Thread: Gabion Wall

Thinking of building a gabion retaining wall around my land thinking it might be a cheaper and stronger and nicer option then concrete.

MY only real unknown in the price of rocks any one got any ideas on how much rock would cost

possibly depending where you live.?

I know around yaso there very expensive, no mining around here.

There are quite a few companies supplying decent cages here in Thailand, so the wirework isn't a problem and decent prices too, but the stone itself is quite expensive I think. I don't know what stone you'd be looking for, but probably granite. I was quoted for granite boulders for landscaping, the price was 5 baht a kilo (delivered). Can't find any costs online , but I'd expect broken granite would probably be a bit cheaper.

You'd probably still have to arrange the exterior visible facing rock to some degree (the central core can be rough as you like), so this too would add on extra costs.

there is a quarry in surat thani, we got a truck load of granite for @ 1000b per ton.
the other option is river stones.

Considering the sg of rock is around 2.5 that works out to 2500B cubic meter.

Are you referring to the tie wire if not than I am not sure what you mean

Planing to use "dam rocks" (หินเขื่อน). which neverna mentioned it doesnt come with fines. From all the reading i have done you don't want fines in gabion wall

I think he’ll get it.

My brother is having his house in UK remodeled.
Knocking the kitchen dining room into one to make it more modern and up-to-date to add value.
I asked him about his Ha-ha. He said all done.
After reading this post I asked "Gabion wall".
He said yes 65m long.
As soon as my niece sends me a picture...

I get it now you are talking about geo fabric I found one supplier and worse case was thinking shade cloth would do the trick.
If you know some suppliers of geo fabric please share

Very good and congratulations!

After spending so much time and money on a beautiful wall you don’t want the embankment/fill behind the wall to slowly seep out (due to water).

I don’t know if they are open any longer but you might want to contact the company below,…..

PRODUCT GEOTEXTILES - Premier Lining Interplas Co., Ltd.

Just a little note when laying the fabric,........overlap each section by at least 1 foot (don’t place it end to end)

Good luck with the wall.

A gabion thread. No fish or goats involved

Wall at Khung Wiman, Chanthaburi, built about 2011-12

Overlap of geotextile should be 1 metre

Does 850 baht seem fair for a 2 x 1 x 1 gabion cage

And 8000 baht for 4 x 100 meter roll of non woven geotextile
