Its key benefit is robust construction providing long-lasting weather resistance and structural integrity. A caveat is that stones or filling material are not included and must be sourced separately.

Place the assembled gabion basket on a firm, level surface. For structural applications like retaining walls, ensure the ground is stable and consider professional advice for foundations.
Ensure all spiral rods are fully tightened. Use the provided spacer hooks at regular intervals during the filling process to maintain tension and shape. Check that the filling material is evenly distributed.
Ensure the grid panels are perfectly aligned before inserting the rods. If a rod is stiff, try gently twisting it back and forth as you push it through the aligned holes.
The mesh size may not be suitable for very small aggregate. Use larger stones or rocks, or consider lining the inside of the basket with a geotextile fabric before filling (ensure this does not obstruct water drainage).
Verify the gabion basket is placed on a firm, level surface. Ensure it is adequately filled to distribute weight evenly. For retaining wall applications, consult with a professional to ensure proper foundation and structural support.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This gabion basket is designed to be filled with a wide range of hard, angular materials such as stones, rocks, or gravel. The size of the filling material should be appropriate for the mesh size to prevent it from falling out. It is compatible with other VidaXL gabion baskets for modular installations.
Care:
Due to its galvanised iron construction, the gabion basket requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check for any loose connections or damage. Ensure the filling material remains stable. In areas with harsh coastal conditions, occasional inspection for any signs of corrosion might be beneficial, though the galvanisation offers significant protection.
