Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are Gabions?
A: Gabions are wire mesh cages made from GALFAN-coated steel, designed to be filled with stones or other hard materials for retaining wall or decorative purposes.
Q: What are Gabion Baskets used for?
A: Gabions serve various purposes, from controlling erosion and creating retaining walls to landscaping enhancements like garden seating, tables, or decorations.
Q: How to fill Gabion Baskets?
Filling a gabion basket is a straightforward process:
- Prepare the site by leveling the ground and ensuring a firm foundation
- Assemble the basket according to manufacturer instructions
- Place larger, uniformly shaped stones at corners and edges
- Fill interior with tightly packed stones of mixed sizes
- Periodically shake or tap sides to settle stones and eliminate gaps
- Secure the top as per guidelines
- Inspect regularly and make adjustments as stones settle
Q: How to install Gabion Baskets?
A: Each Gabion arrives as a flat pack kit, including all necessary components for installation. You will need to assemble the wire panels, using the helicoil wires and additional support wires provided.
Q: How to join Gabion Baskets together?
A: You can secure multiple Gabion Baskets together using steel clips or the helical wires. You can secure the steel clips with a pair of pliers.
Q: How to tie Gabion Baskets?
A: Although not standard for every basket, lacing wire can be used to join adjacent baskets as well as being used for extra support between panels either in the corners or from one side to another bracing, this helps prevent bulging when filling the gabion baskets with stone.
Q: How to stop Gabion Baskets from bulging?
A: Gabion baskets may bulge when they're filled unevenly or overly full. To prevent this, ensure an even distribution of materials throughout the basket and don't overfill it.
Q: What stone to use in Gabion Baskets?
A: The choice of stone fill greatly impacts the stability and appearance of the gabion wall. Angular stones are recommended for effective compaction and stability. Avoid rounded stones, which are more suitable for decorative purposes.
Q: What size stone for Gabion Baskets?
A: The size of the stone for Gabion Baskets typically depends on the mesh hole size. With a 80mm x 100mm mesh hole size, larger stones or cobbles are ideal.
Q: How much are Gabion Baskets?
A: The cost of Gabions can vary depending on their size and the specific requirements of your project.
Q: Who Invented Gabion Baskets?
A: Gabion baskets have been in use for centuries, with their earliest use being dated back to Ancient Egypt. In their modern form, their design is credited to Italian engineer Rene Maccaferri.
