Our Gabion Basket kits are versatile engineering structures that are suitable for both commercial and landscape / garden applications. They can be used for erosion control, retaining walls, slope stabilization, and riverbank protection. In simple terms, Gabions consist of a wire mesh cage which are then filled with stones or rocks, forming a heavy yet flexible structure that can adapt to ground movement without failing. When filled with decorative stones gabions provide a decorative and cost effective alternative to walls and fences and even garden seating.
Key characteristics of gabions include:
- Strong and durable construction: Our Gabion kits are made with Crapal®Premium wire which offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Galvanised wire. The mesh size is 10cm x 5cm.
- Range of Size Options :We offer a range of sizes to suit a variety of applications and design specifications. Please pick from the options below.
- Excellent drainage performance: Because gabions are permeable, water can pass through the stone-filled cages easily. This reduces hydrostatic pressure behind retaining structures
and helps prevent soil erosion. - Flexibility and stability: Unlike rigid concrete walls, gabions can tolerate settlement and deformation, making them suitable for unstable slopes and riverbanks.
- Environmental compatibility: The open spaces between stones allow soil accumulation and vegetation growth over time, helping the structure blend naturally into the environment
and improving ecological stability. Common applications include: - River and canal bank protection
- Slope stabilization
- Retaining walls
- Coastal and shoreline protection
- Road and railway embankment support
- Flood control structures
- Decorative walls / dividers
- Garden seating
- Garden terraces
- Privacy screening
Gabions are valued for their combination of structural performance, cost effectiveness, ease of installation, and environmental benefits. They can be used to great effect in garden design to create separate zones within the one outdoor space. Enhance the aesthetic of your outdoor space with your own personal choice of stone filling, and gabion size to bring a unique blend of colour and form to your garden.
