Geoweld welded gabion baskets make ideal garden retaining walls for any landscaping project. Made in mild steel to a minimum wire coating of 290 grams per m2 which is 10% aluminium and 90% zinc. Geoweld has a high aluminium content coating which over time, turns the mesh into a dark grey colour - which has the benefit of absorbing light rather than reflecting it.
Gabions are also used for retaining walls due to its low cost and ease of installation compared to conventional methods.

FUNCTION
Retaining
Geosynthetic or geogrid acts to support soil laterally so that the structure can be retained at different levels on the two sides. Retain (holds back) any material (usually earth) and prevents it from sliding or eroding away. Gravity retaining and reinforced soil retaining walls are designed to resist the material pressure of the material that it is holding back.
