I used 3 tiers of gabions to replace a 1.2m sleeper wall that had rotted through, and created a planting area within the tiers to reduce the apparent height of the wall. We created planters from left-over mesh to hang on the face of the wall. The wall is 0.5x0.5mm 4mm mesh and the stone fill is Kent Ragstone that goes well with the existing limestone patio.

This is a very good example of a Gabion boundary wall for a driveway.

The Gabions are in 4mm, cut down to 381mm high. They had to be shorter due to the thickness of the sleepers. The Sleepers were clamped down by fixing a piece of timber under the lid, at either edge of the basket, upwards to the sleeper.

The gabion basket under the table was 457mm high again with 100mm sleepers on top. The sleepers are separated by 8mm to stop water pooling in the surface.

Please find attached a photo of my gabion installation using your 500mm cube gabions. We previously had access difficulties up the grass bank and your product, along with some railway sleepers, solved the problem. I am 70 years old and did all the work myself. Your service and delivery were excellent and I’ve already recommended you to friends.

Dave has levelled his sloped back garden and created a set of steps using gabion baskets. The baskets are .5 deep and he has further saved on stone by using brick backfill where its not visible.

An example of a residential boundry wall using gabion baskets.

With an eye for design Adrian has cleverly transformed his back garden from a difficult to use sloped area into a modern entertaining space. Utilising clean straight lines and cleverly mixing materials, (including 2 types of stone infill) we think he has achieved a spectacular result. The gabions function both as a retaining wall, to flatten out the lawned area and as a framework for the seating area.

A burn had eroded the ground away and the banking was slipping away in slices and endangering the property. We detailed to client what we would do to stop the slippage with gabion baskets. Our client is a great gardener and wanted something that would work with the old property. Since photos were taken the burn has been in full spate with the winter rain we get here in the west of Scotland and no further slippage! We have now installed handrails down the steps and owner has started planting in the gabions. Happy client.

Just thought you'd be interested in our garden project using your baskets.

We utilised all the old patio slabs that were in the garden, smashed them up and placed them inside the gabions. Once the slabs were in we placed LED lights along the top and then hid them with large black and white cobble stones.

Gabions can be cut down to 225 or 300mm to make the ideal long lasting vegetable bed. The benefits of a gabion planter are:

They are porous. If lined with a weed membrane you can control water retention without it becoming saturated.

The River Gipping Trust are restoring part of the old Stowmarket Navigation to make it suitable for a small electric trip boat to ply for trade between Needham Market and Baylham on the River Gipping. Our current work revolves around a location called Pipps Ford which has an abandoned lock.

Part of the restoration work requires us to excavate the bed of the original river course which was filled in by the Environment Agency back in the 80's. That will allow us to divert the water flow from the lock whilst we see what needs to be done to that structure. We have constructed a new bridge over the river and the gabions have been placed next to the brick side walls of the bridge to protect the walls from scour once the river course has been opened.

This project involved levelling a sloped garden in a clay area with poor drainage. Within this area a new water treatment plant and soakaway was put in. The owner also wanted to replace a poorly installed cracked concrete drive with gravel. The stone from the concrete drive was smashed up and used as the infill for the basket. As the baskets were not on show the entire basket could be filled with this stone. The brand of water treatment plant allowed discharge directly to a waterway so plastic soakaway crates were allowed to be used to create a new soakaway. Terram was used on top of the baskets with a wooden sleeper on the edge retain 100mm height of soil. The terram behind the basket is semi porous and ontop of the basket impervious to stop the grass drying out.

I used the gabions to create an outlet into the river from my waste water and surface water system in the house. The previous one had collapsed years ago and I was given the design, which you are welcome to use, by the Wyre (Lancashire) river authority as their best design for this sort of work. It is basically gabions complete with a “mattress” below surface and stacked and wired together with a concrete section in the middle to take the outlet pipe. Chris

Haileybury College in Hertfordshire wished to create a "trench trail" for their students and to share with schools in the area to come and learn about the First World War. Through the Trenches for Teachers project, historian Andy Robertshaw helped bring history alive to include a reproduction trench system complete with two fire steps, a dug out and first aid post along with the supply of reproduction items and teaching pack to enable students to interpret and experience elements of the conflict and life as a British soldier.

The frame work for the structure is made using custom made gabion baskets in 3mm wire.

photo of our rescued and restored footbridge (12' span) over our little stream supported by your gabion baskets. (due to be re-assembled week commencing 8th July - our holiday project - pray for good weather) This bridge has been swept away by floodwater four times now and each time we have been able to retrieve the bridge downstream so with the help of your gabions it will not be going anywhere in the future.

This is an example of a 300mm deep gabion basket used as a gabion cladding for a Birmingham car park. A 4mm gabion wire is used for architectural purposes, especially important for cladding. The basket verticals have been joined with helicoil springs, this is an example of a very profesional install.

Gabions used around a car park filled with limestone. Its normally recommended that a pvc coating is used in the environment as salt spray can dramatically reduce the lifespan.

These are gabion baskets installed by Rock and Water for a project at Twycross zoo.

This is an example of a river bank repair using gabion baskets. The installer has also protected from undercutting and softened the front edge with extra stones. In this scenario the baskets were on the bed rock so a gabion matress was not required.

'We used Fine Mesh to supply us with Gabion baskets to create a more decorative level change at the back of our development at Barn Lane, Golborne. I truly believe that it has enhanced the aesthetics and as the planting grows will look like the rock garden we intended. The product from Fine Mesh was easy to use and delivered efficiently.'

Image of wall – client wanted a very contemporary look to a small back garden space – gabion baskets and white cobbles gave just the right look. Image of seat – client wanted an unusual seat for a front garden space to sit and read books. Gabion baskets were the answer.

The gabions were perfect for the job I needed and very competitively priced. As a DIYer, the design and installation instructions on the website came in very handy too
