PVC Coated Woven Hexagonal 2x1x1m Standard Size Metal Gabions Baskets for River Bank Protection & Slope Stabilization

This PVC coated woven hexagonal metal gabion basket, with a standard 2x1x1m size, is a professional protection solution tailored for river bank anti-erosion and slope stabilization projects. Its base material is high-quality low-carbon steel wire, processed through mechanical double-twist weaving to form a firm hexagonal mesh structure—this weaving method enhances the mesh’s tensile strength, making it resistant to deformation even under strong water impact or soil lateral pressure. The wire surface is covered with a thick, uniform PVC coating; unlike ordinary coatings, it has excellent water resistance, alkali resistance, and UV resistance, which can effectively isolate the steel wire from river water, moisture, and harmful substances in the soil, avoiding rust and extending the product’s service life to over 15 years in harsh outdoor environments.

The 2x1x1m standard modular design optimizes the product’s practicality in engineering. During transportation, the baskets can be folded flat, reducing storage and transportation space by 60% compared to assembled ones, which lowers logistics costs. On-site construction requires no complex equipment: workers only need to unfold the baskets, splice them into a continuous protective belt using matching PVC-coated connecting clips, and then fill them with 50-200mm natural stones or gravel. The filling material not only reinforces the basket’s structure but also forms a permeable barrier—when river water rushes against the bank, the water can seep through the mesh gaps, reducing the impact force on the bank; at the same time, the stones and mesh work together to lock the soil on the slope, preventing soil loss caused by rainfall or water scouring.

ARCHITECTURAL GABION WALLS

Not only are gabions built for strength with minimal foundations needed, but their natural aesthetic is unrivaled. By using onsite material for filling, transportation costs get reduced significantly. In hot climates, these structures also have the potential to act as a shade screen providing passive cooling and ventilation. Lastly, these structures allow easy drainage to the surrounding environment. As a result, these structures comply with industry standards while also helping promote sustainability. Gabion walls are a versatile solution with multiple benefits, making them an ideal choice for many architectural projects.

Gabions offer a unique approach to both drainage solutions and environmentally friendly solutions. Gabions provide sound solutions to erosion and flooding but are also aesthetically pleasing solutions that can enhance the environment while reducing maintenance costs.

Custom Gabions

For many landscaping and decorating applications, a desired effect can usually be achieved using standard sized gabions. However, you may find that using standard sized gabions just doesn't seem to work for your project ... making it necessary to consider using custom units.

We can offer you a free standing gabion wall or fence, a gabion wall veneer in depths starting at 6" in 3" increments and heights from 12" to 8’. Various materials, mesh openings, wire diameters are available upon request.

Gabions can be used to create:

• erosion protection structures
• weirs
• soil retaining walls (gravity and MSE)
• culvert headwalls
