Gabions – multifunctional eye-catchers for your garden

Because the possibilities are endless — from fences or garden dividers to mailboxes, flower boxes or outdoor fireplaces — gabions fit into virtually any setting. With a wide range of sizes, wire types and fillings, you can mix and match exactly as you like. Let’s take a look at their biggest advantages.

What is a gabion?

A gabion is a rectangular, square or round “cage” made of zinc-aluminium wire. You can fully customise the shape and dimensions. Most gabions are filled with natural stone or pebbles, but you can also choose bark, glass chunks or other materials. While often used as a garden divider, their unique look gives them strong decorative appeal and allows them to be placed just about anywhere.

Durable in all seasons

Unlike wooden or natural fences, gabions require little to no maintenance. Hedges need to be trimmed and fed and are heavily dependent on the seasons. Wooden fences weather over time and may need to be repainted or replaced. Gabions, on the other hand, are extremely durable and maintain a clean, flawless appearance all year round – whether it’s winter or summer.

Highly versatile

Not only can you choose the shape, size and filling, but also the purpose. As fencing, gabions offer complete privacy and noise protection. As a decorative element, they give a unique character to your mailbox or flower box. The same goes for gabions used as a frame for your outdoor fireplace or barbecue.

Mix and match

Gabions are often seen as sleek and modern, but using light natural stone can create a warm and cozy atmosphere. That means they also work perfectly in rustic or classic garden styles. Tired of the look? Try a different filling and see how many new styles you can create.

Price tag

The initial cost of a gabion is higher than a basic wire, wooden, or natural fence, but due to its long lifespan and low maintenance, you’ll easily earn that investment back. The final price depends on the size, materials, and type of filling. With our configurator, you’ll know exactly what your dream gabion will cost — try it for yourself!
