The VidaXL Arched Gabion Basket is an ideal choice for homeowners and landscapers looking to construct durable, modern garden barriers, retaining walls, or sound-insulating features. Crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant galvanised iron, these baskets offer exceptional structural integrity and an aesthetic industrial appeal. While they provide excellent stability for landscape projects, note that the kit requires a significant amount of manual labor to fill and secure, and the rocks or gravel required for the fill are not included.

No, the baskets are supplied as empty wire frames only. Stones or gravel must be sourced separately.
These baskets are constructed with a 3.5mm wire diameter for maximum strength.
It is generally not recommended to cut the panels as this compromises the structural integrity and protective galvanised coating.
Yes, they should be placed on a level, compacted surface such as a concrete pad or a well-drained bed of gravel.
Choose stone sizes that are at least 20-30% larger than the mesh opening of the basket.
While they are corrosion-resistant, saltwater spray can accelerate wear. It is advised to rinse them periodically with fresh water in coastal areas.
Use internal bracing wires or additional tension rods to hold the opposing faces together before filling to the top.
While the iron is corrosion-resistant, scratches can occur during assembly. Apply a cold-galvanizing spray or touch-up paint to any exposed metal areas.
Remove the basket, compact the sub-base, and install a layer of crushed stone or a geotextile fabric to provide a stable, load-bearing foundation.
To install, clear a flat area where the gabion will sit and ensure the ground is stable enough to support the weight of the filled stones. Assemble the iron wire panels according to the instructions provided, ensuring all clips or fasteners are tightly secured. Once in place, fill the baskets layer by layer, periodically checking for bulging or uneven wire distribution.
For maintenance, the galvanised iron is low-care; however, an occasional rinse with a garden hose can remove dust and debris. If you notice any organic growth, such as moss or algae on the stone, use a stiff brush and water to clear it. Regularly inspect the fasteners to ensure they remain taut as the stone settles within the frame.
