FAQs
Are the stones included with the purchase?
No, stones or filling materials must be purchased separately.
Can I use these to build a wall taller than 197 cm?
Yes, the modular design allows you to place them side by side; however, if stacking vertically, ensure proper structural stabilization.
What type of rock is recommended?
Hard, non-friable rocks like granite, basalt, or river stones that are larger than the 12.5 x 5.5 cm mesh size are recommended.
Does the steel rust over time?
The baskets are made from galvanized steel, which is rust-resistant and built to withstand outdoor weather conditions for many years.
Do I need special tools to assemble them?
No special power tools are usually required, but heavy-duty gloves and safety footwear are essential for your protection.
Troubleshooting
The basket looks unstable after filling
Ensure the basket is sitting on a perfectly level, compacted surface and check that all wire intersections are securely joined.
Rust appearing at the cut ends of the wire
Apply a touch-up of zinc-based galvanized paint to any exposed metal areas to seal them from moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly involves setting the empty frames in your desired location and securing them according to the provided instructions before filling. Due to the weight, ensure your ground is level and compacted before installation. Safety Warning: Always wear thick work gloves and safety shoes during assembly to protect against the sharp metal edges of the mesh. For care, these baskets require minimal maintenance; occasionally clear away debris or weeds that may accumulate between the rocks. If the galvanization is scratched, consider applying a zinc-rich spray paint to prevent localized rust.
