Claim:
1. A gabion comprising a plurality of interconnected side walls, each side wall comprising at least one substantially closed side wall element panel, wherein each substantially closed side wall element panel is manufactured of a sheet material, wherein the substantially closed side wall element panel is provided with a hinge receiving means for connecting the substantially closed side wall element panel pivotally to a neighbouring side wall element panel, thus allowing the gabion to fold for storage or transport from the fully erected and connected condition without detaching any panels from one another; wherein additional reinforcing members are affixed along the interconnection edges of said substantially closed side wall element panels, wherein each of said reinforcing members comprises a strip, and wherein said substantially closed side wall element panel is effective in preventing a gabion fill material from falling through the side wall without the aid of a gabion lining material.
