What is a gabion?

A gabion is a rectangular or cylindrical wire mesh container that is filled with stones, rocks, or other materials. These containers are typically used for construction projects such as retaining walls, erosion control, and landscaping. Gabions can also be used for architectural and decorative purposes.

Gabions are highly durable with a minimum 50 year lifespan and extremely versatile, making them a popular choice for a variety of applications. They are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds, and freezing temperatures. Additionally, the permeable nature of gabions allows water to flow through the structure, which helps prevent erosion and soil displacement. They can’t crack or break and never needs maintenance 

Overall, gabions offer an attractive and effective solution for a range of construction and landscaping needs, and are an excellent choice for those seeking a long-lasting and environmentally-friendly solution.
