FAQs

What kind of filling material should I use?

You can use rocks, gravel, or crushed stone. Ensure the pieces are large enough to not fall through the 10 x 5 cm mesh. Common choices include granite, river rocks, or quarry stones.

Are the stones included with the gabion wall?

No, the stones or filling material are not included with the delivery. You will need to source these separately.

How do I connect multiple gabion walls together?

Multiple units can be placed side by side. Depending on the exact connection mechanism or if an overlap is possible, you may need additional wire or fasteners to ensure a stable connection between adjacent baskets.

What is the wire diameter of the mesh?

The wire diameter is 3.5 mm, providing robust construction.

Can this gabion wall be used for structural support in a significant landscaping project?

Yes, it is designed as a strong retaining wall solution and can support moderate amounts of soil and earth. For very large or critical structural applications, consulting a landscaping professional is recommended.

How should I prepare the ground before installing the gabion wall?

Ensure the ground is level and firm. For retaining walls, it is advisable to create a solid, compacted base to prevent settling or shifting under the weight of the filled gabion.

What are the overall dimensions of the gabion wall?

The dimensions are 60 cm in length, 30 cm in width, and 100 cm in height (L x W x H).

Troubleshooting

Gabion wall appears unstable after filling

Ensure the gabion wall was placed on a level surface and that the filling material was distributed evenly. Check that all mesh connections are securely fastened.

Filling material is falling out of the mesh

Use larger stones or gravel that are too big to pass through the 10 x 5 cm mesh openings. Ensure the top and bottom covers are properly secured.

Difficulty connecting mesh panels during assembly

Ensure you have the correct panels aligned. If resistance is met, double-check the panel orientation. Sometimes a gentle adjustment or tapping can help align the connection points.

Rust spots appearing on the surface

Minor rust spots can occur on galvanised steel over time. For significant corrosion, consider applying a suitable metal paint designed for galvanised surfaces to prevent further degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly: The gabion wall requires assembly. Lay out the mesh panels and connect them to form the basket structure. Ensure all connections are secure before filling. The top and bottom covers should be attached to maintain the shape.

Filling: Select suitable filling material such as rocks, gravel, or crushed stone. Ensure the size of the material is appropriate for the 10 x 5 cm mesh openings to prevent excessive loss. Distribute the filling material evenly to achieve a stable structure.

Placement: Position the assembled and filled gabion wall on a level and stable surface. For retaining walls, ensure the base is adequately prepared to support the weight and prevent shifting.

Care: The galvanised steel is designed for outdoor durability. Minimal care is required. Periodically check for any loose connections or damage to the mesh. Ensure the filling material remains stable. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.
