FAQs

What is the purpose of a gabion basket?

A gabion basket is used to create strong, stylish borders, retaining walls, or decorative features in outdoor spaces. It is filled with materials like stones to provide structure and aesthetic appeal.

What materials are needed for installation besides the gabion basket?

Installation aids such as posts, screw flanges, hooks, and concrete for mounting are required but are not included. You will also need to supply the filling material (stones, etc.), which is also not included.

What safety precautions should be taken during installation?

Always wear safety shoes and protective gloves. Be aware that metal wires can be pointed and sharp-edged. Assess hazards and take protective measures before installation. Professional installation is strongly recommended.

Can I install this gabion myself?

Due to the significant weight and potential hazards involved, professional installation by a specialist, certified engineer, or competent installation company is strongly advised. If you choose to self-install, ensure you have the necessary knowledge and follow all safety guidelines meticulously.

What is the recommended filling material for this gabion?

You can fill the gabion with various natural materials such as concrete, sandstone, colored stone, gravel, or crushed stone. The choice depends on the desired aesthetic and structural requirements.

How does the gabion maintain its shape when filled?

The gabion is constructed with a sturdy wire diameter (3.5 mm) and includes strengthened gabion hooks that tightly connect the opposing wire panels, helping it retain its shape under load.

What are the dimensions of this gabion basket?

The dimensions are 70.0 cm in width, 70.0 cm in depth, and 65.0 cm in height (W:70.0 x D:70.0 x H:65.0 cm).

Troubleshooting

Gabion panels do not align correctly during assembly.

Ensure all panels are laid out flat before attempting to connect them. Check that the strengthened hooks are properly inserted and tightened according to the manual.

Gabion appears unstable after filling.

This indicates an improper installation. The gabion must be securely fastened to the ground. Consult the installation manual and consider professional assistance for re-securing. Ensure the surface is stable.

Sharp edges are exposed after filling.

While some edges may be present, ensure all connecting points are secure. Wear protective gloves when handling and during installation to avoid cuts.
