Full details

FAQs

Does the gabion basket come with rocks?

No, the basket is supplied as a wire frame only. You will need to source your own filling material such as gravel or stones.

Can I use this for a permanent retaining wall?

Yes, it is designed for soil retention and landscaping, but ensure you follow proper foundation preparation based on the height and pressure requirements.

How do I prevent the basket from rusting?

The basket is made from galvanised iron, which is specifically designed to resist rust and corrosion in outdoor environments.

What size stone should I use to fill it?

Stones should be larger than the individual mesh openings to ensure they do not fall out of the cage.

Can the basket be cut to a different size?

It is not recommended, as cutting the wire mesh will compromise the structural integrity and potentially expose the iron to rust.

Troubleshooting

The structure appears to bulge in the middle

Ensure that the internal spacers or tensioning wires are correctly installed during the filling process to keep the walls parallel.

Wire mesh looks slightly uneven

Check that the ground surface is perfectly level before assembly and ensure all clips or connectors are tightened securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High structural stability for soil retention
  • Weather-resistant galvanised coating prevents corrosion
  • Unique arched design provides a decorative focal point
  • Acts as an effective natural sound insulator
  • Heavy-duty 3.5 mm wire ensures long-lasting performance

Cons

  • Requires significant volume of rocks or gravel
  • Heavy weight once filled makes it difficult to relocate
  • Requires manual assembly of the wire mesh panels
  • Does not include filling material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To assemble the gabion basket, clear a level surface to prevent the structure from leaning over time. Ensure the ground is compacted if you are installing the cage for heavy-duty retaining purposes. Once the panels are connected using the included hardware, begin filling the structure evenly to maintain balance. Maintenance is minimal: periodically rinse with water to remove dirt or debris and inspect the wire mesh annually for any signs of surface damage or loose connectors.
