Rockweld - Weldmesh Gabions by Prospect Contractors Rockweld Gabions are made of welded galvanised steel, which are filled with rock, stone or pebbles. The strength and durability of the welded steel combined with the rock fill, creates a strong, hard-wearing, secure and even fire proof product. Rockweld is also maintenance free!

We have the very best company owned and operated equipment and we take care to ensure all our Rockweld products are installed correctly and efficiently to optimise their effectiveness, visual impact and lifespan.

Applications include fencing, feature walls, retaining walls and seating which can be adapted to different shapes and sizes. Rockweld fencing is the perfect solution in busy traffic areas, as they offer noise reduction and protection against passing traffic.

ROCK FINISHES We recommend and use Australian standard AS2758.4-2000 rock and the size must be a minimum of 80mm and a maximum of 250mm. The rock we use must be dense, hard, durable and resistant to elements such as air and water. We generally use sandstone or bluestone in our walls. The photos below show the difference in finish between hand faced or tipped-in rock. Hand-faced uses a larger rock that is arranged by hand which creates a more flat, uniform surface. Tipped-in is when smaller rock is poured in by an excavator or by hand.
