Product Information
Full details
This galvanised steel gabion wall is designed for homeowners and landscapers seeking a durable and versatile solution for retaining walls and landscape features. Its key benefit is providing a strong, stable structure that can be easily customized with local stone. A potential caveat is the need for safety precautions during assembly due to sharp edges, and the fact that infill material (stones) is not included. Key features include rustproof galvanised steel construction, a robust mesh design for stability, and modularity for building larger structures.

FAQs
What type of stones should I use to fill the gabion?
You can use various types of stones, rocks, or gravel. The stones should be large enough not to pass through the 10x5 cm or 10x10 cm mesh. Angular stones tend to interlock better for increased stability.
Are the stones included with the gabion wall?
No, the stones or gravel for filling are not included in the delivery. You will need to source these materials separately.
How do I connect multiple gabion baskets together?
You can place the gabion baskets side by side. For a more secure connection, you may need to use additional wire or fastening clips (not included) to link the adjacent baskets firmly.
What is the expected lifespan of the galvanised steel?
Galvanised steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor environments, typically offering a long lifespan when exposed to normal weather conditions.
Can I use this gabion for a garden pond or water feature?
While gabions are stable, they are not designed to be watertight on their own. If used for a pond, you would need to install a pond liner inside the gabion structure to hold water.
What safety precautions should I take during installation?
It is essential to wear safety gloves and sturdy footwear as the metal wires can have sharp edges. Ensure you have a stable, level surface for installation and consider asking for assistance if moving or positioning large, empty baskets.
Troubleshooting
Gabion appears unstable after filling
Ensure the base is level and firm. Check that the gabion is filled evenly and that the infill material is compacted sufficiently. If connecting multiple units, verify they are securely linked.
Metal edges feel excessively sharp during assembly
Always wear thick work gloves and sturdy footwear when handling and assembling the gabion. Proceed with caution and avoid unnecessary contact with edges.
Infill material is spilling out
Ensure the top cover is securely fastened. Check that the stones or gravel used are not too small for the mesh openings. If necessary, use a finer mesh liner inside the gabion before filling.
