Gabion
The gabion baskets with spiral binders made by Van Merksteijn excel both in stability and durability. This high quality is ensured by the use of top-quality materials and their careful processing using state-of-the-art production techniques. The gabion baskets and meshes of 100 x 100 mm are the most cost-efficient solution for creating a sound-insulating wall and also suited as slope and bank protection. The practical modular system enables space-saving storage as well as simple and cost-efficient transport

Possible compound structure:
-
Gabion basket A = initial basket, closed on all sides
-
Gabion basket B = connecting basket, 1 side panel is dropped
-
Gabion basket C = initial panel, bottom panel is dropped
-
Gabion basket D = connecting basket, 1 side panel + bottom panel are dropped
-
Connect bottom and side panels with spiral binders.
Assembly:
- Also connect the partition walls with the bottom panel using spiral binders.
- Hinge up the side panels and also connect them with spiral binders.
- Mount spacers after having filled 1/3rd and 2/3rd of the basket.
- After having filled the gabion baskets, connect the lids using spiral binders.
Be careful: when using spiral binders, be sure to fasten also the adjoining basket elements.
