Gabions are usually filled with natural stone materials. But the creative possibilities of filling with inert material are virtually limitless. The only prerequisite is the choice of material to ensure that it is resistant to the weather.<\/p>\n
It’s time to get inspired!
\nSmart Metal Group presents you some interesting and unusual solutions when choosing the right inert material for filling gabions. Depending on the type and application of the gabion structure, you can choose from different filler materials. These options are especially suitable for the construction of decorative elements in the landscape of your yard and garden.<\/p>\n
Fill gabions with granite, gravel or marble<\/p>\n
The stone can also become an unusual solution – natural stones have different sizes, shapes and colors. The cell of the gabion must be adapted to the size of the aggregate, in this case the rock material. You can create beautiful models or figures in gabions by combining natural stones. Entire gabion columns can be filled with different colored stones and placed side by side in different color or shape combinations.<\/p>\n
Filling gabions with glass rock materials<\/p>\n
Glass decorative rocks are a particularly popular filler material for gabion structures. Different colors, such as green, blue or white, can be used to fill gabions with decorative features. Of course, you can combine natural stones and decorative rocks.<\/p>\n
Illuminated gabions<\/p>\n
Because the gabions themselves have open cells, regardless of the color of the fill of the decorative rocks or other glass material, they are particularly suitable for illumination. Lighting elements can be implemented, even in the most voluminous gabions. The easiest way to create lighting is by using a light net similar to those used for Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n
Filling gabions with natural stone pavers<\/p>\n
Natural stone pavers can also be used to fill gabions. Due to their square shape, they fill gabions particularly well. If you want to add some color, you can color individual stones. Due to the symmetrical shape of the gabions, different colored pavers can be added to inscribe letters or numbers. The pavers are also suitable for use in creating gabion fences.<\/p>\n
Fill gabions with wood, clay or natural products<\/p>\n
Clay pipes create the feeling of light, open and natural appearance of the gabion. Alternatively, wooden boards or solid logs may be used. If you like things more natural, then gabions can be filled with straw – both in bulk and in whole bales. Other organic fillers are pine cones, sawdust or shells. However, all these fillings may need to be replaced regularly because they are susceptible to outside weathering.<\/p>\n
Planting gabions<\/p>\n
In addition to the gabions mattresses planted with different plants, there are other options for planting gabions themselves. If the gabion is galvanized and then filled with earth, you can plant plants between the cells of the gabion or in a cut-out opening between its cells. Suitable plants are bamboo and reed plants that will grow between the cells of the gabion and their roots will stabilize it towards the base.<\/p>\n
To make it fun and colorful around, gabions can even be filled with colored plastic bottles<\/p>\n
Gabions look especially elegant when filled with empty bottles. The rounded bottoms of the bottles recreate beautiful patterns, different colored bottles can be used to create additional color accents. If you order gabions on an individual size, then the length and diameter of the bottles to be used can be taken into account when ordering them.<\/p>\n
Of course, all the inert materials mentioned above can be combined with one another.<\/p>\n
The weight of the materials, the thickness of the wire used in the production of gabions and the size of the mesh must be taken into account when ordering gabion structures.<\/p>\n
