Gabion Basket Installation

[@christopherspringmann]

The veneer or facade approach of putting the finest, most visual stones in front, makes economic and aesthetic sense. Then, filling the unseen middle with construction debris or lower cost common stones.

Great demo Andy, well done. Tidy work.

[@cassidmst]

Thanks for doing the video

[@augustreil]

Those Heli Coil connectors are really cool ! Great video you guys. Thanks.

[@254tom]

Same fundamental as a chainlink fence.

[@kennkid9912]

Could this be adapted to build a concrete-rock foundation/ ,say 6 ft high and one foot thick? These look like cattle panel stock, 1/4 thick galvanized wire@ 6 inch or 4 inch squares .In the US they are 16 feet long. Up to 54 inches high. Rock is cheap here. 14 yards of screening rocks washed $,10-12 per yard, delivered.

What if you have water or drainage problems and slopes? Is it strong enough to hold back the wall?

[@Starjasmin-h6z]

Hi.where do you get your helicoil wirs from ,what are the sizes ? Plz

[@justusalinaitwe6784]

I like what ur doing man

[@johngough566]

I'm a landscape gardener & love the look of this product. Great informative video & I'll be looking to offer this to my customers 🤔 Well done & hopefully I'll be placing a order very soon for a project in my own garden 👍 By the way can I ask where your based ?

Great video, how much good stone fits in 300mm voids in 1x1m baskets, like in the video?

[@chrisbeard3579]

Hi Arunas. A 1m x 1m x 0.3m gabion holds 0.3 cubic metres of stone. Check out our price and design page to view stone options: @t

[@nigelaxon3513]

great video; really helpful and informative

[@mrdespondency6598]

Great, informative video. Lovely summer's day there. Do you need two panels abutting each other? Or rather if you skimp, do you comprimise strength? Are these the 3mm panels on the inside?

[@andybeard1699]

Helicoils are just a quicker way to install the baskets over the lacing wire that's included in the cost. Yes all baskets come with all 6 external sides. We don't supply them with a side missing. We can supply 3mm baskets with a 4mm face panel, saving costs.

[@elltell8644]

Very informative.. if the said wall was 2m high (none retaining) would there need to be strengthening posts inside? Thank you

[@radleysmith7528]

Hope the chirping wasn't putting you off, The dogs were agreement at least

[@AndyBRoberts1]

I need to put in 2 retaining walls to hold back an earth bank and add additional much smaller sides, steps and border edgings. The highest point of the earth to be retained will be 4 feet what would your estimate be on the depth I would require at the base assuming a 2 basket high build. Would digging in the bottom layer make a difference? Finally would you have a view on how this would stack up in terms of costs vis doing the job with posts and railway sleepers? In advance of a response, thanks.

[@andrewbeard6213]

1m deep bottom row. Normally you would dig down and compact a layer of Hardcore for the wall to sit on. please see this page . www.gabionbaskets.co.uk/components/com_finemesh/assets/gabion/C10487-02_revC.pdf Gabion walls last considerably longer than railway sleepers, it depends on where your based and the stone cost. if you can send us an email [e-mail] with your length we can price your job.

[@armandoledesma7684]

I hope any of your guys do that fast. More of the guys will need 2 hours to build one of this

[@Blueberryjoefarms]

Nice job 👍

[@mrdespondency6598]

It looks like this is a promo video, where's the link to your gabion baskets!?

[@mrdespondency6598]

I found it after a video trawl: www.finemeshmetals.co.uk/

[@andybeard1699]

This is the pricing page www.gabionbaskets.co.uk/gabion/gabion-design-and-prices

[@mrdespondency6598]

How many 1m cubes could you stack safely do you think?

[@andybeard1699]

Is this for a freestanding wall? or a retaining wall? If its retaining the standard designs show how deep the baskets should be. I.e for a 2m high wall the bottom row depth is 1.5m. see www.gabionbaskets.co.uk/gabion/gabion-wall-standard-design

[@mrdespondency6598]

@@andybeard1699 thanks for this, I've found other similar charts and formulas to this. Mine is is for a retaining wall. But if free standing what's deemed a safe stack? Hard to believe anything could topple a 3m by 1m rock filled wall! (One has to trust the structural engineers.) I thought as retainers they were ideal, as pressure was less as they are more free draining. But a 2m deep gabion at the base of a 3m wall seems a little excessive! I'm trying to evaluate cheapest option for chalk shoring - which may be rigid, hard to know until the spade comes out! I guess there are cheaper fill options for unseen baskets.

[@andrewbeard6213]

@@mrdespondency6598 We can only give advice on the standard designs. The depth for freestanding depends on the ground stability. Ive known freestanding walls be supported/strengthened by steel posts concreted into the ground within the baskets. We can quote you for whatever size baskets you request.

[@martin30884]

How long will the wire basket last?

[@andrewbeard6213]

Fine Mesh Gabions are European grade A Galfan wire that has a lifespan of 60 years.

[@1212haro]

Do you know the gauge of the helical wire?

[@Andy-d5i]

3mm
