Gabions
Our wire gabion baskets offer a cost-effective, versatile solution for retaining walls, landscaping, ground stabilisation and decorative outdoor features. Supplied as flat packs and filled with stone or other suitable materials, they create strong, permeable structures with a natural finish.
Gabion Basket Applications:
Gabion baskets suit a wide range of domestic, commercial and civil engineering projects, combining practical performance with an attractive appearance. Common applications include:
Gravity retaining walls and earth stabilisation
Garden landscaping, raised borders and stepped features
Decorative planters and outdoor seating bases
Fencing and boundary features
Noise barriers and screening
Riverbank, canal and coastal defence (where appropriately designed)
Their open mesh construction allows water to drain freely through the fill, reducing pressure behind retaining structures and supporting plant growth where required.
Product Specification:
Our welded mesh gabion baskets are manufactured from 3mm diameter galvanised steel wire, forming a rigid structure that holds fill material securely in place. Galvanisation provides good resistance to atmospheric corrosion, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, subject to site conditions. Flat-pack supply keeps transportation and handling straightforward.
We stock gabion baskets in a range of sizes, from 0.5m square up to 2m high by 1m square, all with a consistent 3mm wire specification throughout. When selecting gabions for structural applications such as retaining walls or water defences, an appropriate engineering assessment should be carried out to confirm suitability for the intended loads and site conditions.
