This VidaXL Hexagonal Gabion Raised Bed is designed for gardeners and landscapers seeking a durable and stylish solution for creating raised garden beds or patio borders. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, long-lasting structure that can be filled with local materials like rocks for a natural aesthetic. A key consideration is that stones and plants are not included, and care must be taken during assembly due to sharp edges. Key features include its rustproof, weather-resistant galvanised steel construction and a stable mesh design for structural integrity.

The gabion is designed to be filled with rocks or gravel. The size and type of stone will affect the final appearance and stability. Larger, angular stones tend to interlock better for maximum stability.
A level and stable surface is recommended. For very soft ground, consider a base layer of compacted gravel to ensure stability, especially for larger or taller gabion structures.
The gabion has a loading capacity of 1400 kg/m³. The exact volume of filler required would depend on the density of the material used. It's advisable to purchase slightly more filler than estimated to ensure complete filling.
The gabion itself is not designed for direct planting. It acts as a container for filler material. You would typically plant into the soil contained within the raised bed area created by the gabion, or place pots within the structure if space allows and drainage is managed.
It is essential to wear safety shoes and protective gloves, as the metal wires can be pointed and have sharp edges. Handle the components with care.
Yes, galvanised steel is chosen for its rustproof and weather-resistant qualities, providing durability for outdoor use. However, avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the coating.
Ensure the gabion is placed on a level surface and has been filled evenly with sufficient weight (rocks/gravel). Check that all wire connections are secure.
Verify that all panels are oriented correctly. Gentle manipulation might be needed, but avoid forcing connections. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points.
While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to certain environments or damage to the coating can cause corrosion. Minor spots can sometimes be treated with appropriate metal paint, but significant corrosion may indicate a need for replacement.
