9 ideas for garden design with gabions

9 Ideen für die Gartengestaltung mit Gabionen

Can stone baskets only be used as fences, walls or privacy screens? Not even close! From raised beds to benches to insect hotels, we have put together creative ideas for using gabions outdoors and indoors.


1. Gabion raised bed

Raised beds made of stone baskets are almost a classic and can be ordered in your desired size in our online shop. They enable back-friendly work, can be used as an ornamental plant or vegetable bed and are absolute eye-catchers in the garden or on the terrace.

2. High pond made of gabions

Our gabion raised beds can be filled with more than just soil and planted. If you insert a plastic tray into the inner basket, you can transform the raised bed into an easy-care raised pond in no time. The outer basket is filled with natural stones as usual.

3. Gabion benches

Stone baskets are ideal bases for garden furniture . Simply order a gabion in the desired size and install a wooden or plastic seat. Regardless of whether it is a single stool, bench or table - garden furniture made from gabions is robust and weather-resistant.

4. Gabion grill

The Barbecue season is opened! Permanently installed barbecue stations in the garden can be built from stone baskets. The grill insert for the charcoal grill can be surrounded by gabions, the gas grill has a cladding made of stone baskets and the fire pit for the swivel grill is securely surrounded by a stone edging.

5. Gabion garbage can boxes

Homeowners know this: garbage cans in the (front) garden are not a pretty sight. With our special garbage can linings, the waste containers simply disappear behind a gabion. The outer walls of the stone baskets can also be covered with plants and greenery - so even the garbage corner becomes an eye-catcher.

6. Gabion insect hotel

Anyone who uses gabion walls and fences as privacy screens or property boundaries can also do something good for the animal world. In addition to the classic natural stones, part of the wire basket can be filled with drilled logs, hollow plant stems, bamboo sticks, pine cones or straw. This creates a new habitat for garden animals.

7. Indoor gabions

Stone baskets can be eye-catchers not only in the garden, but also in the living room, kitchen, etc. Whether used as a flower column, furniture or room divider - gabions are robust design elements. But be careful: Due to the weight, statics and safety must always be checked in advance!

8. Gabion herb spiral

A herb snail makes it possible to grow plants with different location requirements in a space-saving manner and to represent different climate zones in a small space. The gabion herb spiral is available as a finished kit in our online shop. The natural stones used for filling serve both to provide shade and to store heat.

9. Gabion steps

Sometimes small height differences need to be compensated for in the garden or on the terrace. The steps become an eye-catcher when gabions are used for them. To prevent the wire from bending when walked on, the baskets must be filled very tightly with natural stones.
