Gabions with Frame and Legs – An Innovative Solution for Modern Fences

Gabions have long proven their functionality in landscape and civil engineering. But when enhanced with a reinforced frame, legs, and a precisely engineered modular structure, they become much more – a durable, aesthetic, and long-lasting system that can be installed quickly and without welding.

This article explores the product’s construction, its components, where it is most useful, and all key installation steps.

What is the system?

This is not just ordinary gabion – it’s a modular system composed of galvanized mesh, metal supports, and precision-designed connectors. Each kit includes all necessary components for mounting onto a concrete base.

Main kit components:

  • 2 legs (supports) – made of hot-dip galvanized steel, 9.4 cm high, with anchor holes spaced 29 cm apart.
  • V-shaped base plate – 201×20 cm, with Sendzimir zinc coating 215 g/m². Ensures proper distance and stability between legs.
  • 2 main meshes (front and back) – galvanized 340 g/m², 50×50 mm opening, 4 mm wire thickness.
  • 2 side walls with reinforcing plates – with holes for connecting modules and aligning height.
  • 1 top lid – curved edges and 6 plastic clips for secure fastening.
  • Connecting elements – 6 to 48 hooks/clips depending on module length.
  • 4 anchor bolts M12 – each holds up to 2150 kg.
  • Additionally – nuts, washers, caps, and wooden spacers for temporary fixation.

Required tools: diamond drill Ø12 mm, wrenches 13 and 19 mm, hammer, angle grinder.

Optional accessories:

  • Side meshes if the module is not attached to a wall
  • Corner legs – for L-shaped or 90° joins
  • LED lighting integrated at the bottom
  • Filling – stone, gravel, or erkles (40–100 mm fraction)

Step-by-step installation

The system is designed for quick installation without welding, with logical and easy-to-follow steps.

1. Preparing the base

A solid, level concrete base is required, minimum class B25 (350 kg/m³).

  • Ring-shaped base: width 50 cm, depth 30 cm
  • Separate concrete pads: 50×50×50 cm
  • Use the included legs for direct mounting

2. Marking and drilling

  • Use the support as a template
  • Drill with Ø12 mm bit
  • Insert and tighten anchor bolts

3. Assembling the structure

  • Install the first leg
  • Attach the base plate
  • Install the second leg
  • Secure the side panels with reinforcing plates
  • Insert front and back mesh
  • Add tension rods and wooden spacers
  • Fill with gravel or stones, compact with rubber mallet
  • Repeat process up to the top
  • Secure the lid with plastic clips

Applications and Benefits

These gabions are not just visually impressive – they are practical and built to last. Suitable for private, public, and industrial construction.

Common uses:

  • Private yards and fences
  • Office and hotel buildings
  • Industrial and logistics areas
  • Noise barriers along roads
  • Parking lots, commercial zoning

Why choose them?

  • Easy installation – no welding needed
  • Modular system – easy expansion
  • Sound insulation – ideal for traffic zones
  • Over 20 years lifespan – with proper maintenance
  • Professional appearance – for modern architecture

Conclusion

Gabions with frame and legs offer a modern, reliable, and aesthetic solution for any fence. They combine engineering strength with visual elegance, and their installation can be handled by a team or an experienced individual. If you're looking for a fence that will last decades – this is your choice.
