FAQs

What size rocks should I use to fill the gabion?

The mesh size is 10 x 5 cm, so rocks should be sized appropriately to not easily fall through. Larger, angular stones work well for stability and aesthetics.

Are the posts included in the delivery?

Yes, the gabion basket includes 3 posts to help with stability during and after assembly.

Can I connect multiple gabion baskets together?

Yes, multiple baskets can be placed adjacent to each other to create longer walls or larger structures. Ensure they are securely aligned.

Does the gabion basket come with a base or lid?

This product is designed as an open basket for filling. It does not include a separate base or lid.

What is the wire diameter?

The wire diameter is 3.5 mm, which contributes to the overall sturdiness of the gabion.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the specific warranty information provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the time of purchase, as warranty terms can vary.

Can this be used as a freestanding decorative element?

Yes, when filled appropriately, it can serve as a decorative element. However, its primary design is for stability as a retaining structure.

Troubleshooting

Gabion appears unstable

Ensure the ground beneath is level and compacted. Verify that all posts are securely installed and attached to the gabion. Check if the gabion is filled evenly and sufficiently to provide ballast.

Mesh is bulging outwards

The gabion may have been overfilled or filled unevenly. Redistribute the filling material to ensure even pressure. Avoid using excessively large or irregularly shaped stones that could create uneven stress points.

Difficulty attaching posts

Ensure the ground is suitable for driving posts. If the ground is very hard, pre-digging or moistening the soil may help. Double-check the post orientation and ensure they align with the designated attachment points on the gabion.

Cons

  • Stones or gravel for filling are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Assembly requires manual labor for filling and placement.
  • The U-shape might be limiting for certain specific design requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is required. Position the gabion basket in its intended location before filling. Ensure the ground is level and firm. Fill the basket evenly with rocks or gravel (not included) to the desired level. The included posts should be secured into the ground and attached to the gabion for maximum stability. Always follow the included assembly instructions for the best results.

Compatibility: This gabion basket is compatible with various filling materials such as rocks, gravel, crushed stone, or even reclaimed bricks. It is suitable for use in gardens, patios, driveways, and other landscape design projects. Ensure the chosen fill material is appropriately sized for the 10 x 5 cm mesh openings.

Care: Due to its rustproof iron construction, minimal care is needed. Periodically check for any debris that might obstruct the mesh. Ensure the fill material remains stable and that the structure is not overloaded beyond its intended capacity. In areas with extreme weather, inspect the posts and wire integrity annually.
