Gabion Retaining Wall: Swanvale, Falmouth

Swanvale is a brand new development situated in the beautiful harbour town of Falmouth, Cornwall. Tucked away just behind Bickland Water Road, Swanvale offers a stunning range of 3, 4 & 5 bedroom homes. 

It is also the site of an impressive 4m high staggered gabion retaining wall. Devoran Metals have supplied over 670 BBA approved gabion baskets to site since the build started in June 2014. The contractor, Fred Champion Groundworks, have used 3/4mm galfan coated gabions which are comprised of a 3mm carcass and a 4mm facing panel (for a better aesthetic finish), fixed with helical connectors. 

We think they have done a fantastic job installing the gabion baskets and it is a fine example of quality workmanship to be admired for many years to come. See for yourself...

Customer Projects - Europe

Here at Devoran Gabions we love seeing how our customers transform their gardens using the gabions they buy from us. From small seating areas to full scale retaining walls and flood defences, we always enjoy receiving customer photos and feedback!

This year our BBA approved gabions have been shipped to various destinations across Europe including Luxembourg and France. This impressive retaining wall in Hobscheid, Luxembourg was delivered to a customer who needed to retain a large embankment at the back of his property. The wall was designed using our 4mm galfan gabions which have been stepped at each course. The size of stone that he has used is perfect as it gives a very professional finish to the wall and ensures stability and structure throughout the design life. To maintain a good aesthetic we advise that you use 4mm facing panels for walls exceeding 3m high.

Gabions have many uses, and not all walls need to be as high as the one above to make a difference. The gabion wall below, which spans over 35m long, has been built in Brittany, France to protect this customer's property from flooding. He comments, “your product is very good and the wall is going well; it is hard work for one person but good for the muscles”. The wall is still under construction but we especially love how he has incorporated seating areas and brightened the gabions with flower baskets.

Devoran Garden Gabions: Single and ready to mingle!!

From April 2014 you can now order our BBA Approved Gabion Baskets as single units on the website rather than in packs.

Up until now www.devoran-garden-gabions.co.uk supplied gabions in pack sizes of 3 or 5, but now offer customers the choice to order as little or as many as they like. The company's sales team said, "we really value our customers and want to ensure that we are giving them the best possible service on the web. We understand how competitive the current gabion market is and think that giving our customers the option of purchasing single units rather than packs will help us gain new custom and keep us at the forefront of the market".
