Product Description
Our gabion baskets are constructed from triple-twist hexagonal chain-link wire mesh, where three wires are spirally interwoven to prevent unraveling even if individual wires sustain damage. These stone-filled wire mesh containers serve as durable, cost-effective retaining structures for civil engineering projects, alternatively called gabion cages, stone bastions, or rock containment systems.
Key Advantages
- Economical alternative to reinforced concrete walls (ideal for 0.5-4m height applications)
- Environmentally adaptive design compliant with natural terrain deformation
- Aesthetically natural “dry stone wall” appearance
- Dual application: Gravity retaining walls or reinforced earth structure facings
