“Picture this: the year is 2006. A humble, ambitious company takes root in the heart of South Africa. Fast forward to today – 17 Years of relentless growth and innovation have led us to become an unmatched force, not only within our homeland, but also across the expansive African continent.
Meet Gabion Baskets. Our specialty? Crafting quality Gabion products, furnishing indispensable services, and providing top-notch equipment to a medley of industries, including Civil Engineering, Mining, and Architecture. We’ve also found our niche in both the exterior and interior space design domains, catering to an eclectic mix of commercial and residential demands.
So, you might be wondering, ‘What exactly are Gabions?’ Picture a rectangular or cylindrical container, its skeletal structure composed of sturdy wire mesh, filled to the brim with stones or other materials. This versatile creation finds its use in a host of construction projects, whether it be forming steadfast retaining walls, controlling erosion, or even sprucing up the landscape. Gabions don’t shy away from the spotlight, often gracing architectural and decorative endeavors with their presence.
Built to last, Gabions brave the elements – be it relentless rain, gusty winds, or the icy grasp of freezing temperatures. Their permeable nature also comes in handy, allowing water to seep through, thereby preventing erosion and keeping soil displacement in check.
In a nutshell, Gabions are a testament to the harmonious blend of aesthetic appeal, efficacy, and longevity. If you’re in pursuit of a solution that’s not just durable, but also mindful of the environment, then look no further.”
