Decorative Gabion Wall

Welded gabions are composed of welded mesh panels and spring steel lacing wire. Gabion box is manufactured from cold steel wire electrically welded together then hot dipped galvanized or PVC coating. We mainly supply galvanized welded gabion and PVC welded gabions. Gabion boxes or baskets are designed on the principle of mass earth retaining wall. The strength of the wire mesh helps to with stand the forces generated by the retained soil.

 

Material: Low carbon steel wire, Galvanized wire, Galfan, PVC coated wire.
Hole Shape: rectangular, square
Mesh Wire Diameter: 2.0-4.0mm
Aperture: 60*80mm, 80*100mm, 100*120mm
Standard Mesh: 60x80mm-120x150mm
Surface Treatment: Hot-dipped galvanized, electric galvanized, Galfan, PVC coated.

Benefits:

1) Flexible
Superior to rigid type structures. The welded gabion wire  mesh construction permits natural adjustment to varying conditions of earth settlement without causing fracture or collapse of the structure.

2)Durable
Gaps between the stones silt up naturally as time passes. Silting supports the growth of grass and plants which serve as a bonding agent for the stone. 

3)Permeable
A Gabion structure allows water to pass through, water pressure cannot build up behind it and the structure is continuously drained. 

4)Strong
The flexibility of the Gabion structure provides the inherent strength to withstand and dissipate pressures exerted by water and earth masses. 

5)Economical
Filling materials are usually found on or near the site. No structural maintenance is needed and foundation work is usually unnecessary. 

6)Natural Appearance
Natural stone makes the structure aesthetically pleasing especially when subsequent vegetation growth takes place. 

7)Simple
Unskilled labour can be used for quick assembly. 

8)Maintenance
Gabion structures are easily maintained using additional mesh or grouting. 

9)Extendable
Extensions are simple. Additional units are simply attached to the existing ones.
