Product Description
Build Modern & Natural Structures With Modular Gabion Cages
Speed up construction and cut costs with our easy-to-assemble gabion systems. Fill with local stone for a durable, sustainable, and visually striking finish in walls, benches, and facades. Free design support included.
Product Overview
Our gabion cages are engineered wire mesh containers, designed to be filled with stone on-site to create flexible, permeable, and monolithic structures. They are the optimal solution for slope protection, channel lining, retaining walls, and landscape architecture. Manufactured to international standards, they offer unparalleled durability, environmental benefits, and cost-effectiveness for civil and architectural projects.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification / Description |
|---|---|
| Material & Coating |
High-Quality Steel Wire: Primarily low-carbon steel wire. • Standard Coating: Heavy galvanized (zinc coating ≥ 220 g/m²) for general use. • Premium Coating: Galfan (Zn-5%Al-Mischmetal) alloy coating. Offers 2-3 times longer corrosion resistance than standard galvanization, ideal for harsh environments. • Optional: PVC coated over galvanized wire for added protection and color (green, black, grey, etc.). |
| Mesh Type | Double-Twist Hexagonal Mesh: This self-healing mesh will not unravel even if a wire is cut, ensuring structural integrity. Standard hexagonal openings. |
| Common Sizes (Gabion Box) |
Customizable. Common dimensions (L x W x H): • 2.0m x 1.0m x 1.0m • 3.0m x 1.0m x 1.0m • 4.0m x 1.0m x 0.5m • 2.0m x 1.0m x 0.5m (Other sizes available upon request) |
| Common Sizes (Gabion Mattress) |
Thinner units for channel lining and slope paving: • 3.0m x 2.0m x 0.3m • 4.0m x 2.0m x 0.3m • 6.0m x 2.0m x 0.3m |
| Mesh Opening | Common sizes: 60mm x 80mm, 80mm x 100mm, 100mm x 120mm. Sized to prevent stone fill from protruding. |
| Wire Diameter |
Varies based on design requirements: • Mesh Wire: Typically 2.0mm to 3.0mm. • Selvedge Wire: Thicker by 0.5mm-1.0mm for strength. • Lacing/Bracing Wire: Supplied for assembly. |
| Standards Compliance |
Manufactured in accordance with or equivalent to: • European Standard: EN 10223-8:2013 • ASTM Standards: A975-97 (Reapproved) • Other International Specifications |
Advantages of Metal Gabion Structures
- Superior Durability: Galfan or heavy galvanized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring a long service life even in saline or acidic environments.
- Flexibility & Strength: The double-twist mesh design allows the structure to settle and adapt to ground movement without failure, offering superior crack resistance compared to rigid concrete.
- Permeability & Drainage: Excellent natural drainage eliminates hydrostatic pressure buildup behind the structure, crucial for slope and retaining wall stability.
- Eco-Friendliness: Promotes natural vegetation growth within the fill, blending with the environment and improving ecological value.
Metal Gabions Installation Process
- Ends, diaphragms, front and back panels are placed upright on the bottom section of wire mesh
- Secure panels by screwing spiral binders through the mesh openings in adjacent panels
- Stiffeners shall be placed across the corners, at 300mm from the corner. Providing a diagonal bracing, and crimped
- Box gabion filled with graded stone by hand or with a shovel
- After filling, close the lid and secure with spiral binders at the diaphragms, ends, front and back
- When stacking tiers of the welded gabion, the lid of the lower tier may serve as base of the upper tier. Secure with spiral binders and add pre-formed stiffeners to exterior cells before filling with graded stones
Ordering & Delivery Information
- Packing: Gabions are supplied knocked down (KD) as flat panels bundled together with lacing wire, shrink-wrapped on pallets for efficient shipping
- Delivery Time: Typically 15-30 days after order confirmation, depending on order quantity and specifications
- Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): Usually 1x 20ft container, or negotiable for sample orders
