Gabion benches

If you want an exceptional outdoor seating arrangement, our gabion benches can add glamour and style to any area. Gabion benches are similar to other gabion structures, and we create them from strong mesh bases full of concrete, rocks or other materials.

We place them together and arrange the gabion benches in different ways, adding a breathtaking natural appeal to exterior arrangements.

Using gabion cages as seating

Gabion cages are essential before we build a bench; the wire boxes that firmly hold rocks. The boxes consist of wire mesh with sufficient tensile power to contain huge stones.

The Australian Construction skilled team welds galvanised steel mesh for more strength and a lovely appearance. Sometimes we also coat the galvanised mesh in PVC.

After filling the mesh and lining up two or three ballast cubes, we place a strong, weather-resistant top above them. Our team places two square gabions at the bench’s opposite ends or one long gabion set at the centre.

Gabion benches look lovely around a fire pit when encircling a deck or lining a walkway. You can place them in any area you require seating but wish to have a natural flair.

Making a gabion bench

We build gabion benches in different ways; stand-alone benches with two or one gabions with one extensive or numerous narrow boards linked to them. Whatever your imagination is, we can deliver the shape and style you want!

Different gabion benches shapes

If you want your outdoor area to have a different design, we can arrange the gabion benches into various shapes. We can construct L-shaped gabion benches using three gabion baskets or cages and two wooden seats.

If you want to form a build that is not entirely straight, we create a solid seat and fix it securely to the gabion cage.

Benefits of gabion benches

Using gabion benches in your lawn presents notable advantages. The Australian Construction gabions present an aesthetically pleasing appearance and are environmentally friendly.

We can coat the gabions with filler and rocks available on site. Using local materials is environmentally friendly as we use minimal fuel for transportation.

Mainly we use natural materials for gabion benches. The gabions feature galvanised steel; however, we take the filler material straight from the surface. Our team uses raw materials for the benches tops and can be manufactured from local or recycled wood when possible. Garden areas need highly sustainable materials like these.

Gabion benches remain cool even in hot weather. The stones we place inside the gabions facilitate room for air circulation. They are free-draining, making them stable since water moves easily through them.

The gabions add a naturally appealing factor to any garden. The gabions toughness displays the suppleness of the plants in the garden.

Gabions are robust, easy to install and permanent. To make the rock stable, a masonry or foundation filling is unnecessary as the gabions mesh walls do that. Because mortar does not hold the gabions ballast, they can shift with the ground, making them more stable.

Gabion walls

Gabion walls are a combination of wire and rock. They are simple in construction and nature and essentially involve creating a giant wall from rocks that we pile on top of each other.

Our gabion wall builder in Townsville mainly uses pebbles, broken bricks and tiles to construct gabion retaining walls.  We assess all the materials we use depending on strength and size to ensure maximum integrity.

Gabion retaining walls have been in use for thousands of years, making them a tried and proven structure, which provides practical and aesthetic additions to redevelopment projects and urban areas.

Are foundations necessary for gabion walls?

Gabion walls are affordable, durable and straightforward to install. In some cases, a gabion wall may require a foundation; however, most gabion walls do not require any foundation.

All we need to do is build the basket, then fill them with stones or different filler materials, then place the wall where you want, and that’s it!

Traditional foundations are unnecessary for gabion walls; however, we level out the space we will install your wall, facilitating a level wall. If we do not do this, it can cause a crooked wall that will move with time.

Despite the material we use for your gabion wall, we make sure that we remove any unstable topsoil to avoid a shaky structure. 

If we are constructing a smaller gabion wall, we possibly will not need comprehensive soil testing because of the subsoil’s decreased load. However, when building a more prominent wall, our expertise comes in handy because we check whether the soil is suitable before investing in materials.

What is the use of gabion walls?

We mainly use gabion walls for erosion protection and slope stability. A factor that makes these walls popular is that we can build them to look appealing and provide flexible reinforcement.

At times, we install them to absorb the force of moving water and we mainly use them to boost riverbanks in danger of experiencing erosion and to avoid landscape damage.
