FS: Heavy Duty Gabion Stone Baskets
Heavy Duty Gabion Stone Baskets
The most common use of gabions is to stabilize shorelines or slopes against erosion.
Other uses include retaining walls, temporary flood walls to filter silt from run-off, for small or temporary/permanent dams, river training, channel lining.
They may be used to direct the force of a flow of flood water around a vulnerable structure, divert streams and rivers.
Gabion baskets have some advantages over loose riprap because of their modularity and ability to be stacked in various shapes.
They are also resistant to being washed away by moving water.
Gabions also have advantages over more rigid structures because they can conform to ground movement, dissipate energy from flowing water, and drain freely.
Their strength and effectiveness increases with time, as silt and vegetation fill the interstitial voids and reinforce the structure.
Please note that these don't have top mesh lids like in the picture.
40 available in total.

these also make for great architectural features in landscaping work so if anyone is doing a garden make over they look pretty nice if filled with correct stone large raised beds, hide ugly walls/fences etc...XC90 T8 R Design Pro
