FAQs
What is the mesh size of the gabion?
The mesh size is 10 x 5 cm (L x W).
Do I need to buy stones separately?
Yes, the stones or filling material are not included in the delivery and must be purchased separately.
What safety precautions should I take during setup?
It is essential to wear safety shoes and protective gloves because the metal wires can be pointed and have sharp edges.
What is the thickness of the metal wire?
The thickness of the metal wire is 3.5 mm.
Can this gabion be used for anything other than plants?
While designed as a raised bed, its sturdy construction means it could be adapted for other landscaping features, provided the filling material is suitable and safe.
How do I ensure the gabion is stable?
Ensure the gabion is placed on a level, firm surface and filled evenly and densely with your chosen material (rocks, gravel).
Troubleshooting
Gabion appears unstable after filling.
Ensure the gabion is placed on a level surface and that the filling material is packed tightly and evenly throughout the structure. Check if all assembly components are securely fastened.
Difficulty during assembly.
Refer to the assembly instructions provided. Ensure you have the correct tools and that all panels are aligned properly before connecting them. Safety gear (gloves, protective shoes) is essential due to sharp edges.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
While the gabion is galvanised and rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to certain environments or damage to the coating can cause minor rust. Small spots can typically be left untreated or treated with a galvanised repair paint if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: This gabion raised bed requires assembly. Ensure all parts are present before starting. Follow the provided instructions carefully. Due to the sharp edges of the metal wires, it is crucial to wear safety shoes and protective gloves during setup. A level surface is recommended for optimal stability.
Compatibility: The gabion is compatible with various filling materials such as rocks, gravel, or even reclaimed materials, allowing for customization to match your garden's aesthetic. It is suitable for most garden and patio environments.
Care: Minimal care is required. Periodically check the structure for any loose wires or instability. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the filling material remains stable. The galvanised coating provides inherent protection against rust, but avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
