Gabion Fences: Combining Nature With Modern Engineering

At its key, a gabion (gabiony) wall is really a crate, box, or cylinder filled with stones, concrete, or often sand and soil. These materials are held together by wire mesh, which can be shaped into different types and sizes. Why is gabion walls especially attractive is their mobility; they could be molded to match the contours of the land, making them ideal for making preserving surfaces, garden borders, and sound barriers. Their porous character makes for normal drainage, lowering the chance of erosion—an important gain around old-fashioned stable walls. Furthermore, the cosmetic appeal of gabion surfaces is undeniable, whilst the natural resources used within them can cause an austere yet contemporary aesthetic effect.
