Gabion Baskets: Definition, Types, and Selection Guide - qbmetal

Gabion Wall Baskets: Parameters, Manufacturing Process, and Applications

Process: Metal wires are woven through a gabion machine to create hexagonal mesh openings. This makes the mesh structure flexible and able to follow the land contours and vary the water velocities as desired in its application in the control of rivers and water flow.
Gabion Wall Baskets Parameters:
1、Wire Diameter: 
• Mesh Wire: 2-4mm.
• Edge Wire: The diameter is usually about 0.5mm to 1mm more than that of the mesh wire.
• Tie Wire: It is usually between 2mm2.5mm in diameter.
2、Steel Wire Tensile Strength:
• The steel wire tensile strength complies with the standard of ISO , which is 350MPa-500MPa.
• The yield strength of the wire is normally in the range of 250MPa-450MPa.
3、Mesh:
• Aperture Some of the common aperture sizes are; 60x80mm, 80x100mm, 100x120mm.
4、Gabion Box Dimensions (L x W x H):
• Some of the popular sizes are: 2x1x1m, 3x1x1m, 4x1x1m and other customized sizes.
5、Wire Twist Type:
• 3-Twist Weave: In every intersection, the metal wires are twisted three times.
• 5-Twist Weave: At each intersection, the metal wires are twisted five times for better strength and stability. 

Welded Wire Gabion Baskets: Structure, Benefits, and Applications

The welding process includes welding steel wires in both the vertical and horizontal positions to produce rectangular mesh openings. The mesh panels are joined to each other to create a six-panel rectangular container with a level and even surface. This structure is used in a variety of applications that demand high strength, including retaining walls, gabion wall fence, and landscape designs.
Welded Wire Gabion Baskets Parameters:
• Mesh Wire Diameter: 2mm – 6mm
• Spiral Wire Diameter: 2.4mm – 3.8mm
• Mesh Aperture Sizes: 50x50, 60x60, 50x70, and others
• Gabion Box Dimensions (LxWxH): 0.5×0.5×1m, 1×1×1m, 1×1×2m and other custom sizes
• Connection Methods: The panels are connected by spiral binding wire, C-rings or U-clips to give it a strong and stable construction.
