Gabion Box

To be rectangular baskets fabricated from a hexagonal mesh of heavily galvanized steel wire. The baskets are filled with rock and stacked atop one another to form a gravity- type wall. Gabions depend mainly on the interlocking of the individual stones and rocks within the wire mesh for internal stability, and their mass or weight to resist hydraulic and earth forces. Gabions are a porous type of structure that can sometimes be vegetated. Gabions are considered to be a “hard” structural solution that has minimal habitat and aesthetic value.To be rectangular baskets fabricated from a hexagonal mesh of heavily galvanized steel wire.
