Gabion Baskets

Gabion Baskets - Rackerman

Gabion baskets are welded steel wire cages you fill with stone, rock or rubble to build retaining walls, garden walls, raised beds, planters and seating — no concrete, no mortar, no rot, just a rugged natural finish that drains freely and lasts for decades. Every gabion basket in the Rackerman range is GALFAN-coated (a zinc-aluminium alloy giving up to three times the corrosion resistance of standard galvanising, with a 50–100 year expected lifespan).

Choose your gauge

The range comes in two wire gauges so you can match the basket to the job:

  • 10 gauge (3mm) — our most popular gabion baskets, in 18 sizes from compact 300mm cubes up to 2.025m cages. Ideal for garden walls, planters, raised beds, seating and low-to-mid retaining walls.
  • Heavy-duty 8 gauge (4mm) — thicker, stiffer wire for taller gabion retaining walls, gabion fencing and commercial projects where strength matters.

Sizes, mesh & assembly

Mesh aperture is set by basket size — 50mm square mesh on the compact 300mm and 450mm baskets, and 75mm on 525mm and larger cages. Every basket ships as a flat-pack kit with welded wire panels, helicoil corner spirals and bracing wire for fast on-site assembly. Pair them with our gabion clips and lacing wire to join cages into walls and runs.
