. The installation method will depend on the purpose for which the gabions are being used. If you are unsure about the installation process, it's best to seek advice from a professional to ensure that the gabions are installed correctly and safely.

Supplier

Choosing the right supplier is also essential when purchasing welded gabions. Look for a supplier with a good reputation and experience in providing high-quality gabions. A reliable supplier should be able to provide advice on the best size, shape, and material for your specific needs and offer installation services if required. It's also important to consider the cost of the gabions and ensure that you are getting good value for money.

In conclusion, welded gabions are versatile and durable structures that can be used for various purposes. When purchasing welded gabions, it's essential to consider the purpose and use, size and shape, material, installation, and supplier to ensure that you get the right product for your needs. With careful consideration, you can purchase high-quality gabions that will provide long-lasting strength and stability.

FAQ&#;s

What is a gabion?

A modular containment system (called a gabion basket or cage) made from wire mesh and filled with rock, stone or other non-degradable materials.

Usually square, rectangular or trapezoidal in shape, these stone-filled units can be placed side by side and on top of each other for use in a range of construction projects e.g. gravity retaining walls.

How long will the gabion baskets last?

In normal environmental conditions, you can expect 50 to 100 years if the gabions meet the Bristish Manufacturing standards for abrasion (EN :) and corrosion protection (BS EN -2:).   There are a lot of cheaper products entering the market which are made with inferior materials offering far last corrosion resistance and a much shorter lifespan. 

Are they sometimes called stone cages?

Yes. Sometimes our customers refer to them as stone cages.  They have also been referred to as, wire cages, rock cages.

Common Uses

Filling Guidance 

• Choose a hard, durable, non-degradable and free-draining material
• Usually between 100mm-200mm diameter
• Or at least larger than 75mm x 75mm mesh aperture
• Pick angular stone for best interlocking potential = less deformation of the face
• Quarried stone is preferred due to angular properties
• Rounded stone has less interlocking potential. Use 4 or 5mm wire mesh
• Ideally, all exposed faces should be hand-packed
• If machine filling, take care to minimise large voids
