Eccofence Alubox

Eccofence Alubox

In addition to the ECCOfence KIT self-build kit, there is also the ECCOfence Alubox self-build kit. ECCOfence Alubox is a narrow (only 16.5 cm) and trendy gabion. Alubox is unique because of its aluminum top profile, making it perfect for use as a garden table or bench. Also for places where a crane cannot be used, ECCOfence Alubox is the ideal solution since you can assemble and fill it yourself in no time. There is a suitable ECCOfence Alubox for every project. It is available in four heights: 40, 90, 140 and 190 cm. A standard gabion is always 201 cm long, using a disk cutter and a pair of cutters you can easily adjust the Alubox to the desired length.

Benefits

PROFESSIONAL ALL-IN-ONE CONSTRUCTION KIT
ECCOfence Alubox all-in-one kit contains the wire mesh panels, sides (which are also the feet), top profile in aluminum and galvanised ties (which prevent the gabion from deforming over time). For the installation you need to provide a concrete foundation or ring beam (taking bearing capacity into account) or install with fast-setting concrete and the ground anchor. You can purchase anchor bolts, nuts and screws yourself from a dealer of your choice.

 

CAN BE ASSEMBLED AND FILLED ON SITE
You don’t need a crane or forklift to install ECCOfence Alubox gabions! You can easily assemble and fill the gabion yourself. ECCOfence Alubox gabions can be filled with ECCOfence stones (Belgian Blue, Rouge Belge, Carrara split, Grafrado, Lava or Sillistone) or you can choose another stone (size between 40 and 100 mm) or wood chips of your choice.

 

LITTLE LOSS OF SPACE DUE TO MODERATE WIDTH
ECCOfence Alubox gabions are only 16.5 cm wide. As a result, they provide only a slight loss of space and can also be used as a garden table or garden bench.

 

MODERN APPEARANCE
ECCOfence Alubox gabions have aluminum sides and an aluminum top profile, giving this gabion a very trendy look. The panels of ECCOfence Alubox are galvanised.

 

MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
ECCOfence Alubox can be used as fencing in the garden, but also as a garden bench or garden table.

 

EASY & QUICK INSTALLATION
ECCOfence Alubox gabions were designed to be as user-friendly as possible. ECCOfence Alubox gabions can be assembled in no time. No need to fiddle with hundreds of clamps to fasten the various parts together and expensive pliers. Moreover, the panel is already adjusted to the height of your gabion. So Alubox 190 has a panel that is 190 cm high. This way, there is no need to place several overlapping panels on top of each other, making the stones less visible. The wire meshes are 50 x 50 mm, allowing you to choose from a wide range of stones.

 

EASY CUSTOMISABLE
ECCOfence Alubox has a standard length of 201 cm. Do you only need a wall of about 1 meter length? No problem! You can easily customise the gabion, by trimming the base with a disk cutter and the panels with a pair of cutters. After adjustment, spray it with zinc alu spray!

 

CHOOSE BETWEEN 5 TYPES OF STONES
ECCOfence Alubox gabions can be filled with five types of ECCOfence stones:

Belgian Blue – a blue-gray rubble stone with a size of 40-63 mm
Rouge Belge – Belgian red limestone with a specific pattern of white and greyish veins and a size of 60-100 mm
Carrara split – a white boulder with a size of 60-100 mm
Grafrado – a beige crushed stone with a size of 60-90 mm
Sillistone – a white-gray boulder with a size of 60-100 mm

Application

APPLICATIONS

FENCE
ECCOfence is the ideal solution for fencing or the replacement of traditional fencing in wire or wood. ECCOfence is a high quality product that requires virtually no maintenance and has a very long lifespan (unlike wood, for example, that can eventually discolour or even rot). ECCOfence involves little loss of space (Alubox only 16.5 cm wide and KIT & PRO 20 cm) without sacrificing safety. ECCOfence consists of full wire mesh panels, up to a height of 200 cm, so you don’t have the noticeable transitions that occur with block fencing).

