Gabion Baskets

Gabions are rectangular cages made from hexagonal double-twisted wire mesh filled with appropriately sized stones or quarry rocks. The mild tensile steel wire used in construction is class A galvanized per SABS 675 of 1993 standards. For enhanced protection, the galvanized wire can be coated with a 0.5 mm thick layer of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). This coating improves resistance against corrosion, particularly in harsh environments.The gabions are divided into separate compartments using diaphragms, which are mesh panels spaced at 1-meter intervals for improved strength and stability. This design allows the structure to withstand shifts and adjustments in the foundation or terrain.

Customization CapabilitiesGabions can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, and wire specifications can be adjusted to meet different project requirements:

• Wire Diameter
  Customizable wire thickness between 2 mm and 8 mm allows for increased or decreased structural strength as needed.
• Coating Options
  Besides galvanization, gabion wire can be coated with PVC for added corrosion resistance. Available in different colors to blend with the environment or create a specific aesthetic.
• Mesh Size and Basket Dimensions
  Mesh sizes can be adjusted to suit specific stone sizes or project needs. Basket lengths can vary from 0.5 m to 6 m, and heights can be customized.
