Gabion Wire Mesh Baskets

Gabions - Welded Wire Erosion Control Baskets 11 gauge 3"x3" GAW (galvanized after welding) mesh

Gabions are a simple, quick and convenient way to build strong, flexible, permeable, and economical rock-filled structures that work well in a wide variety of situations. Gabion mesh is made from heavy 11 gauge wire which is welded into a 3"x3" mesh. After the mesh is welded, it is dipped in a bath of hot zinc, giving it excellent Galvanized After Weld (GAW) protection against rust and corrosion. For extremely harsh and more demanding environmental conditions, gabion mesh is also available with a thick and durable coating of PVC. This double protection assures a longer lifetime.

Gabion wire mesh is available in pre-cut panels which are used to make gabion baskets. The standard basket size is 3'x3'x6'. If larger baskets are required, 9' and 12' lengths are also available. And if a job calls for custom size baskets, specific size panels can be special ordered.

Versatile gabion baskets can be used for channel linings, architectural and landscaping features, soil stabilization, sea walls, breakwaters, bank revetments, monolithic gabion retaining walls, storm water filters, weirs and many other commercial and residential applications.

The design potentials of gabions are limitless. Placement of baskets as well as the texture and color of the stones used for fill are variables you can manipulate to build creative designs.

Welded wire gabion baskets are ideal for residential landscaping projects.

The pre-assembled welded wire gabion baskets are shipped flat. Spirals and struts required to complete assembly are also provided and included in the price. Baskets are easily and quickly put together. Once fully assembled at the project site and put in place, the baskets are filled with rocks.

The gabions collapse to fit on a standard pallet for shipping!
