What is a Gabion fencing?
A gabion, also known as a stone basket, is a structure consisting of a cage made of steel wires that are welded together and connected with posts, also called profiles. Gabions are often made from hot-dip galvanised twin wire mesh fence panels, making them resistant to various weather conditions. The cage is filled with sturdy and heavy material, usually stones, resulting in a very strong and durable construction.
Gabion Fence
Gabions are often used as fences. These fences offer a lot of privacy because they are filled with natural materials such as stones or wood. The most common filling for gabions is natural stone chunks. The use of natural materials makes gabions suitable for various architectural styles and contributes to a natural look in the garden.
Advantages of Gabions
- Maintenance-Free: Gabions require little to no maintenance.
- Durable: The use of natural materials makes gabions a sustainable investment.
- Weather-Resistant: The thermal galvanisation of the steel ensures that the cage is resistant to various weather conditions such as sun and rain.
- Rust-Resistant: The galvanisation prevents rust formation.
- Unique Appearance: Gabions give a unique and natural look to the garden.
