Gabions have been used to protect areas along rivers from flooding. Some woven reed gabion baskets date back to around 7000 years ago, when the Egyptians used them along the Nile river. Gabion baskets have also been used in the military to protect soldiers from enemy fire, during the American Civil War.
Furthermore, gabion baskets have been used to repair damage caused by soil erosion and to rehabilitate river areas. Gabion baskets have also been used in the construction of dams, by creating temporary walls and enforcing dam walls.
Lately, gabions have become fashionable décor pieces. Terraforma Landscapes constructs a wide range of trendy steel gabion and woven mesh gabion décor products for the landscaping and decorating industries.
