FAQs

What kind of stones should I use?

You can use various types of stones, such as river rocks, granite, or crushed stone. The size should be appropriate for the mesh size to prevent them from falling through. A general recommendation would be to use stones larger than the mesh openings (5x10cm).

Are the stones included with the gabion basket?

No, stones are not included. You will need to purchase the stones separately.

How do I clean the gabion basket?

Cleaning is generally not required. However, you can remove any debris or leaves that may accumulate around or inside the basket.

What is the lifespan of the gabion basket?

The lifespan depends on environmental factors. The galvanised steel construction is designed for long-term use and weather resistance.

Can I paint the gabion basket?

It is not recommended to paint the gabion basket, as it may compromise the galvanization and durability of the steel.

Is the gabion basket easy to move after filling?

Once filled with stones, the gabion basket is very heavy and difficult to move. Plan your project location carefully before filling.

What tools do I need to assemble the gabion basket?

You will typically only need basic tools like gloves, safety glasses, and potentially wire cutters if any adjustments are needed.

Troubleshooting

The basket is unstable after filling.

Ensure the fill material is evenly distributed and the basket is placed on a level surface. Consider using larger stones at the base for added stability.

The mesh grid is damaged.

Inspect the damaged area and consider repairing it. Replace any severely damaged sections to maintain structural integrity.

Difficulty in filling the basket.

Use a funnel or a smaller container to help with filling. Ensure the rocks or gravel are the correct size to prevent them from spilling.
