FAQs
Are the stones included with the pack?
No, the stones, rocks, or aggregates must be purchased separately based on your specific aesthetic or structural needs.
Can these be stacked?
Yes, they can be stacked for higher walls, provided they are placed on a firm, level foundation and securely wired together.
How long will the baskets last outside?
The hot-dip galvanized steel is designed for year-round outdoor use and is highly resistant to rust and environmental wear.
What size stone should I use?
The 50 x 50mm mesh is best suited for stones larger than 50mm in diameter to ensure they do not fall out of the gaps.
Are these suitable for seating areas?
Yes, if filled correctly and topped with a flat surface like timber or concrete, they make excellent, durable garden seating bases.
Troubleshooting
Basket sides bowing or bulging
Ensure internal tension is maintained by using all provided cable ties and ensure the filling material is distributed evenly.
Difficulty assembling twist connectors
Ensure the panels are perfectly aligned on a flat surface and use pliers to assist in securing the wire twists if necessary.
Structure feels unstable
Verify that the base is sitting on level, compacted soil or a concrete pad; unstable ground leads to shifting baskets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation begins by clearing a level foundation site. Simply unfold the panels and connect them using the integrated twist-together mechanism. Once the shape is formed and the base is secure, add the stones systematically. Use the provided cable ties at regular intervals to maintain the basket shape and prevent the sides from bulging under the weight of the rocks. For care, keep the mesh free from climbing weeds that might overgrow and place stress on the structure. Regularly inspect the cable ties every few months, especially after extreme wind or rain, to ensure the structural integrity remains intact.
