STAINLESS STEEL GABIONS
Gabion Supply is a top U.S. source for stainless steel gabions. We deliver durable baskets and mattresses, essential for premium gabion structures.
Why Choose Stainless Steel Gabions?
Stainless steel gabions are durable metal containers that hold sturdy filler materials, such as concrete, sand, rocks, and soil. Also called baskets or cages, gabions are typically crafted with galvanized or stainless steel, co-polymer plastics, and other strong metals. The versatile design of stainless steel gabions allows for use in a wide range of applications, including construction, landscaping, road building, and erosion control.
In business since 2012, Gabion Supply is a trusted industry leader in the United States, offering premium gabion solutions. Our products include baskets, marine mattresses, custom-designed gabions, and earth anchors.
Types and Grades of Stainless Steel Gabions
Gabion Supply offers a wide selection of stainless steel gabions. Stainless steel's unmatched ability to withstand corrosion caused by saltwater makes these products ideal for shoreline and waterway projects, and they work well in rainy and earthquake-prone regions.
Our steel gabion options include Type 304 stainless steel and Marine Grade Type 316L stainless steel. Here's a breakdown of each type:
- Type 304 stainless steel. One of the most common types of stainless steel, Type 304, is utilized in a variety of applications in which corrosion resistance and excellent durability are necessary. Iron, chromium, and nickel are the main components of this alloy, and Type 304 is considered the most economical type of stainless steel.
- Marine-grade Type 316L stainless steel. Ideal for coastal and tidal zones with high salinity, Type 316L is the best option for high-salinity coastal and tidal zones. DURA-WELD gabions are crafted with Type 316L, and they stand up well to corrosion and elemental damage. This alloy consists of chromium, nickel-molybdenum, manganese, carbon, and traces of other metals. Due to its high molybdenum content, Type 316L stainless steel is typically more expensive than other stainless steels.
Benefits of Using Stainless Steel Gabions
Our durable stainless steel gabions resist corrosion from elemental and saltwater damage. The overall durability of DURA-WELD gabions ensures a long service life and reduced need for maintenance, which can help customers save on costs over time. High-tensile-strength stainless steel ensures the gabions can stand up to pulling, stretching, and other elemental forces, and its flexible design withstands heavy flooding and ground movement.
Some additional benefits include:
- Eco-friendliness. DURA-WELD gabions are fabricated to support vegetation growth, ensuring nearby plant life thrives and flourishes. Stainless steel also greatly reduces the need for installing concrete drainage structures.
- Architectural appeal. The modern aesthetic of stainless steel gabions makes them a great option for structures with visible walls or facades. Clean lines offer a contemporary look, and the gabions maintain a clean finish to complement a variety of exterior decor schemes.
Stainless Steel Gabion Applications
Stainless steel gabions are dependable and durable for road construction, shoreline stabilization and architectural features. Gabion walls are perfect for both aesthetic and security purposes, and their versatility and porosity make them great for landscaping and military uses.

"Stainless Steel" is the general name for a large family of alloy steels that contain at least 10.5% chromium as part of their composition. At and above this level of chromium, a complex chrome-oxide surface layer forms that prevents further oxygen atoms from penetrating into the steel and thus protects the iron in the matrix from rusting. This layer is what makes the steel "stainless." Higher levels of chromium and the addition of other alloying elements such as molybdenum and nickel enhance this protective barrier and further improve the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel. There are many different types of stainless, but for rigging products, the most commonly used are the 300 series stainless steels (type 304 & type 316)
