Gabion walls are in their element for ‘natural’ style facade trends. An impressive solution if you want to blend a building into the landscape – or make it stand out – gabion walls rely on wire mesh cages to hold rocks and stones in place, forming a sturdy and safe architectural feature.

How to choose wire mesh for gabion walls

Because the wire mesh is what gives a gabion wall its structure and durability, it’s essential to choose a wire mesh that’s up to the job of holding all the rocks solidly in place. For gabion walls, we’d always recommend welded wire mesh.

Welded wire mesh is made by resistance welding longitudinal and transverse wires together at each overlapping joint. This gives the wire mesh superior strength, making it perfect for any load-bearing applications. It also makes the wire mesh very rigid and inflexible – which is exactly what you need when creating a gabion wall.
