Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure you have a level surface where the gabion will be placed.
- Carefully unpack all components, being mindful of sharp edges. It is highly recommended to wear safety shoes and protective gloves during assembly.
- Assemble the steel wire cage according to the provided instructions. The wires are welded at each intersection for stability.
- Once assembled, fill the gabion with your chosen material, such as rocks, gravel, or crushed stone. Distribute the filler evenly to maintain structural integrity.
- Add soil and plants as desired.
Compatibility:
This gabion is designed primarily for use as a raised garden bed or border. It is compatible with various filling materials like rocks, gravel, and recycled materials. Ensure the chosen filler is suitable for drainage and doesn't compromise the structural integrity.
Care:
Given its rustproof steel wire construction, minimal care is typically required. Periodically check the gabion for any signs of damage or corrosion, especially around welds. Keep the area around the base clear of debris to ensure proper drainage. If any rust spots appear over time, they can often be treated with appropriate metal sealant, though this is rarely necessary with quality steel wire.
