Retaining/Gabion walls
Retaining SolutionsGabion retaining walls for slopes and waterways
Fencepac designs and constructs wire mesh gabion baskets filled with rock or stone — gravity retaining structures used for erosion control, riverbank stabilisation, and landscape applications.
Rock-filled baskets that drain and flex with the ground
Gabion walls are wire mesh baskets filled with rock or stone to create gravity retaining structures. They are used for erosion control, riverbank stabilisation, and landscape applications where drainage and a natural stone aesthetic matter.
Fencepac's retaining range also includes gabion and mattress erosion protection structures. Volker Court is a published gabion installation — wire mesh baskets filled with local stone for slope stabilisation and drainage.
The structure is flexible, drains freely, and is installed by Fencepac crews with our own plant. Design is to AS4678 where the wall is a retaining structure, and to the project brief for erosion protection and hydraulic works.

When gabion walls are specified
Gabion systems we install
Baskets, mattresses, and stone fill specified to slope, water, and landscape requirements.
Gabion Gravity Walls
Wire mesh baskets filled with rock or stone to form a gravity retaining structure.
Gabion Mattresses
Gabion and mattress erosion protection structures for channels, banks, and hydraulic works.
Local Stone Fill
Baskets filled with local stone for drainage and a natural aesthetic — as at Volker Court.
Slope Stabilisation
Gabion structures used to hold slopes and provide free drainage behind the face.
Riverbank & Channel Work
Gabions specified for riverbank stabilisation and erosion control along water.
Flexible Structure
A gabion mass that can tolerate settlement better than a rigid concrete face on some ground conditions.

Frequently asked questions — Gabion walls
A gabion wall is a gravity retaining structure made from wire mesh baskets filled with rock or stone. Fencepac installs gabion walls for erosion control, riverbank stabilisation, and landscape applications.
Yes. Fencepac's retaining systems include gabion walls and gabion and mattress erosion protection structures.
Gabions are typically chosen where drainage, a natural stone face, erosion control, or a flexible structure matters. Crib and segmental systems are often chosen for a more regular engineered face. We help select the system from height, loads, ground conditions, program, and finish.
Fencepac designs retaining walls to AS4678. Erosion protection and hydraulic structures are designed to the project brief and the relevant standards for that work.
