We manufacture Class A Galvanised and PVC coated, hexagonal woven wire mesh and Square Weldmesh gabion materials.(Galv. only) The woven mesh, with high tensile strength also has a high compressive strength when filled with suitable un-weathered rock. Our materials are made to the SANS 1580 standards and used in a very wide range of applications.

Gabions come in a wide range of sizes, measured in length x width x height of basket (measurements in metres). Standard sized baskets are available, listed below, other sizes can be made depending on the quantity and specific size required, bearing in mind they take longer to manufacture than standard units.
