The following guide page answers a lot of questions about gabion walls –

Gabion Walls - Complete Guide to Building with Gabion Cages

The gauge of steel as well as the size and type of fill would need to be suitable for the intended purpose. Gabion walls used for landscaping as retaining walls would not need to be as robust as a wall that would have any safety implications such as high walls in public spaces or those that carry structural loads. Unfortunately we can’t guide you much more specifically than that as we don’t know the site, the climate (frost line), the size or the intended use, but the page above should be helpful.
