Gabions with different mesh sizes: Find the perfect gabion for your garden project

Gabions are versatile, robust and aesthetically pleasing - the perfect solution for your garden and construction projects. However, when choosing the right gabion, it's not just the size that matters. The mesh size plays a decisive role, especially with regard to the filling material and the desired look. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about mesh sizes, what options Gabiona offers and how to select the right stone baskets for your project.

What are mesh sizes and why are they important?

The mesh size describes the distance between the wires that make up the gabion baskets. It determines:

• The size of the filling material: The filling material must be larger than the mesh size so that it does not fall through the openings.
• The appearance: Small mesh sizes ensure a uniform surface effect, while larger mesh sizes emphasize the structure of the filling material.
• The versatility: Different mesh sizes offer creative design options, depending on the project requirements and desired style.
