Product Information

Full details

This VidaXL Gabion Raised Bed is designed for gardeners and landscapers seeking a durable and stylish solution for creating defined planting areas in gardens or on patios. Its key benefit is providing a strong, stable structure that can be filled with local materials like rocks or gravel, integrating naturally into your landscape. A key caveat is the need for caution during setup due to potentially sharp metal edges. This gabion planter offers a robust, rustproof, and weather-resistant structure made from galvanized steel, featuring welded wires for enhanced stability and a mesh grid.

FAQs

What is the best material to fill the gabion with?

The gabion is designed to be filled with rocks or gravel. The choice of material can affect the aesthetic and structural properties. For a stable structure, use angular stones that interlock well.

Are stones included with the gabion raised bed?

No, stones and plants are not included in the delivery. You will need to source these separately.

What is the purpose of the mesh size (10 x 5 cm)?

The mesh size is designed to contain the filling material (rocks/gravel) while allowing for good drainage and aeration for plant roots if soil is used in conjunction.

Can I cut or modify the gabion?

Modifying the gabion is not recommended as it can compromise its structural integrity. It is designed for use as-is.

What is the wire diameter and why is it important?

The wire diameter is 3.5 mm, which contributes to the gabion's high load capacity and overall durability, ensuring it remains stable under pressure.

How do I ensure the gabion stays in place?

Ensure the gabion is placed on a level surface and is completely filled with dense material like gravel or rocks. Once filled, its weight will anchor it securely.

Troubleshooting

Gabion appears unstable after filling

Ensure the gabion is placed on a level surface and filled evenly. Check that all wire connections are secure.

Rust spots appear on the surface

Minor rust spots may occur over time. For significant corrosion, contact VidaXL customer support. Ensure adequate ventilation if moisture is trapped.

Mesh openings are too large for filling material

Use smaller gravel or rocks, or consider lining the inside with a sturdy geotextile fabric (sold separately) before filling to prevent material loss.
