Gabion walls: is it true that they deform over time?

There are many misconceptions about gabion walls. Among them: “Gabions deform” or “A gabion wall always ends up sagging”.

But what is the reality?
The stability of a gabion relies on three essential factors
The durability of a gabion structure depends mainly on:

1. The quality of the metal structure (wire strength, galvanisation, anti-corrosion treatment)
2. The assembly and installation method
3. The preparation of the ground and the base

A well-designed, correctly installed gabion is built to withstand loads, bad weather and the test of time.

A reliable and durable solution
Thanks to their modular, free-draining design, gabions offer excellent stability when they are sized in accordance with technical standards.

As with any outdoor structure, the quality of the materials and of the installation are decisive.
At Fimurex Gabions, we support professionals and private customers to ensure reliable, long-lasting installations.
