FAQs
Are stones included with the purchase?
No, the stones, gravel, or other filling materials must be purchased separately.
Can I leave this outside year-round?
Yes, the galvanised iron is designed to be corrosion-resistant and withstand various weather conditions.
How do I prevent the basket from rusting?
The basket is already treated with a galvanised finish that offers excellent protection against rust in normal outdoor environments.
What is the wire diameter of the basket?
The wire diameter is 3.5mm, providing robust support for heavy materials.
Do I need special tools for assembly?
Standard tools are generally sufficient, but we highly recommend wearing protective gloves to handle the wire panels safely.
Troubleshooting
The cage sides are bulging outward
Ensure all provided gabion hooks are installed correctly between the opposing panels to reinforce the width.
The basket feels unstable on the ground
Check that the foundation is level; if not, use a thin layer of sand or compact stone dust to create a stable base before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Choose a level, firm surface to prevent the basket from settling unevenly once filled.
Assembly: Connect the panels according to the manual provided, ensuring every gabion hook is securely fastened to keep the arch shape uniform.
Safety: Always wear heavy-duty work gloves during assembly to protect against sharp wire ends inherent in galvanised metal mesh.
Care: Inspect the wire periodically for any debris buildup. The galvanised finish generally requires no maintenance, but a quick rinse with a hose can help keep the stone surfaces looking clean.
