Product Information
Full details
The Woodside Gabion Basket Garden Mesh Wire Cage is an ideal solution for DIY landscapers and home gardeners looking to build durable, aesthetic outdoor features like retaining walls, raised beds, or custom seating. Constructed from heavy-duty 3mm hot-dip galvanised steel, this cage offers exceptional weather resistance and structural stability for your rock or aggregate fills; however, users should note that the basket requires a steady, level base to ensure long-term integrity once filled with heavy materials.

FAQs
Does this kit come with the filling stones?
No, the kit includes the mesh panels and cable ties only. Rocks and aggregates must be sourced separately.
Can I use these for a garden pond?
Yes, they are suitable for pond edges or structural surrounds, provided the wire is not in constant contact with highly acidic water.
What is the maximum weight this cage can hold?
The structure is designed to hold the weight of standard garden rocks and aggregates when properly secured, but it is not intended for heavy industrial load-bearing.
Do I need to cement the baskets to the ground?
While not strictly required, burying the bottom few centimeters or placing them on a level stone base is recommended for permanent installations.
Can the baskets be stacked?
Yes, you can stack them to create walls, provided you ensure they are properly aligned and secured together to prevent shifting.
Troubleshooting
Basket sides bowing outward when filling
Ensure that internal cross-ties or extra cable ties are used to link opposing panels, preventing the wire from bulging under the weight of the rocks.
Structure appears unstable or leaning
The ground foundation is likely uneven. Remove the contents, re-level the base with packed gravel or sand, and reinstall the cage.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble, align the mesh panels according to your desired shape and twist the edges together. Once the perimeter is connected, use the included cable ties to secure the corners and middle sections for maximum load-bearing strength. Before filling, verify that the site is level. While the hot-dip galvanised finish is highly durable, you can maintain its appearance by periodically rinsing off mud or debris with a standard garden hose. If you live in a coastal area with high salt exposure, a light coat of exterior-grade metal protectant can extend the life of the wire finish.
