Case Study: Gabion Cladding (Gunnersbury Park Sports Hub)

Project: Gabion Cladding at Gunnersbury Park Sports Hub
Construction: 2020

Case Study Summary

This project showcases how gabion cladding can be used to create a durable and low-maintenance building facade. Constructed using 4mm welded mesh gabion baskets and filled with limestone, the cladding provides a robust exterior finish that is designed to withstand the elements while protecting the building. Gabion cladding is an excellent alternative to traditional wall finishes, offering natural drainage, excellent durability and minimal maintenance.

“The aligned basket layout is one of the standout features of this project. By matching the basket corners vertically and horizontally, the cladding achieves a consistent finish while making installation more straightforward and ensuring each panel connects securely with the next.”
