Product Information

The image I have here shows two different foundational support options for a large scale retaining build.

Measure the diameter of your pot and use bolt cutters or an angle grinder to cut a hole on the lid. If you have voles and moles in your garden, you can easily keep them away from your gabion raised bed: After the soil has been removed, simply place a close-meshed wire mesh either under or over the floor grid supplied by HS Gabions before building up the gabions. There are even special plastic barriers to help keep the beds or lawn free of molehills. If the carrots in the gabion raised bed grow above such a grid, they can neither be nibbled on by the mole nor by the vole. Gabions raised bed construction Foundation Preparation: Level the bottom of the trench and compact the soil to create a stable foundation. Install a geotextile fabric at the base to prevent soil erosion if needed. 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.

Frequently asked questions about Gabion stone

For the interior lining, coconut mats can also be laid on the inside of the individual gabion grilles instead of filter fleece: So the earth cannot fall through the coarse grid of the gabions. The coconut mats, which are suitable for the construction of a gabion high bed, have a special lamination on one side that makes them water-repellent. Although the coconut mats usually do not last longer than three to five years, after this time the soil in the raised bed should be rearranged anyway and new material introduced. This is a good opportunity to change the mats right away. Gabion Basket Assembly: Assemble the Gabion baskets according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Gabion Lid Installation: Once the Gabion baskets are filled to the desired height, install the Gabion lid or top panel. Secure the lid with wire fasteners to prevent stone displacement. On top of this there is a layer about 10 - 15 centimetres high made of thin branches, wood chippings and unprinted cardboard, corrugated board or cardboard. Next call your local gas and water companies to come and do a free service locate on your property so that you can prevent damaging any lines when digging. The subsequent layer of 10 - 15 centimetres of manure or coarse compost provides sufficient fertilisation.

Drainage Considerations: Use appropriate drainage measures, such as perforated pipes or drainage aggregates to ensure proper water management.

Normally the gabions are filled with gabion stones. There are so many different types of stone that you can use them to set individual accents in your garden. Gabions filled with broken glass for the raised bed can even be illuminated and turn into coloured islands of light at dusk. With these you can create very sophisticated accents in your garden. If you want to build your gabion raised bed particularly cheaply, you can also fill the grids of the gabions with natural materials such as field stones.
