Product Information

Full details

This VidaXL Gabion Raised Bed is designed for gardeners and landscapers seeking a durable and stylish way to create borders for flower or plant beds on patios or in gardens. Its key benefit is the robust, rustproof galvanized steel construction that ensures stability and longevity. A caveat to consider is the need for personal safety precautions during setup due to potentially sharp metal edges, and that filling materials like rocks or gravel are not included. The bed features a sturdy welded mesh construction for high load capacity and a modular design for flexible arrangement.

FAQs

What materials can I use to fill the gabion raised bed?

You can use a variety of materials such as rocks, gravel, pebbles, crushed stone, or even recycled glass. Choose materials that provide stability and suit your aesthetic preferences.

Do I need to assemble the gabion before filling it?

What are the outer and inner dimensions of the gabion?

The outer dimensions are 100 cm (Length) x 100 cm (Width) x 20 cm (Height). The inner dimensions are 80 cm (Length) x 80 cm (Width) x 20 cm (Height).

Is the gabion rustproof?

Yes, the gabion is made of galvanised steel, which is rustproof and weather-resistant, designed for outdoor use.

What safety precautions should I take during setup?

Can I connect multiple gabions together?

Does the delivery include stones or plants?

Troubleshooting

Gabion appears unstable after filling

Ensure the ground is level and firm before placement. Distribute filling material evenly and consider using larger stones at the base for added stability.

Soil escaping through the mesh

Line the inside of the gabion with a geotextile fabric or landscape fabric before adding soil. This prevents soil loss while allowing water drainage.

Difficulty connecting gabion sides

Ensure all panels are correctly aligned. If connections are stiff, check for any debris hindering the fit. Minor adjustments may be needed.
