Gabions – the exclusive garden fence

🧱 Gabions – the exclusive garden fence

Overview

Gabions are a classic among garden fences: wire baskets filled with stones, also known as stone baskets or wall stone baskets.

Strong, natural and individual

Gabions impress with their solid appearance and versatility. Natural stones such as granite, limestone and basalt are commonly used as filling. For an individual statement, choose glass chunks or coloured decorative stones to add special accents.

🌿 A creative alternative: printed privacy strips

For an affordable, flexible solution, printed privacy strips for mesh fences cost one third as much as gabions.

✅ A wide range of designs

Stone looks such as rubble stone, slate and marble walls, nature images with vine leaves, fir branches and cherry laurel, or playful designs with sunflowers, crayons and flocks of sheep – the range leaves nothing to be desired. Combine designs creatively for individual garden styling.

🛠️ Easy installation

The technical textile strips come on rolls and are simply woven into the fence, then fixed with clamping rails at each row's end. Create a Mediterranean stone wall or green vine backdrop in no time, without carrying stones or waiting for plants to grow.

🐝 Gabions as a living design feature

Gabions offer more than privacy: they create habitats for insects and small animals. Add flower baskets or plant ivy and Virginia creeper for lively green highlights. In busy areas, they can even provide noise protection.

Combining gabions with wooden elements, steel modules or natural hedges opens exciting possibilities for modern gardens.

⚠️ What to consider before building

For stability, gabions require a solid foundation and good drainage. With a minimum depth of 20 cm, they suit larger areas because they take up space.

Do not underestimate the price:

• Wire baskets from approx. €60
• Loose stones from approx. €0.10/kg
  A typical garden fence project quickly costs several hundred euros. Once filled, replacing the material requires considerable effort.

Disadvantages at a glance

• 💸 High purchase costs
• 🧱 Large space requirement
• 🛠️ Complex installation and foundation
• 🔄 Difficult appearance changes
