Gabions have been known since ancient times. In the old days, they were used to reinforce river banks, slopes, embankments and embankments, construct bastions, fortifications and war shields, and, above all, for heavy road or hydrotechnical construction. Nowadays, these lightweight, openwork structures are very often an important architectural element, serving not only practical, but also decorative purposes.
Specifics of welded mesh gabions
Gabions are structures of various dimensions, offering relatively simple installation. They mainly use braided steel mesh, which can be welded or welded. We provide our customers with robust welded mesh gabions. They are in the form of a cuboid. They are connected at the edges with spirals, thus providing excellent quality and strength. Welded gabions are also distinguished by much better resistance to a variety of external factors than woven mesh. They are also properly protected against corrosion (hot-dip galvanized according to EN ISO 1461).
Examples of gabion applications
The possibilities for using gabions are very wide. The construction of gabions is characterized by durability, rigidity and resistance to changing weather conditions or corrosion, which is very often used during various public works. Gabions are ideal for building retaining walls, reinforcing slopes, embankments, soil stabilization. They reinforce the terrain, protecting it from landslides, which is especially important in the event of heavy rains, for example. They are also used to reinforce banks or regulate riverbeds. They are successful in their role as effective erosion protection.
They are also commonly used in gardens and green spaces in urban areas. Garden steps, posts, flowerbeds or fence bases can be made using gabion baskets. In small architecture, they also appear in the form of retaining baskets, raised beds or decorating facades. They can also be used as part of a fence, or even to protect a barbecue or other equipment in the garden.
