Stone cages are metal cages or chests filled with stones or other general soil materials, and are often used as retaining walls or other outdoor walls. Cages most often use stainless steel, galvanized or powder-coated steel wire mesh plates, which are then joined together with a spiral adhesive or ring fasteners to form a rectangular shape.

Advantages:
1. Easy to install: no ground foundation required.
2. Longevity: The main factor in longevity is the high penetration rate of stone cages. Rainwater can pass through the voids between rocks, eliminating accumulated hydrostatic pressure and reducing potential alterations or distortions. At the same time, the inherent strength of the corrosion-resistant material over time makes the stone cage wall foundation evergreen.
3. Environmental and sustainable qualities: If recycled concrete or rock is used on site, the cost can be greatly reduced.
4. Aesthetic characteristics: Stone cages can be harmonized with the natural environment.

shortcoming:
1. Bulk: Stone cage walls, flower pots, etc. take up a lot of space and may not be suitable for a small garden.
2. Wildlife Habitat: Small animals can grow in the space between rocks, and in some spaces it may have an impact.
3. Special note: When choosing a filler for a stone cage retaining wall, it is important to ensure that the material is inside a cage that is large enough (usually more than 3 inches in diameter).
4. Maintenance: There really is no maintenance.

cost:
Stone cages are considered to be a low-cost-effective landscape feature. If you use recycled concrete materials, it is quite cheap.

The following is a brief introduction to the manufacturing method of the stone cage wall.

Before making the wall,
We first have to prepare an important part of the stone cage wall – the cage.
We usually use galvanized mesh cages,
This can play a role in preventing rust.

The first step is to level the ground.
We need to hoe the ground horizontally with a hoe.
and tamping the foundation,
If it is soft soil,
Need to make a 150 mm thick gravel cushion,
to prevent the settlement of the scenic wall.

The second step is to prevent weeds.
It is necessary to set up barrier layers on both sides of the foundation,
Made from corrugated steel plates and wooden planks,
So that weeds don’t grow into stone cages,
It can also play a role in draining water.

The third step is to assemble the stone cage.
Assembling a wire cage is not difficult,
Will be several sides of mesh-like barbed wire,
It can be twisted together with spiral-shaped wire.

Fourth, insert the compartment.
To prevent the cage from expanding outward when filled with stones,
We inserted a tie knot tendon in the middle of the cage and fixed it.

The fifth step is to load the stones.
It takes some time to load the rocks.
We can pay attention to the color matching of the stone in the process of loading,
Put the nice stones outside,
This makes our stone walls even more beautiful.
The corners are the trickiest and we can place stones at natural right angles,
They will be perfect for this angle.

ok, 5 easy steps,
You can make a beautiful stone cage retaining wall,
This kind of wall does not require you to have a good wall technology,
Anyway with the help of the cage…
The finished effect is also very stylish,
More interesting than the average stone wall.

Nowadays, more and more designers use stone cages in landscape gardens, which has become an artistic method of landscape architects.

Stone cage paving, usually set in the low-lying area of the landscape site, at the bottom of the paving set up a drainage blind pipe, can effectively infiltrate rainwater and organize drainage, to ensure that low-lying areas do not accumulate water. At the same time, the filler in the stone cage can also simply filter the rainwater, and effectively reduce the flow rate of runoff during heavy rainfall, which plays an ecological role.

In the stone cage, it has long been not limited to only loading stones, and the glass is placed in the stone cage, especially at night with lights, which feels super beautiful.

Welded gabion are characteristic of the decorative gardens. It can be used in a variety of unexpected forms in gardens, including as walls and gates. The gebbin mesh structure can be used as a feature of almost all gardens. This water feature is very unique!
