Product Description
Flexible, great value support and design with gabion baskets
Gabion baskets are a great, cost-effective way of adding structural support and decorative features to your garden. Gabion baskets can even form the foundation of much broader engineering projects like retaining walls. Available in a wide variety of sizes, they’re incredible versatile and easy to use. And thanks to the tough wire structure, extremely hard wearing too!
Whether you’re fighting erosion or adding feature stonework, Gabion baskets could be the solution. Also known as Gabion cages, they can also dam rising water levels (or create a fantastic water feature). Not only do they provide incomparable stability at minimum cost, but they can also look highly decorative and stylish too.
Flatpack Gabion Baskets
Our gabions are supplied as light, flatpack kits that are easy to transport and even easier to put together. We also supply high quality gabion stone in 100-200mm sizing for the perfect fit and a pristine, authentic and stunning stonewall aesthetic. Why not mix things up a bit – with your choice of decorative stone on the outside faces of your gabion, and hard-working, more cost-effective aggregate at their core for both form and function!
