2.7mm Wire Thickness Gabion Stone Box 2x1x1m With PVC Coated And Galvanized
Factory Large Stock PVC Coated + Galvanized 2*1*1m With 2.7mm Wire Thickness Gabion Box Wall
A box-shaped wire mesh gabion for erosion control, the most common civil engineering application, was refined in the late 19th century in Italy and patented as the Maccaferri gabion.
It was used to stabilize shorelines, stream banks and slopes. Other uses evolved, including retaining walls, noise barriers, temporary flood walls, silt filtration from runoff, small dams, fish screening, channel lining, and stepped weirs, which enhance the rate of energy dissipation in a channel.
Now this kind of Gabion Box is mainly produced in China, as China has a very complete industrial chain, from raw materials to wire production and processing, galvanizing, and weaving. This makes Chinese gabion prices very competitive.

Product Usage
- Erosion Control: Woven gabion mesh is frequently used to stabilize slopes and riverbanks, effectively preventing soil erosion by holding back loose earth and allowing for proper water drainage.
- Retaining Walls: This mesh is ideal for constructing retaining walls that not only secure hillside soil but also add an aesthetic, natural look to landscapes.
- Flood Protection: Forms durable barriers that can divert water flow, reducing the risk of flood damage and protecting nearby infrastructure.
- Coastal Defense: Used along shorelines to stabilize sandy beaches and cliffs, mitigating the effects of wave action.
- Road and Highway Embankments: Reinforces road embankments by retaining soil and reducing the likelihood of landslides.
- Bridge Abutments and Foundations: Strengthens abutments and supports foundations in bridge construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are Gabions?
A: Gabions are wire mesh cages made from GALFAN-coated steel, designed to be filled with stones or other hard materials for retaining wall or decorative purposes.
Q: What are Gabion Baskets used for?
A: Gabions serve various purposes, from controlling erosion and creating retaining walls to landscaping enhancements like garden seating, tables, or decorations.
Q: How to fill Gabion Baskets?
A: Begin by preparing the site where the gabion will be placed. Place larger stones at the corners and edges, then fill the interior ensuring they are packed tightly. Use a mix of stone sizes for better stability. Secure the top once filled.
Q: How to install Gabion Baskets?
A: Each Gabion arrives as a flat pack kit, including all necessary components for installation. You will need to assemble the wire panels using the helicoil wires and additional support wires provided.
Q: How to join Gabion Baskets together?
A: You can secure multiple Gabion Baskets together using steel clips or the helical wires. Secure the steel clips with a pair of pliers.
Q: How to tie Gabion Baskets?
A: Lacing wire can be used to join adjacent baskets as well as for extra support between panels to help prevent bulging when filling.
Q: How to stop Gabion Baskets from bulging?
A: Ensure an even distribution of materials throughout the basket and don't overfill it to prevent bulging.
Q: What stone to use in Gabion Baskets?
A: Angular stones are recommended for effective compaction and stability. Avoid rounded stones, which are more suitable for decorative purposes.
Q: What size stone for Gabion Baskets?
A: The size of the stone typically depends on the mesh hole size. With a 80mm x 100mm mesh hole size, larger stones or cobbles are ideal.
Q: How much are Gabion Baskets?
A: The cost of Gabions can vary depending on their size and the specific requirements of your project.
Q: Who Invented Gabion Baskets?
A: Gabion baskets have been in use for centuries, with their earliest use being dated back to Ancient Egypt. In their modern form, their design is credited to Italian engineer Rene Maccaferri.
