I'm guessing they must be reinforced, i can't see the gabions I've installed even managing being moved on a pallet without sagging

Yeah 5mm mesh and 20mm rods built in

One in action a few minutes down the road. Five tonne digger and a tracked skidsteer out of shot, stoning a footpath round a lovely little lake less than 20k from the city centre.
Pleasing prevalence of skidsteers all round. At least one for every three diggers. Quite a few big backhoes too.

Didn’t really look. Does topsoil tie together with vegetation on an edge like that and stop the stone from squirming away?

Been messing about tidying up a pond today ...retired engineer bought an old backhoe that was a nonrunner and got her up and running to dig a pond, he struggled( as you would expect) to get a decent finish ready for the gardeners so I helped him get it something like.
He made the bridge and a jib (is that the right word ?) for the backactor so he could swing it in will look nice when its finished.
