Welded gabion mesh forms rigid wire panels that are connected into baskets and filled with suitable stone. It is used for landscape walls, drainage features, erosion-control works, and architectural boundaries. The mesh is one component of a complete assembly; basket geometry, connectors, diaphragms, stone grading, foundations, drainage, and project loads all matter.
Woven and welded gabions are different forms
Woven hexagonal gabion mesh is flexible and commonly used in suitable hydraulic or slope-protection systems. Welded gabion baskets use rigid panels and visible connectors, often giving a more regular face for landscape or architectural work. Neither should be substituted without checking the design and application. See the hexagonal wire netting guide for the twisted-mesh family.
Specify the complete basket
State panel opening, wire diameter, material and coating, basket dimensions, connector type, lids, diaphragms, required finish, stone size range, packing, and installation basis. A request for “gabion mesh” alone does not define the finished structure. The wire mesh RFQ guide helps keep these fields comparable.
At receipt, check panel geometry, welds, coating condition, connectors, packing damage, and item identity before assembly. Use the receiving inspection checklist to document the handover. For broader product context, see what wire mesh includes or use the contact page for a project topic.
