If you enjoy gardening or landscaping, chances are you’ve seen gabion walls and gabion baskets. Gabion walls have been with us for a long time and have been used since ancient times to build strong, sealed structures, most famously along the Nile River.
Or, you may have heard of them before when researching your options. But you may not be completely familiar with what they actually mean.
You can fill them with sand and soil, rock or concrete. They are easy to build and can be a great way to quickly build a wall or structure in a bad weather emergency.
However, if you want to purchase them, there are several different types of gabions that you can buy. Finding the perfect gabion for your needs is no easy task, but we have a buyer’s guide that can help answer your frequently asked questions about gabions and how best to buy and use them.
Here, we’ll look at exactly what they are and help you determine if they are the option you need for your garden.
