Gabion Basket - 100 x 30 x 30 cm

You can use a variety of inert filling materials such as crushed stone, granite, limestone, gravel, or even recycled concrete. Choose a size that is larger than the mesh openings to prevent it from falling out.

No, the stones or filling material are not included with the gabion basket. They must be purchased separately.

Most gabion baskets are designed to be connected using helical ties or by lacing wires through adjacent mesh openings. Check the product manual for specific connection methods.

While gabions are durable, they are primarily designed for dry landscaping applications like retaining walls. Using them for water features might require additional waterproofing and consideration for the long-term effects of constant moisture on the galvanized coating and surrounding ground.

Always wear heavy-duty gloves to protect your hands from sharp wire edges. When filling, be aware of the weight of the materials and the filled gabion. Consider wearing safety glasses and sturdy footwear.

The galvanized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and is designed for outdoor use. The lifespan depends on environmental conditions, but it typically offers many years of protection against rust.

For basic garden features, simply positioning the gabion may suffice. However, for retaining walls or areas with potential instability, securing it to the ground or a foundation is highly recommended for safety and longevity.

Ensure the ground beneath is level and compacted. For significant structures, consider adding ground anchors or a more robust foundation. Check that the gabion itself is properly assembled and secured.

Fill the gabion in layers, compacting each layer slightly. Ensure the top and bottom covers are securely fastened to help retain the filling.

Minor surface rust may not compromise structural integrity but indicates potential long-term wear. Ensure the coating is not significantly damaged. For extensive damage, consider protective coatings if appropriate for the application, though this is often not necessary for standard use.

Ensure all panels are correctly aligned before attempting to connect them. Refer to the assembly diagrams provided with the product. A rubber mallet might assist in aligning connections without damaging the wire.
