FAQs

What type of stones should I use to fill the gabion?

You can use a variety of durable stones like river rocks, granite, or landscaping gravel. Choose stones that are dense and resistant to heat if you plan on frequent grilling.

How much stone is needed to fill the gabion?

The exact amount will depend on the size of your gabion and the type of stone used. It's recommended to purchase slightly more than you estimate to ensure you can fill it completely and evenly.

Can this be used as a permanent fixture?

Yes, the galvanized iron construction is designed for durability and outdoor exposure, making it suitable for permanent placement after proper setup on a stable surface.

Is a grill grate included?

No, a grill grate is not typically included with the VidaXL Gabion Fire Pit. You will need to provide your own compatible grate for grilling.

How do I clean the exterior of the gabion?

You can clean the galvanized iron exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the protective coating.

What are the dimensions of the fire pit?

Please refer to the product's specific dimensions listed in the product details or manual, as sizes can vary by model.

Troubleshooting

Gabion cage appears unstable after filling.

Ensure the gabion is placed on a perfectly level surface. Check that stones are evenly distributed and compacted. If necessary, add more stones to fill any voids.

Rust spots appearing on the surface.

This is rare with galvanized iron but can occur with significant damage to the coating. Clean the area, allow it to dry completely, and apply a rust-inhibiting metal primer followed by a suitable outdoor metal paint.

Difficulty assembling the cage.

Refer to the instruction manual and ensure all parts are correctly aligned before securing them. Some users find it helpful to have a second person assist during assembly, especially when connecting larger sections.
