Product name:Welded Gabion Box for Protection and Decoration Gabion Basket
shore protection
Welded gabion box is widely used in retaining wall structures, rockfall and soil
protection and so on. Welded gabions are filled on site with hard
and durable stone to form mass gravity structures. And welded
gabions are quicker and simpler to install than woven mesh gabions.
In more applications, the welded gabion box can be made into
different sizes and shapes for decoration applications. They can be
made into gabion pot, staircase, table and bench, postbox. It can
also be used to form particular landscapes, such as waterfall,
fireplace and decorative wall.
Material of welded gabion box
Welded gabion box is manufactured from cold steel wire for tensile
strength. It is electrically welded together then hot dipped
galvanized or PVC coating, ensuring a longer life and better
corrosion and rust resistance performance. There are galvanized
welded gabion and PVC welded gabions. Gabion boxes are designed on
the principle of mass earth retaining wall. The strength of the
wire mesh helps to with stand the forces generated by the retained
soil.

Welded gabion box advantages:
- Blends easily and harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
- Low cost alternative to concrete or masonry structures.
- Very high resistance to natural forces due to better tensile
strength.
- Can withstand any unpredictable movement or settlement without loss
of stability.
- Simple and speedy installation, making it cost effective.
- Quality finish and appearance is more aesthetically pleasing.
- More rigid than woven mesh resulting in a more uniform finish when
built.
- Quicker and cheaper to install than woven mesh gabions because no
pre-stretching required.
- Special gabions sizes and mesh such as gabions with 4 mm front mesh
and 3 mm mesh else can be available.

How to install welded gabion box?
- Erect ends, diaphragms, front and back panels on the bottom section
of gabion.
- Fasten each parts of gabion through the mesh opening in adjacent
panels with spiral wires, C ring, U clip and other connection
method.
- Install the stiffeners. The stiffeners shall be places across the
corners, at 300 mm from the center. Providing a diagonal bracing
and crimped over the line and cross wires on the front and side
faces. It is no need n the interior cells.
- Fill the welded gabion with stones, sands, soils, woods and other
materials.
- Close the lid and secure in the same way with the step 2 connection
method.
- When stacking tiers of the welded gabion box, the lid of the lower
tier may serve as the base of the upper tier. Secure with spiral
binders and add pre-formed stiffeners to exterior cells before
filling with graded stones.
