FAQs
What type of material should I use to fill the gabion basket?
The gabion basket is designed to be filled with rocks or gravel. Angular stones that interlock well provide the best stability. Ensure the filling material is dense and evenly distributed.
Are stones included with the gabion wall?
No, stones or gravel are not included in the delivery. These must be sourced separately.
How do I connect multiple gabion baskets together?
Multiple gabion baskets can be placed side by side. Secure connections can be made using wire or specific gabion connecting clips (not included) to ensure a continuous, stable wall.
What is the recommended method for assembly?
Assemble the frame first, place it in position, then fill it with rocks or gravel. Finally, attach the lid. Always wear protective gear due to sharp edges.
What is the load capacity of this gabion wall?
The gabion wall has a high load capacity of 1400 kg/m³.
Is the galvanised steel treated to prevent rust?
Yes, the gabion is made of galvanised steel, which is inherently rustproof and weather-resistant, ensuring durability in outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gabion basket appears unstable after filling.
Ensure the gabion is placed on a level and compacted surface. Verify that the filling material is evenly distributed and densely packed. Check if adjacent gabions are securely connected if used in a series.
Mesh wire edges are sharp during assembly.
Always wear thick protective gloves and safety shoes during setup and handling. Be cautious when manipulating the mesh panels.
Gabion structure is deforming.
Confirm the gabion is filled to its capacity with appropriate, angular stones. Check if the wire mesh has been damaged or if the internal cross-wires are properly secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
