GABIONA

On average, around 1.65 tons of stones are required for one cubic meter of gabions - depending on how carefully they are distributed. In addition, the value depends on the stone density and the gaps, so we cannot accept any liability for the calculated quantity.

The stone size depends on the mesh size and the depth of the basket. The mesh size of 5 x 5 cm is ideal for stones with a grain size of 32-56 mm. Stones for the 5 x 10 cm mesh should have a minimum grain size of 45-125 mm and for the large mesh size of 10 x 10 cm they should be at least 80-120 mm in size. Only small-grain stones are suitable for raised beds or gabions with a depth of 10 cm. The smaller the stone, the easier it is to achieve an even filling result.

Due to the high weight of the finished gabions, the subsoil must be stable. Compacting the subsoil therefore makes sense. However, you don't have to lay a complete foundation. The stone baskets are aligned horizontally. The tipping protection should be concreted in before the gabions are erected. Our recommendation: Place a garden fleece under the gabion so that no grass can grow into the stone basket.

After hanging the spacers, first place pieces of wood over them to protect them from falling stones. You can pull the wooden poles out again as soon as there is a layer of stones on them. You then place large stones into the baskets by hand. Place them as close together as possible and with the flat side towards the viewing surface. If the stones have a smaller grain size, you can pour them into the gabion. To do this, simply use a bucket or a KG pipe. The stones are immediately in the desired place. In addition, the grids are protected from mechanical stress.

We assume no liability for any damage to people or other objects.
