Product Information
Full details
This 6-metre long gabion wall is designed for homeowners and businesses seeking a durable and versatile solution for landscape design and retaining wall construction. Its key benefit is the robust stability and longevity provided by its galvanised steel construction, offering a long-lasting barrier. A caveat to consider is that stones for filling are not included and must be sourced separately. The gabion features a mesh grid with welded wires, top and bottom covers for securing filling, and rust- and weather-resistance.

FAQs
What type of stones should I use to fill the gabion?
You can use a variety of stones, gravel, or crushed rock. Ensure the size of the aggregate fits through the mesh openings (10 x 5 cm / 30 x 20 cm) and that the material is dense enough to achieve the required stability.
Are stones included with the gabion wall?
No, stones or filling material are not included with the gabion wall. These must be purchased separately.
What is the purpose of the top and bottom covers?
The top and bottom covers are designed to help secure the filling material within the gabion, maintaining its shape and preventing any loose material from escaping.
How do I ensure the gabion wall is stable?
Stability is achieved by placing the gabion on level ground, using appropriately dense filling material (up to 1400 kg/m³), and ensuring the structure is correctly assembled and filled evenly.
Is this gabion suitable for areas with heavy rainfall?
Yes, the galvanised steel is weather-resistant. For use as a retaining wall in areas with heavy rainfall, ensure proper drainage behind the structure to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup.
Can I connect multiple gabion walls together?
While not explicitly stated, gabion walls can often be placed adjacent to each other to create longer or wider structures. Ensure they are properly aligned and secured if connecting.
Troubleshooting
Gabion cage seems unstable after filling
Ensure the gabion is placed on level ground and that the filling material is compacted evenly. Check that all wire intersections are securely welded.
Sharp edges posing a hazard during assembly
Always wear thick protective gloves and safety shoes during the entire setup process. Handle individual mesh panels with care.
Water pooling inside the gabion
Ensure adequate drainage behind the gabion wall if it is being used as a retaining structure. The filling material itself should allow for some water passage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have appropriate safety gear, including safety shoes and protective gloves, as metal wires can have sharp edges.
- Choose a stable and level ground surface for placement.
- Assemble the gabion cage according to the provided instructions.
- Fill the gabion with suitable rocks or gravel. Ensure even distribution for stability.
- Secure the top and bottom covers to contain the filling.
Compatibility:
This gabion is designed to be filled with various types of stones, gravel, or recycled concrete. The mesh size (10 x 5 cm / 30 x 20 cm) accommodates medium to large aggregate. Ensure the chosen filling material is dense enough to meet the 1400 kg/m³ loading capacity requirement.
Care:
Due to its galvanised steel construction, the gabion wall is inherently low-maintenance. Regular visual inspections for any damage or corrosion are recommended. Keep the area around the gabion clear of debris to ensure proper drainage and prevent premature wear.
