Full details

This VidaXL Gabion Raised Bed is designed for gardeners and landscapers looking to create durable, stylish borders for flower or plant beds. Its primary benefit is offering a robust and weather-resistant structure that enhances garden aesthetics.

Key features include its rustproof and weather-resistant material, high load capacity, and a mesh size suitable for various filling materials.

FAQs

What material is the gabion made of?

The gabion is made of galvanised steel, which is rustproof and weather-resistant.

Do I need to buy stones or gravel separately?

Yes, stones and gravel are not included with the gabion raised bed and must be purchased separately.

What are the outer dimensions of the gabion?

The outer dimensions are 450 cm in length, 30 cm in width, and 10 cm in height (450 x 30 x 10 cm).

What is the mesh size of the gabion?

The mesh size is 10 x 5 cm (Length x Width).

Is it safe to assemble without gloves?

No, it is not safe. The metal wires can be pointed and sharp-edged, so safety shoes and protective gloves must be worn during setup.

Can I use this gabion for planting directly?

This gabion is designed to be filled with rocks or gravel. For planting directly, you may need to consider an inner liner to prevent soil loss and protect the plants.

What is the wire diameter?

The wire diameter is 3.5 mm.

Troubleshooting

Gabion appears unstable after filling

Ensure the ground surface is level and firm. Check that the filling material is evenly distributed and compacted to provide maximum support. Consider adding more filling material if necessary.

Wire edges feel sharp during handling

Always wear heavy-duty protective gloves and safety shoes during setup and filling as indicated in the safety warning.

Rust appears on the surface

While made of galvanised steel, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or damage to the coating can cause minor surface rust. This is generally superficial and does not compromise structural integrity significantly. Ensure the protective coating is intact where possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions:

  1. Safety First: Attention! Metal wires can be pointed and sharp-edged. Wear safety shoes and protective gloves when setting up.
  2. Choose Location: Select a level area in your garden or patio where you intend to place the raised bed.
  3. Position Gabion: Place the empty gabion in the desired location.
  4. Fill Gabion: Carefully fill the gabion with stones, gravel, or other suitable materials. Distribute the filling evenly to maintain structural integrity.
  5. Secure: Ensure the gabion is stable and level after filling. No additional securing is typically required if placed on a flat surface, but consider your specific landscaping needs.

Compatibility:

  • This gabion is designed to be filled with inorganic materials such as rocks, gravel, or stones. It is not suitable for direct soil filling without an inner liner (sold separately or created DIY).
  • The dimensions (450 x 30 x 10 cm) make it compatible with most garden and patio spaces.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically check for any loose wires or signs of damage, though the galvanised steel is highly resistant to corrosion.
  • Maintenance: No specific maintenance is required beyond occasional cleaning.
