Our PVC Coated Gabion baskets are engineered for high-performance erosion control and structural stabilization. Available in both woven and welded configurations, these versatile cages are designed to be filled with stone, providing a flexible yet robust solution for retaining walls, slope paving, and stream bank protection. By combining the structural integrity of steel with a protective PVC layer, our gabions offer exceptional resistance to corrosion in the most demanding environments.
Manufactured in accordance with the ASTM A975-97 Gabions standard, our products utilize soft temper steel wire heavily coated with Galfan (Zn-5% Al-MM alloy) before the PVC application. This dual-layer protection ensures an extended service life, making them the ideal choice for outfall structures, weirs, and drop structures where constant exposure to moisture and chemical elements is inevitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Woven gabions use a double-twisted hexagonal mesh that is more flexible and adapts better to ground movement, while welded gabions provide a more rigid structure and a cleaner aesthetic appearance.
PVC coating adds an extra layer of protection over the Galfan zinc-aluminum alloy, making the baskets significantly more resistant to saltwater, acidic soils, and harsh chemical environments.
Yes, they are ideal for stream bank protection and weirs because their permeable nature allows water to pass through while the stone fill prevents soil erosion.
Yes, while we have standard sizes like 1x1x1m and 2x1x1m, we offer OEM/ODM services to create custom dimensions tailored to your specific engineering requirements.
Galfan is a zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy. It provides much higher corrosion resistance than standard hot-dipped galvanizing, especially in industrial and coastal areas.
The baskets are laced together using heavy-duty lacing wire (2.2mm to 3.2mm) to form a monolithic structure that distributes the load evenly.
