The vidaXL Arched Gabion Basket 2 Pack is an ideal solution for homeowners and landscapers looking to create structured garden borders, decorative accents, or functional sound barriers. Crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant galvanised iron, these baskets offer a robust and stylish way to contain stones or gravel for a professional landscape look. While these units provide exceptional durability, potential users should note that they require manual filling and assembly, making them a labor-intensive project for larger garden installations.

You can use any decorative stone, granite, gravel, or river rock. Ensure the stones are larger than the mesh openings to prevent them from falling through.
While the weight of the rocks provides significant stability, you may choose to use ground anchors for added security in high-wind areas.
The arched design is intended for singular installation. Stacking is not recommended unless you have a professional-grade structural plan.
Galvanised iron is designed for long-term outdoor use and can last for many years, depending on your local climate and salt exposure.
Typically, the kit includes the necessary connectors for the wire panels, but you will need basic hand tools and a level for the installation process.
Check that all wire connections are fully locked and ensure the base is placed on a completely level surface or compacted substrate.
While galvanised iron is rust-resistant, inspect for scratches in the finish caused by sharp rocks during filling; touch up affected areas with a cold-galvanising spray.
Installation involves connecting the wire panels and securing them to form the arched shape before filling. It is highly recommended to use a spirit level during setup to ensure the structure remains plumb. Once installed, these baskets require very little maintenance due to their galvanised finish. Periodically check that no stones have shifted to expose wire edges, and clear away debris or vines that may accumulate in the mesh over time. No additional weatherproofing or painting is required.
