You can use various types of stones, rocks, or gravel. For structural purposes like retaining walls, dense and angular stones that interlock well are recommended. For decorative purposes, consider stones with uniform size and attractive colours.
No, the delivery includes the gabion basket only. Stones and other filling materials must be purchased separately.
Assembly is designed to be tool-free. Align the wire grids and secure them by twisting the provided spiral rods through the grid loops. Ensure all connections are firm.
Yes, multiple gabion baskets can be combined to create larger structures such as longer retaining walls, privacy screens, or other custom designs.
The empty gabion basket weighs 24.2 kg.
The gabion basket has a load capacity of up to 1800 kg/m³ when properly filled and installed.
The galvanised iron offers good resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to harsh environments like heavy salt spray may eventually affect the coating. Regular inspection is advised.
Ensure the base is level and firm. Check that all spiral rods are securely tightened and that the filling material is evenly distributed, with heavier materials at the bottom.
Verify that spacer hooks are correctly installed and tightened. Ensure the filling material is compacted evenly and that the load capacity is not exceeded. Distribute filling material more densely at the base.
Gently manipulate the wire grids to align the connection points. Ensure no parts are bent or obstructed. If necessary, temporarily use a support to hold panels in place while connecting with spiral rods.
Minor surface rust can occur but typically does not affect structural integrity due to galvanisation. For aesthetic concerns, consult with VidaXL for potential protective coatings suitable for galvanised surfaces, though this is generally not required for function.
Setup:
Compatibility:
The gabion basket is compatible with a wide range of filling materials, including various types of stones, rocks, gravel, crushed concrete, or even recycled materials. It is designed for direct placement on firm, level ground. For retaining wall applications on uneven terrain, ensure the base is adequately prepared and leveled.
Care:
Due to its galvanised iron construction, the gabion basket requires minimal care. Regularly inspect the wire mesh for any signs of damage or corrosion, although its galvanisation provides significant protection. Ensure the filling material remains stable and does not shift excessively, which could compromise the structure. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanised coating.
