Gabions, as used in modern engineering practice, are compartmented, rectangular containers made of galvanized or PVC coated steel hexagonal wire mesh, and filled with stone. The compartments, or cells, of equal capacity are formed by a factory-inserted wire netting dividers or diaphragms. These diaphragms add strength to the container and help retain its rectangular shape during the filling operation. Diaphragms also provide assurance that the fill will be equally divided and prevent shifting of fill.
The gabions are then tied together to form a gabion structure. These structures provide numerous advantages Popular Size
