PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Gabions are compartmentalized rectangular containers of galvanized steel hexagonal wire mesh that are filled with stone. While maintaining sufficient strength to contain the stone used as a fill, gabions must be able to settle, twist, and conform to channel and foundation shifts.

In order to meet the various needs, gabions must have the following features:

Hexagonal mesh pattern critical points

Double twist to avoid unraveling

Reinforcing wires woven into corners to reinforce critical points

A diaphragm securely attached at the base that will prevent the shifting of some and reinforce the gabion.
