The rock we supply is un-weathered and solid without flaking or weathering evident. The correct size to be used must be 100-250 mm minimum size for gabions (1m high baskets).
What gauge wire is used for gabions?
Gabion baskets shall be a minimum of 11 gauge (0.118 in – 3.00 mm) galvanized steel wire, fabricated into hexagonal triple-twist mesh openings no larger than 3 ¼” x 4 ½”. Selvedge wire running through all edges shall be a minimum of 9 gauge (0.148 in – 3.76 mm) galvanized steel wire.
What stone is best for gabion baskets?
Granite Stone for Gabions
- Stone Type : Granite.
- Colour : Silver Grey.
- Colour disclaimer : Stone is a natural recurring mineral so the colour of the stones will vary from the images on our website.
- Shape of stone : Angular and interlocking to reduce pressure on gabion walls.
- Stone Size : Range between 80mm – 200mm.
How do you size gabion walls?
The standard design for a gabion wall is a pyramid. In general, for every 1m increase in wall height, the bottom row basket depth should be increased by half a metre. For a 2m high wall the bottom row should be 1.5m deep and the top row should be 1m deep. It is still standard to use 3mm wire thickness for both rows.

What are Maccaferri gabions?
Maccaferri gabions are cages which are engineered from double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh. Delivered flat-packed, our gabions are assembled and then filled with stones at the project site.
What sizes do gabions come in?

What are delivered gabions used for?
Delivered flat-packed, our gabions are assembled and then filled with stones at the project site. There are numerous uses for these modular units and are typically used to form flexible, permeable and monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, hydraulic control structures and erosion protection.
