FAQs

What materials can I use to fill the gabion basket?

You can use a variety of materials such as stones, rocks, gravel, or even broken concrete and bricks. Choose materials that are durable and complement your garden's aesthetic.

Do I need special tools to assemble the gabion basket?

No, the gabion basket is designed for tool-free assembly. You only need to align the grids and twist the spiral rods to secure them.

How many baskets do I need for a retaining wall?

The number of baskets needed depends on the desired height and length of your retaining wall, as well as the stability requirements of the slope. It is recommended to combine multiple baskets for larger structures.

Are stones included with the gabion basket?

No, the delivery includes the gabion basket and its accessories only. Stones or other filling materials are not included and must be purchased separately.

How stable is the gabion basket?

The gabion basket is designed to be stable, especially when filled with dense materials like rocks and stones. The included spacer hooks further enhance its structural integrity.

Can I paint or modify the gabion basket?

While the galvanised finish is durable, you can paint it with appropriate metal paint for aesthetics. Avoid modifications that could compromise its structural integrity.

What is the weight of the empty gabion basket?

The empty gabion basket weighs approximately 24.2 kg.

Troubleshooting

Basket panels not aligning properly

Ensure the basket is on a flat surface and gently adjust the panels before inserting spiral rods. Check for any bends in the wire.

Spiral rods are difficult to twist

Ensure the rods are fully inserted into the grid openings. Try wiggling the rod slightly as you twist. If a rod is bent, use a replacement if provided.

Basket loses shape after filling

Verify that all spacer hooks have been correctly installed and that the spiral rods are tightened securely. Ensure the filling material is evenly distributed.

Surface shows signs of rust

Minor rust spots can be cleaned and treated with a rust-inhibiting paint suitable for galvanized metal. Significant corrosion may indicate the need for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

  2. Align the adjacent grids of the gabion basket.
  3. Insert the spiral rods through the aligned grids.
  4. Twist the spiral rods to securely connect and form the basket shape.
  5. Use the provided spacer hooks to connect the wire panels for added stability.
  6. Place the gabion basket in its desired location and begin filling with stones, rocks, or gravel.

Compatibility:

This gabion basket is compatible with a wide range of filling materials, including various types of stones, rocks, gravel, and even recycled materials. It can be combined with other gabion baskets to create larger structures.

Care:

As the gabion basket is made from galvanised iron, it is inherently rust-resistant. Regular visual inspection for any signs of damage or corrosion is recommended. Keep the area around the gabion clear of debris to ensure proper drainage and prevent prolonged moisture exposure. The included cover should be used to protect the filling material from excessive rain or debris when appropriate.
