FAQs

What size stones should I use to fill the gabion basket?

The mesh size is 5 x 10 cm. It's recommended to use stones that are larger than 10 cm in at least one dimension to prevent them from falling through the mesh.

Are stones included with the gabion basket?

No, stones or other filling materials are not included. You will need to purchase these separately.

What is the main purpose of this gabion basket?

It is designed primarily as a decorative garden barrier that also offers sound and wind insulation.

How do I ensure the gabion basket is stable?

Ensure it is placed on a level surface and filled completely and evenly with dense material like rocks or gravel. For taller installations, consider anchoring it.

What does 'galvanised iron' mean for durability?

Galvanised iron is iron or steel coated with a layer of zinc. This coating protects the metal from rust and corrosion, making it highly durable for outdoor use.

Can this gabion be used as a retaining wall?

Yes, when filled appropriately and placed on a stable base, it can function as a low retaining wall. For significant height or load-bearing requirements, consult with a landscaping professional.

Troubleshooting

Gabion basket is not holding its shape.

Ensure all connecting hooks are securely fastened. Check if the base is level and the filling is distributed evenly throughout the basket.

Mesh appears to be sagging.

The basket may not be sufficiently filled. Add more stones, ensuring they are packed tightly and evenly distributed from bottom to top.

Difficulty connecting wire panels.

Ensure the panels are aligned correctly. You may need to gently flex the wires to align the connection points. Wear gloves during this process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Safety First: Always wear safety shoes and protective gloves due to sharp metal edges.

  3. Position: Place the assembled gabion basket in its intended location. Ensure the ground is level.
  4. Fill: Carefully fill the basket with your chosen stones or gravel. Distribute the weight evenly.
  5. Secure (Optional): For taller structures, consider securing the gabion to the ground for added stability, especially in areas prone to strong winds.
