Product Information

By using opposing pressure I was able to get a much nicer looking bend in my box. I had Eric stand on the 2 x 4 while I applied pressure with my foot at the base of the bend. We cut 14-16″ cross wire, long enough to wrap around the rebar a few times before connecting it to either side of the basket.

Gabions are baskets made of a corrosion-protected metal. If they are filled with earth, pebbles or stones, they become a solid wall, which is used especially in road construction or landscaping to safely fasten slopes (For all information on building a gabion wall, please refer to our guide article Building a gabion wall). As long as the gabions are not yet filled, they are light and can be placed where they are needed without the use of machines. Depending on which material you choose to fill your gabions with, you can create very different effects in your garden. These can not only be filled with stones in different colours and shades, but also with glass fragments. Since all shapes can be formed with gabion baskets, triangular raised beds with gabions, square raised beds with gabions, round raised beds with gabions and spiral raised beds with gabions are all possible. Especially if you build your own gabions raised bed, you can become really creative in your garden design. Filling of gabions For effective erosion control, Gabion walls are a barrier against erosive forces, such as water currents, to prevent soil erosion. The stone-filled Gabions allow water to pass through while holding the soil in place, reducing the impact of flowing water.

With my outline/blueprint in hand we measured out the dimensions and used a red sharpie to mark our outline and make our cuts. I did not have to use this method for my own build because we had a pre-existing cement slab from the demolition of the old garden bed. We were able to tie our rebar pieces into the cement slab.Placement and Alignment: Position the Gabion baskets in the trench, aligning them with the string lines. Place the baskets end to end, ensuring a tight fit between adjacent baskets. Fasten the adjacent baskets together using wire fasteners or hog rings. Gabion wall stability guidelines. (n.d.).
