FAQs

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

The size of stones depends on your aesthetic preference and the basket's wire mesh size. Generally, stones larger than the mesh openings are recommended to prevent them from falling out. A mix of sizes can also be used for a more textured look.

Are stones included with the gabion basket purchase?

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

How many gabion baskets are included in this pack?

This product is a 2 Pack, meaning it includes two arched gabion baskets.

Can this gabion basket be used for a tall retaining wall?

While gabion baskets are suitable for retaining walls, the stability for taller structures depends on the ground conditions, the size and type of filling material, and proper engineering. For significant height, consulting a landscaping professional is advised.

How do I connect multiple gabion baskets together?

The strengthened gabion hooks provided are primarily for assembling a single basket. For connecting multiple baskets side-by-side, additional wire or connectors may be needed depending on the desired configuration and stability requirements. Consult the manual or product support for specific guidance on joining units.

What is the gauge of the wire used?

The product description states a sturdy gabion wire diameter of 3.5 mm.

Troubleshooting

Gabion basket is not stable

Ensure the gabion is placed on a level surface and filled evenly with sufficient weight. Double-check that all connecting hooks are securely fastened.

Difficulty assembling wire panels

Refer to the provided manual for detailed assembly steps. Ensure you are using the correct gabion hooks and connecting them according to the instructions.

Wire edges feel sharp during setup

Always wear heavy-duty gloves and safety shoes as recommended. Handle panels with care and avoid unnecessary contact with edges.