 

TERRACE
Do you wish to close off your terrace? Then you can definitely choose ECCOfence. ECCOfence gabions have a natural look and fit both austere and more rural surroundings.

 

PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS
In addition, you can also use ECCOfence gabions to protect buildings or commercial premises, as they are solidly anchored in concrete.

 

PARKING AREA
ECCOfence gabions can also be used as fences for your parking areas or bicycle parkings.

 

PUBLICITY
Do you wish to put your company in the spotlight? ECCOfence can help you with that, thanks to the modern and high quality gabions, your company logo or slogan will catch the eye immediately.

 

RETAINING WALL
ECCOfence can also be used as retaining walls, thanks to their anchoring in concrete they have a very high load-bearing capacity. You just need to apply a cloth where the soil presses against the gabion to avoid leaching and you’re done.

Specifications

The standard dimensions for ECCOfence Alubox gabions are (LxWxH* in cm):

ECCOfence Alubox 40: 201 x 16,5 x 40 cm
ECCOfence Alubox 90: 201 x 16,5 x 90 cm
ECCOfence Alubox 140: 201 x 16,5 x 140 cm
ECCOfence Alubox 190: 201 x 16,5 x 190 cm

 

ECCOfence Alubox kit includes the following items: 2 aluminum sides (L-profile) with EN AW-6060 T66 alloy and tolerance according to EN 755-9. Width of the side is 16.5 cm (= width of gabion). The side with L-profile also contains 2 holes for the M12 anchor bolts or ground anchor M12 (both optional to order). 2 wire mesh panels: these are made from 340 g/m² zinc-aluminum alloy. The meshes are 4 mm wide and 50 x 50 mm. Connecting ties (12 for Alubox 40, 18 for Alubox 90, 36 for Alubox 140 and 48 for Alubox 190): these are specially designed so that the panels are fixed both outwards and inwards. This prevents the panels from falling against each other during filling and ensures that they will not bend over time.

 

Installation material included with your order:
1 fitting plate of 1.98 cm length and 16.5 cm width: the fitting plate is a galfan plate with a thickness of 1.2 mm and it is made so that it automatically calibrates the distance between 2 sides in order to make the panels fit perfectly. Also included in the package are 6 wooden blocks that protect the ties during filling.

 

Required choice for your order:

1 upper profile of 201 cm length and 16.5 cm width. The upper profile also consists of aluminum alloy EN AW-6060 T66 and tolerance according to EN 755-9 OR
if you prefer a galvanised top panel over an aluminium top profile, this is also possible.

The upper panel is made from a zinc-aluminum alloy of 340 g/m². The meshes are 4 mm wide and are 50 x 50 mm. The upper panel is 201 cm long and 16.5 cm wide. It is folded on the side, which makes it very easy to place it on the gabion. The upper panel is then secured with 6 plastic strips (optional to order).

 

The following items can be ordered optionally:

4 M12 anchor bolts per gabion: these have a 12 mm diameter drill hole and a depth of 85 mm. One anchor bolt can bear 2,150 kg, which is an enormous amount of weight. Feel free to purchase the wedge bolts from another manufacturer. Because the anchor bolt must be sufficiently anchored, it should always be set in concrete (min. 350 kg cement/m³). So this may not be anchored with stabelised sand OR
1 ground anchor per gabion + 1 additional ground anchor for the first gabion: each ground anchor contains 4 M12 bolts (height 670 mm), as well as a base (250 x 150 x 5 mm) and fitting plate (125 x 100 x 1 mm). The advantage of the ground anchor is that you can work with fast-setting concrete (curing time is only 2h)
The ideal size for filling ECCOfence ALUBOX, depending on the shape of the stones, is between 40mm and 90mm. The required filling expressed in m³ is:

 

ECCOfence Alubox 40: 0,14 m³
ECCOfence Alubox 90: 0,31 m³
ECCOfence Alubox 140: 0,49 m³
ECCOfence Alubox 190: 0,66 m³
