Pros And Cons Of Using a Gabion 
If you have been thinking about introducing some gabion walls into your property as retaining walls or even some interesting outdoor seating, you may wonder if they are really the best option. Like anything, these walls have advantages and disadvantages. In order to determine whether the gabion is the right choice for the project you have in mind, you will need to weigh these pros and cons.
Pros
There are many advantages to introducing gabion walls, including:
Their solid base prevents them from being towed away during heavy rains or even by vandals.
They help reduce the speed of flowing water because the rock dissipates its energy, which helps reduce erosion.
The flexibility of the gabion baskets and the rocks they contain allows for small movements when moving on the ground.
Over time, the gaps between the rocks will be filled with vegetation and silt, which will further strengthen the walls.
Handling and transportation of materials is very simple, which helps to reduce the time required to construct the gabion.
The gaps between the rocks allow water to flow through the building, helping to maintain a low groundwater level.
Cons
Gabion walls also have some disadvantages that you need to be aware of:
In some cases, the aesthetic impression of the wall is minimal (because it can be seen that wire baskets and algae may be present).
High-speed water flow may cause damage to the gabion net through the impact of large or heavy objects.
It is important to remember that strengths and weaknesses will also depend on the conditions of the site, the availability of materials and equipment, and the availability of manpower.
Site conditions-If the ground is soft, you need to build a concrete or stone base for the basket (to prevent them from sinking into the mud). This will add a lot of time and cost. If the ground is hard, you can build a wall right away.
Availability of materials and equipment-If the supplier has baskets and rocks in stock, you can build gabions when you take everything home. If they want to order materials, you have to wait until the materials arrive. You may also need equipment.
Manpower availability-filling the basket with stones is something that needs to be done by hand, which may be time consuming (if you have a lot of baskets to fill) and may cause injury if you are not careful. If you have a helper, you will complete this project faster.
We hope you find the information provided above useful to determine whether the gabion wall is the right choice for your upcoming project. Although these walls look great and can add a real sense of luxury to your property, it is important to note that they are not for everyone. If you have decided to introduce some gabion baskets, it is important that you put the baskets together correctly and fill them with the correct stones.
