Heavy Galvanized Welded Gabion Baskets with 50mm X 50mm mesh size
for Garden
Welded Gabion Baskets
Gabions and Rock mattresses are made from steel wire mesh laced
together and filled with rocks to form monolithical structures that
can provide a cost effective and sometimes unique solution to many
problems in riverworks, soil stabilisation, flood and scour
protection and coastal defence.
Mainly used for civil works:
Earth Retaining Structures
Reinforced Soils
River Training
Coastal Protection
Canal Lining
Dam Overflows
Scour Protection
Marine Revetment
Rock Fall Protection
Headwall Construction
Recently gabions have become popular with homeowners and
landscapers for constructing retaining walls and benches. There are
rigid or flexible gabions available to suit a range of
applications.
What is a Gabion Wall?
Gabions are essentially rocks in baskets! Wire or welded mesh
baskets are commonly filled with sandstone, bluestone or river
pebbles. From a 4000 year old idea, the modern Gabion baskets were
first industrially produced in the 1880’s, when the double twisted
wire mesh was first introduced. This particular double twisted
woven netting ensures that in the event of a wire being cut, the
double twist prevents the unraveling of the mesh. All the edges of
the Gabion baskets are reinforced by a stiffer and even stronger
wire.
Around the world Gabion retaining walls have been an effective,
environmentally friendly solution where erosion has been a problem.
Gabions are used widely for water and drainage management and are
ideal for river and seawalls. Another common use for Gabions are in
noise or sound barrier walls as they diffuse, absorb and reduce
noise.

Qijie Welded Gabion Baskets use 5mm welded, hot dip galvanised
steel mesh in a 50mm x 50mm grid. This gives you 45% more steel
than 75x75mm grid baskets which adds substantially to the overall
strength. This will minimize the chance of "bulging" which is often
seen in weaker baskets.
All edges are bound together using spiral joiners which form two
passes within each 50mm opening- again to double the strength.
