What are electrowelded gabions?
Electrowelded gabions are rectangular or cubic modules that are made of welded wire. Bodies are shaped like metal grids that are connected together by spirals, wire or staples to form a parallelepiped. Electrowelded gabions vary in size and can be produced with minimal decorative ones to meters in length on large construction sites. Gabions are one of the most environmentally friendly choices for construction and installation activities because they do not cause damage to the environment. Although they themselves are made of metal gratings, their installation uses mainly natural materials, including pieces of rock, various types of river stones, gravel, wood and wood products. Gabion metal mesh ensures their structural stability and preserves the geometric shape of the gabion, while the rock fragments, which are mainly used for filling, perform an important load-bearing function. At the same time, in addition to high bearing capacity, gabions have a long service life.
Characteristics of electrowelded gabions
Wire size: Electrowelded gabions are made of galvanized wire mainly with a diameter of F3.00 or F4.00.
Types of coating: the main coating for this type of gabion is zinc coating. It protects the metal from the harmful effects of the atmosphere (atmospheric water, rain, snow, wind and temperature amplitudes), as well as from corrosion. Galfan wire or hot-dip galvanized gabions can be made to order.
Types of cells: the standard openings of the electrowelded gabions are mesh size: 50×50 mm, 50×100 mm, 100×100 mm, the most commonly used size is 50×100.
Advantages of electrowelded gabions
- High stability and load-bearing capacity – gabions are able to withstand very large loads. The combination of rock materials and metal mesh increases the load-bearing capacity and durability of the structure. The components complement each other. The high curb weight of gabion structures contributes to their resistance to impact, overturning and slipping.
- Durability of the construction – the gabions themselves are extremely durable not only in time but also in various external weathering and corrosion. Thanks to this, gabions retain their durability and appearance for years to come.
- Easy installation and maintenance – gabions are structures that do not require significant capital investment during their installation and operation. They are characterized by extremely long life. Their coating preserves the metal, and the rock fragments are also not affected by the weather, which leads to the elimination of special maintenance over time.
- Budget solution – as a solution gabion structures are relatively budget, and for comparison can be taken into account the necessary funds for the implementation of a solid reinforced concrete structure. They are easy to install, machines are required only for large and difficult objects. The aggregate material with which they are filled is mainly rock fragments, which are also low cost.
- Environmental friendliness and safety – gabion structures are environmentally friendly. The cavities between the rock fragments in the gabions allow the vegetation to grow without hindering its development. The metal mesh of the gabion is an ideal supporting skeleton for all creeping plants. This makes them a perfect choice for various landscape projects in yards, gardens, parks, etc.
Applications of welded gabions
- Erection of dense and non-dense fences.
- Construction of walls and dressing of walls with gabions.
- Step-shaped design and terracing of yards and gardens.
- Fencing of flower beds, flower gardens, paths and more.
- Creating decorative garden elements.
- Execution of garden furniture of different designs.
- Strengthening small to medium slopes and landslides prone to landslides.

In order to choose the most suitable model of electric welded gabion, it is necessary to take into account basic factors. It is important to consider what external efforts the structure itself will be subjected to and whether its purpose will be support or simply decorative. Accordingly, the diameter of the bodies for the production of the gabion is chosen. According to the application, the most suitable size can be chosen for the site, and despite the lower price of the largest gabions, their application to small sites is not suitable. Smaller gabion sizes provide higher structural stability and durability. The opening of the cage (eye) of the gabion must be in accordance with the size of the gabions, its application and especially the inert material that will be used to fill it. If you are not sure what type of gabions you need, you can always contact our consultants for a free consultation by phone or email.
