Landscape design ideas: gabions! 80 beautiful garden and backyard ideas!

Gabions are containers made of metal wire. The gabion device involves the construction of a frame, inside which a certain material is placed.

The filling material can be:

- wood
- crushed stone;
- stone;
- cobblestones;
- gray pebbles

The advantages of gabions:

- Flexibility - the mesh resists any type of load and does not break. Even strong erosional erosion does not lead to destruction. Only slight deformation may occur.
-Excellent strength characteristics - in the process of making boxes, a mesh for gabions is used, which has good operational properties. The wire is coated with zinc, polymer or galfan coating. For this reason, the mesh has excellent resistance to negative mechanical and biological effects.
- Water permeability - this indicator is quite high. This eliminates the risk of hydrostatic loading.
- Long service life - the reliability of structures does not decrease over time, but systematically increases. During operation, soil is compacted in the voids between the stones and grass begins to grow. Therefore, mesh baskets are transformed into powerful blocks that merge with nature. The full consolidation period is approximately 5 years. Upon completion of this process, gabions become as stable as possible and serve indefinitely.
- Profitability - no special equipment and drainage systems are needed to install the boxes.
- Ease of installation is of great importance because it does not require the involvement of qualified personnel. In the manufacture of structures, a double twisted mesh and stones that do not need processing are used. Therefore, the cost of building materials is acceptable.
