FAQs

What materials can I use to fill the gabion basket?

You can fill the gabion basket with natural materials such as concrete, sandstone, coloured stone, gravel, or rocks. The filling material is not included with the product.

Are the stones included with the gabion basket?

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

What safety precautions should I take during setup?

It is crucial to wear safety shoes and protective gloves when setting up the gabion basket, as the metal wires can be pointed and sharp-edged.

What are the dimensions of this gabion basket?

The dimensions of this gabion basket are H: 50.0 cm x W: 300.0 cm x D: 80.0 cm.

Is this gabion basket suitable for retaining walls?

Yes, when filled appropriately, the gabion basket can be used as a retaining wall to help prevent soil erosion.

How does the arched design benefit the gabion?

The arched design adds to the aesthetic appeal and can contribute to the structural stability when filled with sufficient weight.

How do I assemble the gabion basket?

The gabion basket comes with a manual that provides step-by-step instructions for assembly. It involves connecting the wire panels using the provided hooks and then filling the basket.

Troubleshooting

Gabion basket is unstable or leaning.

Ensure the base is perfectly level before filling. Distribute filling material evenly within the basket. Check that all gabion hooks are securely fastened.

Wire panels do not connect properly.

Verify that the wire panels are aligned correctly according to the manual. Ensure no obstructions are preventing a tight fit before securing with hooks.

Rust appears on the surface.

While galvanised iron is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions might cause minor surface rust. This typically does not compromise structural integrity. For aesthetic concerns, a rust-inhibiting sealant suitable for galvanised metal can be applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have a level area for placement. Unpack all components and consult the provided manual for step-by-step assembly instructions. Use the included strengthened gabion hooks to connect the wire panels tightly. Once assembled, fill the basket evenly with your chosen material (rocks, gravel, concrete, sandstone, or coloured stone). Always wear safety shoes and protective gloves during assembly, as the metal wires can be pointed and sharp-edged.

Compatibility: This gabion basket is compatible with a wide range of filling materials, allowing for customization to match your landscape design. It is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with typical garden environments.

Care: Due to its galvanised iron construction, the gabion basket is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. Minimal care is required. Periodically check that the filling material has not shifted significantly and that the structure remains stable. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
