The vidaXL Gabion Raised Bed is an ideal solution for gardeners looking to add a structural, industrial-modern aesthetic to their landscape while creating a defined space for plants or flowers. It is best suited for homeowners who want a durable, weather-resistant border that can withstand heavy fillings like rocks or gravel; however, users should note that the product requires manual assembly and the necessary stones or plant filling materials are not included in the package.

No, the gabion basket is shipped as an empty steel structure. You will need to source your own rocks or gravel.
It is recommended to place the gabion on a level, solid surface like compacted sand or stone to prevent it from sinking over time.
The wall thickness of the gabion structure is 10 cm.
The steel is galvanised to be rustproof and weather-resistant, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.
The mesh grid size is 10 x 5 cm, which is suitable for standard garden rocks.
Due to the weight of the rocks or gravel required for the structure, it is considered a permanent installation and is not designed to be moved once filled.
Ensure that the internal tie wires (if included) are properly spaced and tightened to maintain the wall's structural tension.
While galvanised steel is rustproof, minor surface scratches can occur. Use a cold galvanising spray or touch-up paint specifically designed for steel to protect the exposed area.
Setting up the gabion planter requires basic manual assembly by connecting the side panels. Ensure the unit is placed on a solid, flat foundation to prevent uneven settling. Because the steel is galvanised, it is inherently weather-resistant, though it is recommended to keep the area clear of excessive debris that could trap moisture against the steel. If you live in an area with extremely high salt exposure or high acidity, checking the wire joints annually for any signs of damage is advised. When filling, start by adding larger stones at the base to stabilize the structure before layering smaller gravel toward the top.
