GALFAN Gabion Baskets 10 Gauge

Create strong, durable and professional-looking retaining walls, erosion control systems and decorative stone structures with these Premium GALFAN Gabion Baskets. Manufactured from heavy-duty 3mm (10 Gauge) welded steel wire, these gabion baskets feature an advanced GALFAN coating containing 90% zinc and 10% aluminium, providing excellent corrosion resistance for demanding outdoor applications. The GALFAN finish offers improved long-term protection compared with traditional galvanised steel, making these welded gabion baskets suitable for domestic, commercial, landscaping and civil engineering projects.

Supplied flat packed for efficient transportation and storage, each gabion basket includes welded mesh panels, helicoil spiral connectors and internal strengthening wires for straightforward assembly and improved structural stability. Once assembled, the baskets can be filled with suitable gabion stone, cobbles, decorative rock or recycled aggregate to create strong, permeable structures. Their open mesh construction allows water to drain naturally, helping reduce hydrostatic pressure when used for retaining walls and other ground engineering applications.

Available in a wide range of dimensions, these 10 Gauge GALFAN gabion baskets can be used individually or joined together to create larger gabion wall systems. They are suitable for retaining walls, raised planters, decorative garden walls, boundary features, riverbank stabilisation, erosion control, embankment reinforcement and larger infrastructure projects. With an expected service life of approximately 50–100 years, depending on installation environment and exposure conditions, they provide a long-term, low-maintenance solution for gabion landscaping and structural applications.

How GALFAN Gabion Baskets Work

Gabion baskets provide a strong, permeable framework that is filled with suitable stone or aggregate. Once filled, the weight of the stone combined with the rigid welded steel mesh creates a stable structure suitable for landscaping, retaining and erosion control applications.

The open mesh allows water to pass through the filled basket, providing natural drainage and helping to reduce water pressure that can build up behind retaining structures. Multiple baskets can be positioned and connected together to form longer walls, tiered structures, raised planters and other bespoke gabion installations.

GALFAN Protective Coating

These gabion baskets are manufactured from steel wire protected with a GALFAN coating comprising 90% zinc and 10% aluminium. This coating is designed to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and long-term protection for outdoor steel mesh applications.

The GALFAN finish makes these baskets particularly suitable for landscaping, retaining walls and other installations where the steel will be exposed to outdoor conditions for extended periods.

Welded 10 Gauge Construction

The baskets are manufactured from 3mm (10 Gauge) welded steel wire, creating a rigid mesh structure that maintains its shape when assembled and filled.

Unlike flexible wire mesh baskets, the welded construction provides a strong and professional-looking framework for stone-filled walls, planters, boundaries and structural landscaping features.

Assembly & Installation

The gabion baskets are supplied flat packed to simplify handling, transportation and storage. Assembly is carried out using the supplied helicoil spiral connectors, with internal strengthening wires included to help maintain the basket shape and provide additional stability.

Once assembled and positioned, the baskets should be filled with suitable gabion stone, cobbles, decorative rock or recycled aggregate appropriate for the intended application.

For retaining walls, erosion control and other structural applications, the ground preparation, basket positioning, drainage requirements, foundation design and installation method should be appropriate for the site conditions and expected loads. Professional advice should be obtained where the gabion structure forms part of a significant retaining or civil engineering project.

Available Sizes

All supplied variants feature 75mm x 75mm mesh apertures and 3mm (10 Gauge) welded steel wire.

Note: The supplied product information references various mesh aperture sizes in general, but all of the specific variants supplied for this listing are 75mm x 75mm.

Suitable Fill Materials

The open-cell gabion construction is designed to be filled with suitable hard-wearing materials such as:

• Gabion stone
• Decorative rock
• Cobbles
• Recycled aggregate

The choice of fill can be used to create either a functional structural feature or an attractive decorative finish, depending on the intended application.
