If you've got the creativity, we've got the mesh
Standard or Custom
Welded from heavy 11 gauge wire, typical gabion mesh has 3" x 3" openings, with Galvanized After Weld mesh as the standard--protecting against rust while offering a long life. In coastal or saline environments, a tough coating of PVC is recommended to offset corrosion and this, together with the galvanization, offers double protection. Also available: panels for assembling gabion baskets, with a standard set of dimensions being 3' x 3' x 6' or a larger set can be ordered in lengths of 9' and 12'.
It's very possible that your project may require a different set of specifications--gabion mesh can be customized and special ordered.
At Louis Page, we love the ingenuity applied to the design of gabions and the endless variety of uses for them, whether it's for walls, casual seating, embankments or planters, the list goes on. The sturdiness and style make these small or great feats of engineering an enhancement to whatever surroundings they inhabit.
They are also used for
- erosion control
- bank stabilization
- channel linings
- weirs
Now just for fun, here is a look at the process of putting a large construction project together:
