Gabions are mostly used as soil protection retaining wall or mass gravity retaining
structures for landscape construction. Welded wire mesh gabions can also be used as
architectural mesh in buildings. Main types of architectural gabions: Galvanized
steel, pvc coated or Galfan coated welded gabions. The cages are filled with stone
to form a flat container form, then placed one by one and connected firmly to each
other with high tensile lacing wire. They are used to build an ancient-feeling
cladding for the walls in castles or villa. Welded mesh gabions inner lined with
geo-mat can be used for military bastion.
Reasons that gabions are chosen for architectural wall cladding:
1, The welded mesh panel structure gabions are hot dipped galvanized or green
plasticized, hence achieve the surface of bright silver or Dark green color or other
colors for options. They offers different styles of decorations to the building. You
can choose according to your design needs.
2, The gabion boxes with hot dipped galvanized steel or plastic coated steel mesh
enjoy good corrosion resistance and work for a long time. Hence can form a permanent
wall cladding that is maintenance free. It will not collapse even under big scope of
deforming.
3, The cost of the welded mesh gabions are economic.
4, The stone gabions offers a long-time-story-telling feeling and suit all castles.
5, The gabions baskets are designed with collapsible structures for filling natural
stones. The stones can be easily found anywhere, to save cost and to give a nature
decorative effect.
6, The gabions wall cladding plays the role of retaining the soil as well as
decoration.
7, The hexagonal twisted mesh gabions are not suitable for wall cladding as the mesh
are flexible and not as solid and strong as welded mesh basket containers.

Welded Mesh Gabions are also Used:
Welded gabions have a wide range of uses besides architectural uses. They are used
in slope support, foundation pit, mountain rock face mesh protection gabion, slope
vegetation (green), railroad highway isolation guarding block. They are also made
into cages, nets mats, scour protection of rivers, levees and seawalls, reservoirs
and river closure with a cage. For control of river water flow, flood control,
massive soil erosion control. By using of gabions, they can make the river banks
receive permanent or semi-permanent protection.
