What Is Gabion Basket?

Gabions are metal cages or boxes filled with stones. The meshes are square, rectangular, or hexagonal. They are made of galvanized steel wire, zinc-aluminum alloy steel wire, or PVC-coated iron wire. According to the process, they are divided into woven gabions and welded gabions. According to the coating, they are divided into galvanized gabions and PVC coated gabions. They have the advantages of flexibility, good water permeability, impact resistance, durability, and corrosion resistance. They are used for slope protection, retaining earth and flood control projects.

Advantages of Galvanized Gabion Boxes

1. Durability

Both galvanized and PVC-coated wire meshes have excellent corrosion resistance. It is extremely efficient to resist natural destruction and the influence of severe weather. Its service life is more than 25 years, and it generally requires no maintenance.

2. Flexibility

Gabion wire mesh box has good tensile resistance. Especially, woven wire mesh has a flexible structure, which can withstand a large area of deformation without breaking. Even if a piece of wire breaks, it will not affect the whole structure.

3. Great Landscape and Protection Effect

Gabion wire baskets combine engineering and greening, which can effectively prevent soil erosion. After putting the stone or other filling materials into gabions, 30% gaps are left. The gaps allow the plantation to grow over time. Using gabions will not destroy the natural environment. On the contrary, it is an ideal choice for landscaping and greening.

4. Stronger Impact Resistance

The impact resistance of the gabion basket structure is more than twice the impact resistance of the general protective wall. The gabion netting is a flexible structure, when affected by the scouring of water, the stones in the gabion basket will not affect the overall performance, even if they are displaced by impact.

5.  Easy & Quick Installation

It is easy to install. Just put the stone in the gabion cage and seal it. No special skills are required and no electricity or water are required, neither.

6. Cost-effectiveness

Gabion wire mesh uses fewer materials, which makes it more economical than conventional structures. Besides, it requires less maintenance and lower labor costs.

Applications of Gabion Baskets

• Water conservancy projects: used for river management, embankment reinforcement, flood control, and revetment projects to fill stones and form flexible slope protection structures. Permeability can reduce water erosion, allow vegetation to grow, and enhance ecological restoration.
• Road and bridge projects: used for roadbed reinforcement, slope protection, retaining wall construction, etc. Its anti-deformation ability enables it to adapt to uneven settlement of the foundation.
• Landscape and garden projects: used to build landscape walls, flower beds, and seats in parks, squares, courtyards, and other places. Its plasticity makes it perfectly integrated with the natural environment and practical.
• Coastal protection: In the field of coastline protection and breakwater construction, it can resist the impact of waves and protect the coastline from erosion. Corrosion resistance ensures its service life in the ocean.
• Mines and quarries: used for slope support and tailings pond protection. It can stabilize slopes and prevent landslides and collapses.
• Ecological restoration projects: In the fields of wetland protection, soil and water conservation, and ecological slope protection, it is used to fill soil and vegetation. Its permeability and air permeability are conducive to plant growth.
• Military and Protection: At border posts, it can be used to build protective walls and bunker structures. Its high strength and impact resistance can provide effective protection.

Weight calculation formula

Weight (kg)= wire diameter (mm) * wire diameter (mm)* mesh count * length (m)* width (m)*1.5/2.

For example, the wire diameter is 2 mm, and the mesh hole size is 60*80 mm. The mesh count will be 25.4/(60+80)=0.18. It is 1 m in length and 1 m in width. Then the weight of the wire mesh (per square meter) is about 2*2*0.18*1*1*1.5/2=0.54 kg.

How Long Does Galvanized Gabion Basket Last?

Usually, its lifespan is 10 to 60 years. It is directly related to its installation environment and coating. Different environments, such as salt water, fresh water, and highly acidic soil, will affect the long-term durability of the structure. Coating thickness, uniformity, and hardness will also directly affect its service life. The higher the zinc content of the coating, the more uniform and smooth the coating, the better the anti-corrosion performance, and the longer the service life.

Lifespan of different coatings

1. Standard galvanizing (Zinc Coating)

• Z60 (60g/m²): 15-20 years in general environment, 8-12 years in coastal/high humidity environment.
• Z80-Z120: up to 20-30 years, suitable for medium corrosion areas.

2. Galfan (zinc-aluminum alloy coating)

• The lifespan is extended by more than 50% (30-50 years), and the salt spray resistance is stronger.

3. PVC-coated galvanized steel wire

• The comprehensive lifespan is 40-60 years, and the PVC layer provides additional mechanical and chemical protection.

Classification of galvanized gabion mesh

Classification by coating treatments

• Galvanized gabion basket: The surface is galvanized, which has strong corrosion resistance. The thickness of the galvanized layer can reach up to 275g/m2.
• PVC coated gabion basket: The surface is coated with poly PVC or vinyl, which is resistant to UV, weather and erosion. There are rich color options, such as green, black, white, etc. The service life is longer than that of galvanized gabion.

Classification by production process

• Welded wire mesh: It has a smooth surface and uniform mesh, which is more aesthetic and stronger. Also, welded gabions are more resistant to corrosion. We have welded gabion boxes available in square and rectangular mesh hole shapes. It is popular for retaining wall structures, landscaping & architectural structures, etc.
• Woven gabion: It is made by twisting wires into hexagonal wire netting, which has a more flexible structure. It is mainly used for retaining wall structures, erosion, scour protection, etc.

How To Choose Gabion Wire Mesh?

As an experienced gabion basket manufacturer, we suggest choosing gabion wire mesh according to its intended use. You need to take the product material, wire diameter, opening size, coating, and processing technique into consideration.

Choose woven wire mesh

As mentioned, woven wire mesh is flexible and soft to adapt to various environments. It can keep its strength and integrity even under great stress and strain, so it is suitable for rockfall protection barriers, slope stabilization, etc.

Choose welded gabion mesh

Welded gabion cage has a beautiful and durable appearance, harder material. So it is commonly used for landscape architecture, decorative cladding, retaining walls, etc.

Choose PVC-coated gabions

If you want more color options and you have enough budget, PVC-coated gabions will be your best choice. It has double-layer anti-rust protection and has the longest service life.
