Ideal for sloped terrains, these 5.0mm mesh baskets are engineered to withstand harsh environments while blending seamlessly into residential and commercial designs.
Key Features & Specifications
Material & Coating
Core Material: High-tensile galvanized steel wire (380N/mm² strength).
PVC Coating: 1.0mm thick PVC layer enhances corrosion resistance, extending lifespan to 20+ years even in coastal or high-moisture areas.
Aperture Options: 50.8mm×50.8mm, 76.2mm×76.2mm, or custom sizes.
Dimensions & Structure
Standard size: 2m×1m×1m (customizable to 0.5m increments).
Welded mesh panels with helical joints for rigidity and easy assembly.
Includes stiffeners and spiral binders for structural integrity.
Certifications
Complies with BSEN ISO 10244-2 for galvanized coatings and ASTM A975 for gabion construction.
Core Advantages
Superior Durability
Triple-layer corrosion protection (galvanized + PVC coating) ensures 50+ years of service life.
Resists UV degradation, frost, and soil acidity.
Eco-Friendly Design
Permeable structure promotes natural drainage and vegetation growth.
No concrete is required, which reduces the carbon footprint by 40% compared to traditional retaining walls.
Easy Installation
Pre-fabricated panels assemble in <30 minutes using spiral wires—no specialized tools needed.
The lightweight design (5.0mm wire) allows for on-site filling with local stones or recycled materials.
Aesthetic Flexibility
Available in green, black, or natural stone-gray PVC coatings to match landscape themes.
Modular design supports curved or tiered installations for creative backyard layouts.
Applications in Sloped Landscaping
Retaining Walls
Stabilizes steep slopes (up to 70° incline) while preventing soil erosion.
Case Study: A 2024 project in Colorado reduced landslide risks by 90% using JOESCO gabions.
Erosion Control
Protects garden beds and pathways from rainwater runoff.
Architectural Cladding
Conceals unsightly foundations or creates decorative garden partitions.
Flood Mitigation
Acts as a permeable barrier to redirect water flow in flood-prone areas.
Installation Best Practices
Site Preparation
Level the slope base and compact the soil to 95% density.
Use geotextile fabric behind baskets to prevent soil migration.
Filling & Compaction
Layer stones (100–250mm diameter) for optimal interlocking.
Overfill by 10% to account for settling.
Maintenance
Inspect annually for PVC abrasion or wire exposure.
Re-tighten spiral binders after extreme weather events.
FAQs
Q: Can these gabions support vertical gardens?
A: Yes! The 5.0mm mesh allows climbing plants like ivy to root securely.
Q: Are custom sizes available?
A: JOESCO offers bespoke dimensions (e.g., 3m×0.5m×1m) for unique landscapes.
