FAQs

What materials should I use to fill the gabion?

The gabion is designed to be filled with rocks, gravel, or crushed stone. The size of the filling material should be larger than the mesh openings (approx. 10 x 5 cm) to prevent it from falling out.

Are the stones or gravel included with the gabion basket?

No, stones or gravel are not included in the delivery. These must be purchased separately.

Can I install this gabion myself?

While the assembly of the basket is straightforward, the installation of a filled gabion can be dangerous due to its weight. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure safety and stability.

What additional items do I need for installation?

You will need assembly and installation aids such as posts, screw flanges, hooks, and concrete for mounting, which are not included in the delivery. Refer to the installation manual for specific requirements.

How do I ensure the gabion is safe and stable?

The gabion must be set up on a sufficiently stable surface and installed in accordance with the installation instructions. Professional installation is key, and fasteners may be required depending on the use case.

What are the dimensions of this gabion basket?

The dimensions are approximately 100 cm in height, 50 cm in length, and 30 cm in width (H x L x W).

What is the weight capacity of this gabion?

The gabion has a loading capacity of 1400 kg/m³ when filled.

Troubleshooting

Gabion appears unstable after filling

Ensure the gabion was installed on a level and stable surface. Verify that it has been properly secured to the ground according to the installation manual, especially if used as a retaining wall. Consult a professional if instability persists.

Mesh wires seem sharp or have sharp edges

Handle with heavy-duty protective gloves at all times. Be cautious during assembly and installation. Report any significant defects in the mesh to the manufacturer or seller.

Fillings are not staying in place

Ensure the gabion's top and bottom covers are properly sealed after filling. Check that the mesh size is appropriate for the chosen filling material; smaller materials may escape through larger gaps.

Difficulty in assembly

Review the provided assembly manual carefully. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned before securing them. If issues persist, consider professional installation assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly of the gabion basket itself is designed to be easy. However, due to the significant weight once filled and the potential hazards, installation must be carried out by professionals. Ensure the gabion is positioned on a sufficiently stable surface. Depending on the application, it may need to be secured to the ground using methods like embedding the bottom in concrete or using posts and hooks as per the manual. Always wear safety shoes and protective gloves during setup. Read the instructions carefully and retain the manual for future reference.

Compatibility: This gabion basket is designed to be filled with various materials such as rocks, gravel, or crushed stone. It can be combined with other VidaXL gabion models to create larger structures.

Care: The galvanized steel construction is inherently low maintenance. Periodically check the gabion for any signs of damage or instability, especially after extreme weather events. Ensure the fillings remain secure. No specific cleaning is typically required, as the natural materials it contains and its outdoor placement usually suffice. Avoid pressure washing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanized coating.
