What is a gabion fencing?
Gabion fencing (also called a stone basket) is a basket that consists of steel wires that are welded together and connected to posts (also called profiles). For a gabion fence, Twin wire mesh fencing that is thermally galvanised is often used. The gabion can then be filled with sturdy and heavy material, usually stones. The construction of the basket in combination with the material in the basket ensures that it becomes a strong whole. The gabion is filled with natural materials and is therefore seen as a sustainable investment.
Gabion fence
By filling the gabions with natural materials, the gabions have little to no view into the garden. For example, the gabion can be filled with wood, but is mainly filled with stone. In the case of stone baskets, the gabion is in any case filled with stones. The stones of the gabions consist of natural stone chunks. Gabions are also often called gabion fences. The gabions are suitable for every garden and fit well with different architectural styles.
Advantages
The advantage of gabions is that they are maintenance-free and very durable due to the use of natural materials. The gabion fence is also galvanised, which makes the material resistant to various weather conditions, including bright sunlight and heavy rain showers. In addition, the galvanisation ensures that the gabion is resistant to rust formation. The gabion provides a unique and natural look in your garden.

Installing Gabion fencing
We are happy to install the gabion fence system. We have professionals for that. We then firmly place the gabion posts (we also call these profiles) in concrete. However, the surface must be suitable for this, a gabion filled with stones is very heavy. By the way, we do not fill it. This can be done by hand, but also with a crane.
PLEASE NOTE: fill the gabion evenly, slowly and carefully. Otherwise there is a chance that the system will sag or become unstable.
