Woven gabions are widely used in industrial and environmental projects, serving as a cost-effective choice when visual appeal matters less. They deliver the same efficient drainage and flexibility as weldmesh gabions. Installation is quick and easy, achievable by unskilled labor without special tools.
These units are crafted from double-twist woven hexagonal wire mesh—2.7mm core wire, joined by 2.2mm tying wire (included in cost/quotes)—options like Galvanized, Galfan, or PVC-coated wire suit different applications and lifespans.

Woven Gabion Box Advantages
Double-twisted hexagonal mesh gabions, used globally for over 100 years, excel in:
- Flexibility: Tolerates settlement, ideal for unstable soil.
- Durability: High-strength mesh with stone fill resists structural movement.
- Strength: Meets ASTM A975-97 punch, tensile, and corrosion resistance standards.
- Permeability: Natural drainage reduces hydrostatic pressure.
- Ecology: Promotes vegetation and is eco-friendly for soil/slope projects.
- Reliability: Proven performance from global usage.
- Low Cost: Requires minimal labor, equipment, and maintenance.
