FAQs

What kind of stones should I use to fill the gabion?

You can use a variety of natural stones, such as granite, limestone, or river rocks. The stones should be hard, durable, and generally larger than the mesh openings (10x5 cm and 10x10 cm) to prevent them from falling out. Decorative gravel or even recycled materials like bricks can also be used.

How do I assemble the gabion wall?

Assembly involves connecting the pre-formed mesh panels. The exact method will be detailed in the product manual, but typically it involves unfolding the panels and securing them together using the provided clips or wires.

Can this gabion be used as a planter?

Yes, it can be used as a planter. You will need to line the inside with a durable landscape fabric or geotextile to contain the soil and allow for drainage before adding your planting medium.

What is the load capacity of this gabion?

The gabion basket has a high load capacity of 1400 kg/m³.

Is the galvanised steel rustproof?

Yes, the gabion is made of rustproof and weather-resistant galvanised steel, designed for long-term outdoor use.

Do I need any special tools for assembly?

Basic tools may be required depending on the specific connection method, but typically it is designed for straightforward assembly. Check the product manual for a definitive list of required tools.

How deep should I fill the gabion?

The gabion should be filled completely to ensure maximum stability and structural integrity. Fill it evenly until the basket is full.

Troubleshooting

Gabion basket is not holding its shape during filling.

Ensure all mesh connections are securely fastened. Use the provided covers or temporary bracing to maintain shape while filling. Fill evenly, starting from the bottom and working upwards, compacting the fill material slightly as you go.

Filling material is falling through the mesh.

Ensure the filling material is larger than the mesh openings (10x5 cm and 10x10 cm). If using smaller materials, consider lining the inside of the gabion with a heavy-duty landscape fabric before filling.

Gabion appears unstable after filling.

Verify that the gabion is placed on a level and firm base. Ensure it is filled completely and the fill material is adequately compacted. For retaining wall applications, consult professional advice to ensure proper structural support and drainage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly durable and weather-resistant construction.
Provides excellent stability and load-bearing capacity.
Versatile for multiple landscaping and functional uses.
Enhances garden aesthetics and privacy.
Simple assembly process with included aids.

Cons

Requires filling with suitable materials (stones, etc.), which is an additional step and cost.
The long, narrow design may not fit all landscaping plans without careful consideration.
Mesh size may limit the types or sizes of filling materials usable.
Requires assembly and filling, so not an instant solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assemble the gabion basket by connecting the pre-formed sides.
Secure the connections as per the included instructions.
Place the gabion in its desired location.
Begin filling the basket evenly with your chosen material (e.g., stones, gravel, brick rubble).
Use the included covers or temporary supports to maintain the basket's shape as you fill.
Continue filling until the basket is full and stable.

Compatibility:

This gabion wall is compatible with most standard landscaping materials for filling, such as natural stones, decorative gravel, or even reclaimed materials like bricks. It is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with various ground types, provided a stable base is established.

Care:

The galvanised steel is designed for long-term outdoor exposure. Minimal care is required. Periodically check that the filling material remains stable and that the gabion structure is not compromised. Remove any significant debris that may accumulate on the surface. The galvanised coating may degrade over many years of extreme exposure, but generally, it offers excellent longevity.
