At Corden Perimeter Systems we supply PVC coated welded mesh gabion baskets designed for landscaping, retaining walls, and erosion control projects where enhanced corrosion protection is required.
These gabion baskets are manufactured from bi-axial welded steel mesh, typically with a 75mm × 75mm square mesh opening, where longitudinal wires are welded to cross wires at their intersection points. This manufacturing method produces a dimensionally stable and durable mesh, suitable for structural and decorative applications.
Our gabion baskets are supplied as flat-pack units for easy transport and efficient on-site assembly before being filled with stone or other suitable materials.
Features of PVC coated welded mesh gabion baskets
Our PVC coated gabion baskets provide increased durability in demanding environments where additional protection is required.
Key features include:
- Bi-axial welded steel mesh construction
- Standard 75mm × 75mm mesh openings
- PVC coated steel wire for enhanced corrosion resistance
- Flat-pack design for easy transport and installation
- Available in multiple wire diameters depending on application requirements
- Modular system allowing easy on-site modification
The PVC coating acts as an additional protective barrier, helping extend the lifespan of the gabion baskets in harsh or exposed conditions.
When to choose PVC coated gabion baskets
PVC coated gabions are typically chosen when projects require extra protection against corrosion, moisture, or environmental exposure.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Coastal environments where salt air can accelerate corrosion
- Riverbanks and watercourses exposed to constant moisture
- Drainage channels and flood defence projects
- Infrastructure projects in harsh environments
- Landscaping installations requiring long-term durability
For projects in standard environments where corrosion exposure is lower, standard Galfan coated welded mesh gabion baskets may be sufficient. However, for environments with higher moisture or chemical exposure, PVC coated gabions provide additional long-term protection.
Key difference: PVC coated vs standard welded mesh gabion baskets
Both systems share the same welded mesh construction, but the main difference lies in the level of corrosion protection.
Standard welded mesh gabion baskets
- Galfan coated steel mesh
- Suitable for most landscaping and retaining wall applications
- Cost-effective option for standard environments
PVC coated welded mesh gabion baskets
- Galfan coated steel with an additional PVC polymer coating
- Increased resistance to corrosion and environmental exposure
- Recommended for coastal, water-based, or high-moisture applications
This additional coating helps extend the lifespan of the gabion structure in demanding conditions.
Applications
PVC coated welded mesh gabion baskets are widely used across landscaping and civil engineering projects where durability and corrosion resistance are essential.
Typical applications include:
- Riverbank and slope stabilisation
- Coastal erosion control
- Retaining walls and landscape structures
- Infrastructure and civil engineering works
- Decorative gabion walls and landscaping features
Their strength and versatility make them suitable for both structural and decorative gabion installations.
Flexible installation options
Welded mesh gabion baskets can be easily modified on site by cutting the mesh back to the next transverse wire, allowing adjustments to suit project requirements.
Where two different stone fill materials are required, additional loose panels can be supplied to separate the fill materials within the gabion structure.
The flexibility of the finished gabion basket depends on the wire diameter selected, allowing the system to be tailored to different structural needs.
