When compared to Woven Mesh gabions, Weld Mesh Gabions are substantially easier, quicker and thus cheaper to fill and install. The ease and speed of installation more than compensates for the nominal additional purchase cost. Hence, it is the more economical overall solution, once the installation cost is taken into consideration. When designed like for like, they provide the most economical solution for small to medium height soil retaining applications.

Weld Mesh Gabions are typically supplied partially assembled to suit customer requirements and flat packed for delivery. Once on site, they are opened up, stood up and then laced together in-situ with lacing wire to form the required retaining wall configuration. Where appropriate, they may also be clipped using CL50 clips or helicalled using Helical binders.

Weld Mesh Gabion when hand filled with decorative stone facing is also increasingly being used as architectural cladding for walls and buildings in Ireland. It is a simple and easy way of achieving architectural stone cladding for buildings and other structures. The reason for this is the tidy and aesthetically pleasing stone faced finish due to the rigidity of the weld mesh. Gabions used for cladding have a different configuration to those used in retaining walls.
