How to Use
Enter the total length, height and depth of the gabion wall or protection area, then choose the basket size and stone density. Use the RFQ summary when sending drawings or project requirements.
Formula Notes
The calculator estimates structure volume, basket count and stone fill weight from project dimensions and selected basket size. Stone density uses a common bulk-density sourcing range.
baskets = ceil(volume / basket volume x allowance)
Does this calculator estimate final gabion project cost? No. It estimates basket quantity, stone-fill volume and approximate stone weight for RFQ preparation. Final price depends on the confirmed basket specification, coating, dimensions, accessories, packing, stone source and delivery, destination, and project drawing. Send the estimate with available drawings or BOQ details for quotation review.

Gabion Calculator FAQ
Is this gabion stone fill result exact?
No. It is a procurement estimate for RFQ preparation. Final quantities depend on drawings, stone grading, installation method, diaphragms, accessories, drainage and project requirements.
Can I use this calculator for both woven gabion baskets and welded gabion boxes?
Yes for early quantity estimation. Final woven or welded basket details, mesh opening, wire diameter, coating and accessories should be confirmed by drawing or order details.
What stone density should I use?
The default is 1.70 t/m³, with a common procurement estimate range of 1.50-1.80 t/m³. The actual bulk density depends on local stone type, grading, void ratio and moisture.
Does this replace engineering design?
No. The calculator is for procurement estimation only and does not replace engineering design, drainage design, slope stability review or local installation approval.
