FAQs

What is a gabion basket?

A gabion basket is a wire cage filled with rocks or other materials, used for landscaping and construction as a retaining wall, barrier, or decorative element.

Do I need to buy stones separately?

What kind of materials can I use to fill the basket?

Is this product suitable for heavy-duty retaining walls?

How do I ensure the basket stays in shape?

The basket is designed with strengthened gabion hooks that connect the wire panels tightly. Proper filling and ensuring these hooks are secure will maintain its shape.

Troubleshooting

Basket is unstable after filling

Ensure the base is level and the filling material is evenly distributed. Check that all gabion hooks are securely fastened.

Wire edges are unexpectedly sharp

Always wear protective gloves during assembly and handling. If edges remain sharp after assembly, consider filing them down cautiously or ensuring they are not accessible.
