Gabions
Our gabion is a rectangular wire mesh box made from double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire, additionally reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges and by transverse diaphragms. These mesh boxes are delivered to site flat-packed, whereupon they are assembled, lifted into position, and filled with durable rock. The modular nature of the gabion means that it can be used in a vast array of applications and configurations. Woven units can also be easily amended on site and shaped to suit project requirements.
Feature:
Supplied in 60x80mm, 80x100mm, 100x120mm mesh size; 1-6meter length and 1-2meters depth.
Heavy duty galvanized, Pvc coated for longevity and durability
Available in: Gabion box and Reno-mattress.
