Our Gabion can be assembled with tying wire, helical connectors or ‘C’ Clips.

Adjacent panels are joined together by a continuous lacing wire, weaving in and out of each mesh. As the wire is weaved in and out of the mesh it is pulled in the direction of weaving which then forms a tight joint.

All verticals joints and horizontal joints are to be laced. At the start and finish of the run of lacing, the wire should be wrapped around the panel wires 3 times.

It is recommended that the maximum length to be laced is approximately 1m. This requires about 1.4m of wire. The large coils of lacing wire supplied can be cut on one side of the coil which should give sufficient length for 1m of lacing. Do not cut all coils, as longer lengths of wire are needed for internal bracing.

The Helical is available at an additional cost for standard gabion system. Adjacent panels are joined together by winding the helical down the mesh. Only use one helical for assembly when jointing to an adjacent unit. At the top and bottom end of the helical, the last coil must be turned vertically through 90 degrees to prevent the helical from moving.

Supplied at an additional cost, it can be used for all jointing of units. C rings are closed with a pneumatic closing tool. The pneumatic tool has to be purchased and therefore is mainly used only on larger schemes. C rings must be used every other mesh space on all joints.
