Welded mesh gabions are made from cold-drawn steel wire that is electrically welded together. The wire is available in stainless steel, hot-dip galvanized, or Alu-Zinc coated options to ensure durability. Additionally, the meshes can be polymer-coated to protect against corrosion and weathering effects, particularly in salty and highly polluted environments.

Gabion Sizes

Welded mesh gabions are available in various sizes tailored for different uses, from structural projects to aesthetic applications.

• 1x1x1m Gabion: Ideal for general use in retaining walls and landscaping structures.
• 1.5×0.5×0.5m Gabion: Suitable for low retaining walls or garden borders, offering a longer and shallower design.
• 1.5x1x1m Gabion: Provides increased volume for larger soil retention or landscape features.
• 2x1x1m Gabion: Best for large-scale projects like extensive soil retention and sound barriers.
• 500x500x500mm Gabion (Israel): A smaller cube, perfect for detailed, compact projects.

Coatings

Welded mesh gabions are available with a variety of coatings to enhance their durability and suit different environmental conditions.

• Hot Dip Zinc Coated: This coating involves immersing the mesh in molten zinc, providing excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for harsh environments.
• Electro Galvanized: A thinner zinc coating applied electrochemically, suitable for indoor use or less corrosive environments.
• Plastic/Polyester Coated: Available in green, black, and grey, this coating covers the galvanized wire with plastic or polyester to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for landscapes and visible areas.
• Galfan: A mixture of zinc and aluminum offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanization, particularly effective in coastal or polluted areas.
