Gabion stone baskets provide a reliable and highly adaptable solution for various landscaping, retaining walls, and decorative projects. Made with welded mesh panels that are sourced from Europe, these baskets come coated in Galfan, which offers superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional zinc coatings—providing up to three times the protection.
You have the option to choose between 3mm and 4mm wire thickness:
- 3mm wire is ideal for gabion baskets up to 3 meters in height. It is the standard thickness for many architectural applications such as cladding and free-standing walls.
- 4mm wire should be used for structures over 3 meters in height or in areas prone to vandalism. This thicker wire also provides a straighter face for architectural finishes.
Each basket comes with lacing wire for easy assembly, and we offer a selection of sizes to accommodate a variety of projects:
- 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.5m – Approximate stone required: 375kg.
- 1.0m x 0.5m x 0.5m – Approximate stone required: 750kg.
- 1.0m x 1.0m x 1.0m – Approximate stone required: 1500kg.
Whether you’re looking to build a decorative feature or a robust retaining wall, gabion baskets are a versatile and attractive solution. You can also order the appropriate amount of stone with your gabion basket, ensuring a complete and easy solution.
What Are gabion cages used for?
Gabion stone baskets are widely used in both residential and commercial projects. Their primary uses include:
- Retaining Walls: Perfect for stabilising slopes or building structural walls.
- Landscaping Features: Create stunning garden walls, decorative benches, or privacy screens.
- Flood Control: Gabion baskets are often used for riverbank protection or erosion control due to their strength and water permeability.
- Sound Barriers: Can be used as soundproofing walls along roads and highways.
Each of our basket sizes is suited for different project scales. The smaller 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.5m size is ideal for smaller decorative features or edging, while the larger 1.0m x 1.0m x 1.0m basket is better suited for large retaining walls or soundproofing.
Why Gabion Stone?
Gabion stone is specifically selected for use in these baskets due to its size, shape, and durability. Its angular, wedge-like form ensures it sits securely within the basket, preventing movement and creating a strong, interlocked structure. The use of gabion stone is efficient for both functional and decorative purposes.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT DELIVERY SERVICE FOR YOUR PROJECT
Our products are generally large and bulky – you need to consider the right delivery option for your build. We offer a range of services from crane off-load to UK wide pallet deliveries. Read more about our options below and be sure to discuss your requirements when ordering.
OUR DELIVERY OPTIONS
CRANE OFF-LOAD
Our crane-off load vehicle carries up to 14 tonnes and is ideal for large deliveries or positioning large rocks and crates of stone into specific areas. Our crane lorry is just under 3m wide and around 9m long, the crane arm has a reach of around 6m. Bear in mind that while an entrance may be wide enough for our lorry, swing angles – or lack of, can prevent us from entering your driveway. If you’re interested to find out more about how we can deliver to your property or site address then do get in touch and speak to our team.
UK NATIONWIDE DELIVERIES
For deliveries further away from our base we use a third-party pallet distribution network delivered via tail off-load lorry. Items will be delivered to the roadside – a flat level surface is required for delivery.
COLLECTION
Collection is available with any of our products and allows you to avoid any delivery charges. All you need to do is bring a suitable vehicle for the load. While we endeavour to take care when loading customer vehicles we do not accept any liability for damage caused when loading under their instruction.
To order, give us a call on 023 8061 3178 or send us an email to info@milesstone.co.uk and we’ll be in touch soon.
