Full details
The Woodside Gabion Basket pack is designed for homeowners and landscapers seeking a durable, modular solution for creating garden retaining walls, raised beds, and decorative accents. These 30cm cubes provide exceptional structural integrity through hot-dipped galvanised steel, making them a long-lasting addition to any outdoor space. While they offer excellent versatility for custom garden designs, users should note that the stones or aggregates used for filling must be sourced separately and the baskets require manual assembly.

FAQs
Can these baskets be used for water features?
Yes, their galvanised coating is weather-resistant, making them suitable for use around garden ponds or damp areas.
What type of stone should I use?
Use angular or rounded stones larger than 50mm to ensure they do not fall through the mesh gaps.
Can I stack the baskets on top of each other?
Yes, they are designed to be modular. Ensure they are aligned correctly and secured together with heavy-duty wire or ties.
Do I need special tools for assembly?
No, the baskets utilize a manual twist-together system that requires no specialist tools.
How long will the galvanised steel last?
The hot dip galvanised coating is highly resistant to corrosion, though longevity depends on environmental conditions like exposure to salt or moisture.
Troubleshooting
The basket panels are bulging after filling.
Ensure all provided cable ties are used at regular intervals along the connecting edges to reinforce the frame.
The basket feels unstable on the ground.
Check that the ground underneath is level. If the soil is loose, use a layer of compacted gravel base underneath the basket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Clear the ground of debris and level the surface to prevent the basket from leaning.
- Assembly: Unfold the panels and use the integrated twist-together mechanism to connect the corners. Ensure all tabs are fully secured.
- Placement: Move the empty baskets to their final location before filling, as they become extremely heavy once loaded with stone.
- Filling: Distribute stones evenly and periodically check the basket shape to ensure the wire mesh does not bulge.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the cable ties after initial settling and check the galvanised wire for any debris buildup. If the area is prone to high salt or acidic soil, a periodic rinse with a garden hose can help maintain the finish.
