How to Install a Gabion Basket
Installing gabion baskets is straightforward and does not require specialized tools. Follow these steps:
- Prepare the Panels:
Place the ends, diaphragms, front, and back panels upright on the base section of the wire mesh. - Secure the Panels:
Use spiral binders to screw through the mesh openings, connecting adjacent panels securely. - Add Stiffeners:
Insert stiffeners at each corner, 300mm from the edge, to provide diagonal bracing. Crimp the stiffeners over the line and cross wires on the front and side faces. - Fill the Basket:
Fill the gabion basket with graded stones either by hand or with a shovel. Ensure the stones are tightly packed for stability. - Close the Lid:
Secure the lid using spiral binders, ensuring all panels, diaphragms, and edges are tightly connected. - Stacking Tiers:
When stacking multiple tiers, the lid of the lower basket serves as the base for the upper basket.
