Trade Grade PVC Coated Gabion Box 11 Gauge Steel Mesh

11 Gauge Gabion Box

The PVC Coated Gabion Box provides a high-tensile containment solution for civil engineering and heavy-duty landscaping projects. This 11-gauge wire mesh unit features a galvanized steel core protected by a thick polymer layer to resist chemical degradation and mechanical wear. It serves as a reliable component for gravity retaining walls and hydraulic structures in aggressive environments.

Built for the Job

Contractors specify this gauge of wire for projects requiring significant structural weight and flexibility. The double-twist hexagonal weave ensures that the mesh does not unravel if a single wire is cut or broken during rock filling or site settlement. This structural integrity makes the baskets suitable for high-flow water channels and steep slope stabilization where standard galvanized units might fail due to abrasion or soil acidity.

• Construction of mass-gravity retaining walls to prevent soil migration on tiered sites.

• River bank protection and bridge abutment reinforcement in high-scour zones.

• Culvert headwall construction and coastal erosion control in saltwater environments.

Product Highlights

Dual-Layer Protection

The internal galvanized steel core receives a secondary UV-stabilized polymer coating to prevent oxidation in wet or acidic soil conditions.

Structural Reinforcement

• 11-gauge wire thickness provides a high strength-to-weight ratio for vertical stacking.
• Selvedge wires are thicker than the body wire to reinforce edges and prevent distortion during filling.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x Collapsible Mesh Basket Unit

• Sufficient PVC-coated lacing wire for assembly and installation

• Internal stiffeners for face-bulge prevention

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure the foundation is leveled and compacted before placing the first course of baskets.

• Use the provided binding wire to lace all vertical and horizontal edges every 150mm to maintain structural unity.

• Fill the containers in 300mm layers, installing internal cross-ties between layers to prevent the face from bowing outward.

• Select clean, hard rock fill between 100mm and 200mm in size to ensure proper drainage and interlocking within the mesh.
