Architectural gabion cladding units are made from our welded wire mesh system which is configured to provide a 300mm thick non-structural skin of regular cells that can be filled with quarried stone to create a regulated appearance with a natural aesthetic. Other inert and non-degradable materials can also be used.
Courses of gabion cladding units can be manufactured to any multiple of 75mm to suit the architectural requirements. Typically the maximum course lift is 675mm high to allow the cells to be filled by hand. For handling, the maximum width of a gabion is 2025mm which will be divided into three equal cells. Gabion cladding units have helical connectors supplied for exposed vertical joints between gabions and lacing wire for horizontal joints. Alternatively, the units can be connected by hog rings. The mesh wire diameter for cladding units is specified as either 4.0mm or 5.0mm.
Gabion architectural cladding units are secured back to a suitable substrate with resin anchored threaded rods and clamp bars or clamp plates. Where no suitable support wall is available to tie back to, gabion cladding can be constructed around steel support posts designed to take lateral loading. Where required, Dson’s technical team can assist in the development of details to span openings or create cavities. Gabion cladding can be designed to the height of approximately 3.5m without the need for additional vertical support.

The stability of mass gravity retaining walls relies upon the structural integrity of the units, and their filled mass, to support or contain unstable earth slopes. In order to select the optimum retaining wall solution, key considerations include:
• The geotechnical parameters of the retained and
foundation soils
• The presence of water and hydrostatic loads
• External loads from structures and live or seismic loads
• The simplicity and speed of construction
