Garden Gabion Baskets

6-gauge, hot dipped galvanized steel wire mesh gabion baskets with 2" by 2" mesh openings. These Garden Gabions are easily assembled with the use of spirals and can be filled with your preferred aggregate.

Key Features of Gabion Baskets

Gabion baskets are sturdy wire mesh containers, typically crafted with flexible galvanized steel. The baskets are filled with stone, sand, or other types of dense aggregate materials to create a stable structure and keep soil intact. The flexible yet durable design ensures gabion baskets can adapt to ground movement and elemental pressure without losing stability.

In most cases, gabion baskets are shipped flat and filled with materials on-site. Gabion baskets are also designed for easy stacking and interlocking, and the mesh and eco-friendly filler materials allow for permeability when they come in contact with the elements.

Gabion Basket Applications

Gabion baskets are utilized in various applications, ranging from decorative landscaping to coastal erosion projects. Some common gabion basket applications include:

• Retaining walls. Gabion baskets are often used in retaining wall applications to create an even, stabilized surface for slopes. The baskets also help prevent soil erosion by slowing down water flow.
• Decorative landscaping. Gabion baskets create stable, aesthetically pleasing structures when used in landscaping projects. Some uses include raised garden beds, large planters, and outdoor seating. The baskets can also be filled with decorative rocks and other natural materials to create garden accent walls.
• Coastal erosion. When placed along coastlines and filled with permeable rocks or sand, gabion baskets create a protective barrier that allows slow water flow and absorbs wave energy. Coastal baskets also help promote stable shorelines by retaining water sediment and diverting excess water.

Benefits of Gabion Baskets

Gabion baskets are a cost-effective solution for controlling erosion and drainage in a variety of applications. When compared to traditional concrete retaining walls, gabion baskets are generally easier to maintain. Their eco-friendly designs support natural habitats and promote vegetation growth, and the overall sturdiness of the baskets allows for lasting use.
