MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gabion Supply has announced the release of its latest resource "Most Frequently Asked Questions About Gabions." This resource provides consumers with insight into gabions including how gabions are made, the advantages of gabions, the price of gabions, how long gabions will last, the type of rocks to use, and how gabion baskets are installed.
According to Gabion Supply, "Gabions are reinforced wire cages stretched between two supports and filled with gravel, sand, or crushed rock." The benefits of gabion usage include low cost, versatility, environmentally friendly, durability, and easy installation. The lifespan of a gabion depends on which type of basket construction was used (woven or galvanized), but on average, a gabion will last between 50 to 100 years.
Gabion products are used in a variety of ways with the most popular uses being retention walls, erosion prevention, flooding prevention, road reinforcements, and drainage control. Different types of rocks can be used in gabion construction, but the most frequent types are granite, basalt, slate, sandstone, limestone, and ironstone. Gabion baskets and walls should be installed on heavy soil to help support the structure, but light soil can work if engineering is done to support the gabion structure.
