Gabions as enclosure - design ideas with and without privacy screens

Gabions have had a stellar career as the modern version of a front yard wall. The wire baskets owe their high esteem not least to the advantage that they are suitable for self-construction. Due to the flexible construction, garden walls can be built with gabions at any desired height. We have discovered the following variants for you in specialist shops:

  • Privacy protection for the small front garden: extra narrow wire mats with a depth of 17 cm, a width of 100 cm and a height of 200 cm
  • Privacy protection with a bulwark character: massive wire mats with a depth of 47 cm, a width of 100 cm and a height of 200 cm
  • Low enclosure to limit territory: elegant gabions with a depth of 27 cm, a width of 100 cm and a height of 90 cm
  • Elegant combination with WPC wood: as a set of gabions with basalt stones and anthracite-colored WPC composite panels

There are matching angle pieces for every gabion enclosure. Natural stones in various sizes and colors are suitable for filling. Basalt quarry stones, alpine stones and Norwegian granite are popular. If you choose wire baskets with a mesh size of 50 x 50 mm, you can also fill them with small stones.
