GABION SUPPLIERS - QUALITY MADE IN USA
GABION SUPPLIERS - QUALITY MADE IN USA
Our PRO-TEC I™ WELDED WIRE GABIONS are highly durable and versatile, making them a popular choice for constructing a gabion retaining wall plus a variety of applications. They are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds, and freezing temperatures. Also, the permeable nature of gabions allows water to flow through the structure, which helps prevent erosion and soil displacement. Our standard size gabions are pre-assembled in the factory and shipped knocked down in flat packs and supplied with helical assembly spirals, corner stiffeners and tie wire... all the necessary components for assembly.
These containers are typically used to construct retaining walls, landscaping and decorative architectural applications.
Gabions are usually filled at the job site with durable rocks and when uniformly stacked, produce an appearance of a natural dry stone wall.
Common applications:
Overall, gabions offer an attractive and effective solution for a range of construction and landscaping needs, and are an excellent choice for those seeking a long-lasting and environmentally-friendly solution.
PRO-TEC I ™ Gabions are fabricated In accordance with ASTM A974, gabions are manufactured with all panels mechanically connected at the production facility. They are supplied in collapsed form and stacked in bundles for easy job site assembly. Where the length of the gabion exceeds the width, the length is divided equally into cells using diaphragm panels so that each cell is no greater than one cubic yard. Each gabion is supplied with enough accessories (vertical spirals, temporary fasteners, lacing wire, and preformed stiffeners (3’ high baskets only)) to completely assemble and install, with minimal tools required.
See gabion & mattress installation guide. All gabions are made in the USA.

FILLING NOTES:
Choose the right rocks for your gabion project. Flat faced, angular rocks or round river rocks are the the recommended for filling gabions measuring 4 - 8 in.
Place the larger stones at the bottom and the sides of the gabion, with flat rocks facing the walls of the basket. Minimize voids using smaller stones in the center of the gabion where they cannot escape from the mesh openings.
The quickest option for large projects is to start fill the gabions using a powered machine such as a front end loader or excavator. After filling a portion, arrange the face rocks by hand for a natural stone look and to minimize voids.
(see example of DECO-FACE Gabion photos below)
After the gabion has been filled, close the lid and secure it with the helical spirals, tie wire or hog rings
Shown here is a DECO FACE gabion wall consisting of gabion baskets with a wire retaining panel inserted close behind the front face and filled with expensive deco rocks. The remaining space behind the deco face is filled with inexpensive fill materials.
