FAQs

What size stones should I use to fill the gabion basket?

You can use a variety of materials, including natural stones, gravel, crushed concrete, or sandstone. The size of the stones should be appropriate for the mesh openings to prevent them from falling out, typically ranging from small gravel to fist-sized rocks.

Are the filling stones included with the gabion basket?

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

What are the dimensions of the gabion basket?

The dimensions of the gabion basket are H:50.0 x W:200.0 x D:80.0 cm.

Is this gabion basket suitable for supporting a heavy load, like a raised garden bed?

The gabion basket is designed for decorative purposes, as a retaining wall, or barrier. While stable when filled, it is not intended for structural load-bearing applications beyond its intended use for landscaping.

How do I ensure the basket stays stable once filled?

Ensure the basket is placed on a level surface and filled evenly with dense materials like gravel or rocks. The strengthened hooks also help maintain structural integrity.

What safety precautions are needed during assembly?

It is crucial to wear safety shoes and protective gloves as the metal wires can have sharp edges.

What is the wire diameter of the gabion basket?

The gabion basket features a robust wire diameter of 3.5 mm.

Troubleshooting

Basket not maintaining shape

Ensure all gabion hooks are securely fastened and that the filling material is evenly distributed throughout the basket. Overfilling one side can cause it to sag.

Difficulty connecting wire panels

Check that the panels are aligned correctly. The hooks are designed to be inserted into the mesh openings to secure the panels tightly.

Rust appears on the surface

While galvanised iron is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or damage to the coating can lead to rust. Minor surface rust can often be cleaned, but significant damage may require attention or replacement.
