Gabion Wall

Gabion wall are double twisted hexagonal woven 95% Zn and 5% Al coated steel wire mesh compartmentalized baskets with a rectangular box shape.

Gabion Wall Description

Gabion Garden Wall

Gabion walls are executed mainly in the purpose of soil stabilization behind the wall, but it can also be executed as a cover wall. The wall si made from gabion baskets that are stacked in one or more rows, depending on the height of the wall. Baskets have a cage shape and are closed on all sides. They are made from a galvanized hexagonal meshes and brocken rock that are placed in the baskets. Retaining structures are formed by stacking gabion baskets in a proper schedule and present an alternative solution for concrete structures in the area of soil stabilization.

The Galfan coating provides improved corrosion resistance in comparison to a conventional galvanized coating, combining, in effect, the passive corrosion inhibition of aluminum oxidation with the active and passive effects of zinc. Galfan (95% zinc, 5% aluminum) has proven to be 2 to 3 times more corrosive resistant than the same thickness of hot-dipped galvanized. Depending on the environment, it may take 50 years to 150 years for 5% rust to show on the surface of Galfan when above ground.

Gabion wall shall be manufactured with an 80 x 100, 100x120 mesh type having a nominal mesh opening of 3x1x1 gabion mesh,83 x 114 mm, 104x135 Tolerances on the mesh opening shall not exceed ± 10% on the nominal dimension D values. A gabion wall is an affordable retaining wall that averages $5 to $40 per square foot.

Gabion retaining walls in their simplest form are a fusion of rock and metal wire. Gabion walls are essentially simple in nature and structure, essentially forming a large wall of stacked rocks. For tiles, crushed bricks and cobblestones, which are often used in gabion retaining wall construction, all materials used should be evaluated for size and strength to ensure optimum integrity. 

Already in use for thousands of years, gabion retaining walls are a tried and true structure that can provide an aesthetic and practical addition to urban spaces and redevelopment projects.

How long do gabion walls last?

Gabion walls will last as long as the mesh wiring that holds them together. While you can reasonably expect any of these structures to last a long time, some of the wiring can last up to 60 years!

Better yet, you rarely have to worry about the filler material falling apart. So if you are considering replacing your existing gabion cage retaining walls, you can keep costs down by reusing the fill material.

What are gabion walls used for?

Gabion baskets for streams: Gabion baskets are commonly used to prevent erosion and stabilize streambanks. The baskets are filled with rocks and placed along the banks of streams and rivers to prevent the water from eroding the soil and causing damage.

gabion baskets for erosion control: Gabion baskets are also used for erosion control on hillsides and slopes. They can help to prevent soil erosion and landslides by holding the soil in place and allowing vegetation to grow through the rocks.

Retaining walls: Gabion walls can be used as retaining walls to hold back soil and prevent erosion. They are often used in landscaping and garden design to create terraced slopes and raised flowerbeds.

gabion garden wall: Gabion baskets can be used for decorative purposes in gardens, parks, and public spaces. They can be filled with river rocks, decorative stones, or other materials to create unique and attractive features.

Flood protection: Gabion walls can be used as a temporary measure to protect against flooding. The baskets can be quickly filled with sand or other materials and stacked to create a barrier that can divert water away from vulnerable areas.

Are gabion walls strong?

With the ability to withstand a lot of stress, their rustic appearance makes gabions a practical and attractive feature if you wish to use them in your landscaping project. In addition, over time, these gabion cage retaining wall tend to become more structurally sound due to the buildup of vegetation and silt. They have a sturdy base that prevents them from being damaged during heavy rains, making them an excellent, hardy retention option.

What materials are available for gabion walls?

Manufacturers use a variety of materials to manufacture gabion basket retaining wall, depending on the application of the wall. Whether you are looking for a landscaping aid or a permanent fixture for your garden, you can use different materials to meet your needs.

What are gabion walls made of?

Typically manufacturers manufacture gabion walls from galvanized steel. Another popular choice is PVC-coated wire. Finally, although it is not as common,we can provide galvanized gabion, galvanized gabion baskets, galvanized gabion box, galvanized gabion mesh,  you can find gabion wall mesh made from rust-colored steel to give it a more rustic appearance.

Gabion Wall Applications

Gabion walls have an application mostly in road engineering, e.g. construction of roads, embankments, retaining walls, slope protection, water barriers etc., 

and can have different functions:

• creation of a barrier that prevents soil erosion in coast and embankment stabilization

• prevention of sliding and washouts

• water speed reduction in prevention of soil erosion in water ways

• noise protection

• aesthetic fence structures for gardens


Benefits of gabion walls:

• Aesthetic – gabion walls look natural and by using natural materials fits into the environment

• Compatibility with the environment – using the material made by excavations the costs of acquisition and transport are significantly reduced

• Is used as a cooling system in hot climate conditions and provides passve cooling by air movement

• Water permeability – gabion walls are permeable and are not damaged by passing water

• Efficiency of gabion walls can increase in time, since the vegetation fills voids and strengthens the wall structure

• Soil movements don’t negatively influence gabion walls, which is an advantage in regard to stiffer structures (reinforced concrete walls)

• Longevity – stone blocks are materials that are frequently used beacuse of their longevity, durability and stability. Usually the stone is selected beacuse of aesthetic attributes or the possibility of excavation produced material usage.

Common gabion basket dimensions are 2,0 x 1,0 x 1,0 m. Galvanized mesh has a hexagonal shape with the eye size X x Y = 8,0 x 10,0 cm.


After the baskets are stacked they are connected with galvanized wire to prevent deformation under the weight of upper gabion rows.

Brocken rocks that are used as a fill have to be from natural stone resistant to atmosferic influence. Rocks are placed in the vicinity of gabion baskets and are machine or hand placed. After filling, baskets are closed and connections on meshes are attached with galvanized steel rings.


Gabion baskets are folded when transported to the construction site in order to take up as little as space as possible. After transport, baskets are unfolded, connected and prepared for positioning.
