Gabion Baskets

Gabions are rectangular cages made from hexagonal double-twisted wire mesh filled with appropriately sized stones or quarry rocks. The mild tensile steel wire used in construction is class A galvanized per SABS 675 of 1993 standards. For enhanced protection, the galvanized wire can be coated with a 0.5 mm thick layer of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). This coating improves resistance against corrosion, particularly in harsh environments.
