FAQs

What size rocks should I use to fill the gabion?

The mesh size is 10 x 5 cm, so rocks or gravel should be larger than 5 cm to prevent them from falling out. Ensure the rocks are dense enough to provide stability.

Are the rocks or gravel included with the gabion?

No, the stones or gravel for filling are not included in the delivery. You will need to source these separately.

How do I ensure the gabion is stable?

The gabion is designed with a sturdy mesh and includes two posts for added stability. Ensure it is placed on level ground and filled densely with appropriate material. The posts should be firmly integrated into the structure.

Can this gabion be used for a pond liner?

This gabion is designed as a retaining wall or landscape feature and is not intended for use as a pond liner. Its porous nature would not hold water.

What is the material of the gabion basket?

The gabion basket is made of iron that is rustproof and weather-resistant.

How much weight can this gabion support?

The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity. However, the 3.5 mm wire diameter and welded mesh construction are designed for substantial filling with rocks or gravel to create a robust structure.

Troubleshooting

Gabion appears unstable after filling

Ensure the ground is level and compacted. Verify that the two included posts have been correctly installed and secured to provide maximum support. Check if the gabion has been filled evenly and densely.

Mesh panels are difficult to connect

Ensure all panels are properly aligned. Some models may require wire ties (not included) for a more secure connection, especially if the design doesn't include a simple interlocking mechanism.

Sharp edges encountered during assembly

Always wear thick protective gloves and safety shoes when handling and assembling the gabion. Be cautious when moving and positioning the components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the installation area is level. Unfold the gabion basket and connect the mesh panels as per the design. Use the included posts to secure the structure. Fill the basket evenly with suitable rocks or gravel (not included) of a size that fits within the 10 x 5 cm mesh openings. Safety Note: Metal wires can be pointed and sharp-edged.
