Gabions

Gabion have now become a trending outdoor feature and the construction of thin walls or cladding made from narrow depth gabions, have become popular in spaces where there isn't room for a retaining wall that follows the standard designs.

 As gabions require vertical faces and are narrow depth, extra support to provide stability is necessary. This can be provided by using metal or concrete posts at regular intervals inside the gabion basket.

Fine Mesh Metals supply a range of gabion baskets specifically for this purpose, made from 4mm dia wire to provide the added strength required to prevent deforming of the face, with minimum basket depth of 0.3m, preferably 0.5m
