FAQs

What size stones should I use to fill the gabion posts?

The mesh size is 10 x 5 cm. It is recommended to use stones or gravel that are larger than the mesh openings to prevent them from falling out. A mix of sizes can also be used for better compaction.

Are the stones included with the gabion posts?

No, stones or gravel are not included in the delivery. You will need to purchase these separately.

What is the wire diameter of the gabion mesh?

The wire diameter is 3.5 mm, which provides a high load capacity and sturdy construction.

Can I use these gabion posts for a retaining wall?

Yes, these gabion basket posts are suitable for creating retaining walls, provided they are installed correctly on a stable base and filled with dense material.

What safety precautions should I take during assembly?

It is essential to wear safety shoes and protective gloves, as the metal wires can be pointed and have sharp edges.

How do I maintain the appearance of the gabion posts?

The iron is rust-proof and weather-proof. Minimal maintenance is required. You can repaint the surface with suitable outdoor metal paint if desired.

What are the exact dimensions of each gabion post?

Each gabion basket post measures 40 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 180 cm in height (L x W x H).

Troubleshooting

Gabion structure feels unstable after filling

Ensure the gabion is placed on a level surface and filled evenly with dense material. Check that all mesh connections are secure and the covers are properly fitted.

Mesh panels are difficult to connect

Ensure you are following the assembly instructions precisely. Sometimes slight adjustments or ensuring all parts are correctly aligned can help. Wear gloves to protect your hands.

Rust appears on the surface over time

While made of rust-proof iron, prolonged exposure to harsh elements might eventually cause surface rust. Clean the affected area and apply an outdoor-appropriate metal paint for protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Carefully unpack all components, being mindful of sharp edges. Wear safety gloves and shoes.
  2. Assemble the gabion basket structure by connecting the mesh panels as per the included instructions.
  3. Position the assembled gabion in its desired location.
  4. Fill the gabion with rocks, gravel, or other suitable materials to the desired level. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for stability.
  5. Secure the top and bottom covers to keep the filling in place.

Compatibility:

These gabion basket posts are designed to be filled with stones, gravel, or other inert, dense materials. They are compatible with most standard garden landscaping fillers. They can be integrated with other fencing or landscaping materials.

Care:

Given the iron construction, these gabion baskets are designed to be weather-proof. Minimal care is required. Periodically inspect for any signs of damage or instability. If the silver finish shows signs of wear over time, it can be touched up with appropriate metal paint suitable for outdoor use.
