Stone cages, also known as gabion walls, are wire mesh containers filled with rocks or other materials used as retaining walls or erosion control structures. The cages are typically made of galvanized steel or PVC-coated steel wire mesh and come in various sizes and shapes to suit different applications.
Rock cages are often used for retaining walls because they are strong, durable, and flexible. They can be used to build walls of different heights and lengths and can be easily customized to fit the site's specific needs. The wire mesh allows water to flow through, reducing the risk of hydrostatic pressure build-up behind the wall, which can cause failure.
The rocks used to fill the cages are typically chosen for their size, shape, and weight to ensure stability and prevent movement or erosion. Common materials used for filling the cages include quarried rock, river rock, and recycled concrete.
Size & Mesh Flexibility: Standard or custom dimensions (length, width, height) available. Mesh openings (e.g., 6x8cm, 8x10cm, 10x12cm) and wire diameters adjusted to match your fill material and structural needs.
Material Options: Select from galvanized steel, PVC-coated galvanized steel, Galfan (zinc-5% aluminum alloy), stainless steel, or plastic copolymers based on corrosion resistance requirements.

Different retaining wall and erosion-control projects require different gabion structures. The following options can help you identify the most suitable product before requesting a quotation.
Double-twisted wire gabion baskets are commonly used for gravity retaining walls, embankments, road construction and riverbank protection. Their flexible mesh structure can accommodate limited ground settlement without cracking like rigid wall materials.
Welded gabion baskets provide a more rigid structure and uniform appearance. They are generally selected for garden retaining walls, architectural landscaping, decorative walls, seating walls and other projects where straight lines and visual consistency are important.
A gabion mattress has a larger surface area and lower height than a standard basket. It is suitable for channel lining, riverbed protection, shoreline erosion control and protecting the foundation area below a retaining wall.
For reinforced soil structures, steep slopes and higher retaining walls, a reinforced gabion retaining system may provide additional soil reinforcement behind the gabion facing. Product selection should be based on soil conditions, wall geometry and engineering calculations.

While we specialize in custom orders, the following standard sizes are commonly used for retaining wall and erosion control applications:
| Type | Common Dimensions (L x W x H) | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Small Baskets | 2m x 1m x 0.5m / 1m x 1m x 1m | Garden walls, landscaping, small retaining structures |
| Medium Baskets | 2m x 1m x 1m / 3m x 1m x 0.5m / 3m x 1m x 1m | Roadside slopes, riverbank protection, medium-height walls |
| Large Baskets | 3m x 1m x 1m / 4m x 1m x 1m | Highway retaining walls, slope stabilization, flood barriers |
| Gabion Mattresses | 3m x 2m x 0.17m / 0.23m / 0.3m | Channel linings, riverbed and shoreline erosion control |
Permeable
Gabion walls are well-known for being highly permeable. What does that mean for you? Simply put, they require less drainage. In many cases, you won’t even need additional drainage behind the wall because there’s less water pressure building up.
Sustainable
Gabion walls are a sustainable choice. They’re filled with minimally processed stones, a natural material that can often be sourced locally. With proper maintenance, vegetation can grow through them, helping the wall blend into the environment. Plus, compared to traditional concrete retaining walls of the same size, gabion walls have a much smaller carbon footprint.
Durable
Our gabion walls are built to last. They’re strong, yet flexible enough to adjust with the landscape. Unlike rigid materials like concrete that can crack with ground movement, gabion structures adapt to settling and shifts in the terrain.
We offer a wide range of standard and custom-made gabion products—all made in the USA. You can choose from various materials and finishes, including galvanized steel, PVC-coated galvanized steel, Galfan steel, stainless steel, and plastic copolymers.
