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 filled gabions, the subsoil must be able to bear the load. Compacting the subsoil is therefore a good idea. However, you do not need to lay a complete foundation. The stone baskets are aligned horizontally. The anti-tilt device should be concreted in before the gabions are erected. Our recommendation: simply lay 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 stones falling down. You can pull the wooden poles out again as soon as a layer of stones is on them. Then place large stones into the baskets by hand. Place them as close together as possible and with the flat side facing the viewing surface. If the stones have a smaller grain size, you can pour them into the gabion. Simply use a bucket or a KG pipe for this. The stones are immediately in the desired place. The grids are also protected from mechanical stress.
