Metal gabion box for erosion control and slope stabilization
Product Description:
Gabions are metal wire baskets that are filled with a local stone

Mattresses are a specialised form of gabion which are, in that they
have a relatively larger plan size and shallower depth. Their
primary use is in protecting the bed of watercourses from excessive
scour - they aim to prevent the water ripping up its own bed, most

sudden change in water level.
Both Gabions and Mattresses are usually referred to as 'baskets'
and they come in a variety of dimensions, from mini gabions for
decorative use in gardens to mattresses for river bed protection.
There is a range of mesh sizes to suit the various applications and

the finished result is often very aesthetically pleasing.
