FAQs
Does the basket come with stones included?
No, the stones or aggregates for filling the basket must be purchased separately.
Can I stack these baskets to make a taller wall?
Yes, you can stack the baskets, but ensure the base is stable and level, and consider additional anchoring if the stack exceeds two units high.
How do I ensure the basket doesn't rust?
The product is hot-dip galvanised, which provides a high level of protection against corrosion. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc coating.
What is the weight capacity of this gabion basket?
While there is no specific weight limit, the 3mm steel wire is designed to support the weight of typical landscape stones and standard garden aggregates.
Are tools required for the assembly?
No, the basket features a tool-free design using a twist-together panel system.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears to bow or bulge after filling
Ensure that the stones are packed evenly and that additional support ties are used at the mid-point of the panels.
Panels are difficult to twist together during assembly
Check that the panels are perfectly aligned at the corners; ensure no debris is stuck in the locking mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resistant to rust and weathering
- No specialized tools required for assembly
- Heavy-duty steel construction for structural integrity
- Easy to fill with standard garden stones or gravel
Cons
- Filling materials (stones/aggregates) must be purchased separately
- Single size option of 45x45x45cm may limit design flexibility
- Requires manual labor to fill the cage uniformly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble, unfold the panels and utilize the twist-together mechanism to connect the corners. Once the frame is upright, use the provided cable ties to reinforce every connection point, ensuring the structure can bear the weight of the stone fill.
Care Instructions:
- Periodically inspect cable ties after heavy storms and replace if necessary.
- Ensure the base remains clear of debris to prevent pooling water.
- If surface white rust appears, it is a normal oxidation process for galvanised steel and does not affect the structural integrity of the 3mm wire.
