Gabions are used in many situations including the stabilization of earth movement and erosion, river control, reservoirs, canal refurbishment, landscaping and retaining walls. They can be manufactured in welded mesh or woven wire. Welded mesh gabions are faster to erect and do not need tensioning. This allows them to keep their shape, to be free from bulges and depressions and fit easily against the wall. It is possible to cut holes in them if needed to pass pipes etc through and they can be machine filled.
Gabions are customisable and we can fabricate curves for home garden use. If used for a seating areas slabs can be cut and placed on top of the wall to make a striking feature. When used for a landscaping purpose their versatility is limited only by imagination. For example wine bottles have been used as an infill, or a recent trend is to half fill with stones and half fill with timber logs. FMM can insert a partition at the front of the gabions in order that expensive stone can be used at the front whilst the rest of the gabion can be filled with lower quality aggregate. We also can offer bespoke gabions for specific designs from curves to steps.
An example of a domestic project is shown below. In this case over a weekend a family dramaticlly improved their back garden, clearing away an old fence and installing a smart gabion wall. Gabions are easy enough to install that no experience is necessary to get a good result. Welded Mesh Gabions are hot dipped galvanised to BS 729 or triple life coated. Woven Wire Gabions are galvanised to BS 443. Both can be supplied with a PVC coating, the wire beneath is galvanised to BS 443. The PVC on Woven Wire Gabions is non bonded and gives an average thickness of 0.55mm. The PVC on Welded Mesh Gabions is bonded giving 0.25mm thickness.
Plastic coated units are most suitable for coastal projects. Gabion boxes and Mattresses are made from 76.2mm x 76.2mm nominal (3" x 3" ) Welded Mesh, divided by diaphragms at 1 metre centres where necessary with wire diameters 3mm, 4mm or 5mm. Below are the standard sizes we stock we can produce any size. It is best to keep to the sizes specified to minimise costs.
If you do require a certain height try to keep to combinations of 75mm the mesh size to avoid spot welding.
and this is not all list, you can have other order to us
