Have you purchased a plot on a slope or near a ravine and are wondering how to equip it? Already savoring the scale of the upcoming transformations, but mentally reeling from the size of the future costs of repair and construction work? We know how to minimize your hassle. Have you ever heard of gabions?
Gabions is a galvanized wire mesh filled with stones. Most often, box-type structures are found, that is, a box with rectangular walls is formed from a mesh, which is then filled with stones.
The main advantages of gabions are:
- the ability to create a structure of any shape;
- resistance to soil landslides, storm flows and floods, seasonal temperature fluctuations;
- the ability to pass water;
- the ability to accumulate fertile soil, in which plant roots grow over time, binding the metal-stone structure and transforming it into an unshakable system.
Gabions are a relatively new product, but truly unique. What is interesting is that the attitude towards gabionos is very contradictory: some are categorically against these structures, while others, on the contrary, do not represent the best material for the implementation of construction and design ideas.
If you are in doubt about gabions, pay attention to the fact that the structure can be brought down even in hard-to-reach places where large equipment cannot reach. Unlike concreting, the installation of gabions wins in the simplicity and manufacturability of construction and installation work. Mesh containers do not require additional processing, but act as an independent design solution.
Gabions can be a bright accent of landscape design. They look great both as fences and in the form of paths and even as flower beds, fountains, outdoor fireplaces, furniture or original sculptures.
The constructions fit perfectly into any garden areas and are completely environmentally friendly.
So, gabions should be on your site today, because tomorrow a neighbor can get ahead of you and be the first to create a practical, functional and at the same time original and stylish design solution. Don't hesitate!
