Small or large baskets?

Gabion baskets can come in a range of sizes since they're built from a combination of steel wire mesh panels and spiral winder joiners. This gives you a wide variety of flexibility when it comes to finalising on the size basket you need.

There are a number of challenges when using large gabions. Here's some considerations:

Smaller gabion baskets are more manoeuvrable

The most common form of delivery for all gabion baskets is flat packed on a wooden pallet (see below). The gabions are constructed into their finished shape onsite in situ when ready for filling. You would never build the basket and fill with rock and try to move into position - the basket will be very heavy and not possible to move by hand. The installer building the retaining wall will physically take the steel mesh pieces from the pallet and erect into a basket form and place in it’s final resting position (in retaining wall).

To find out what you get with your gabion basket flatpack

When you consider this, moving steel mesh sheets of mm x 500mm in size are far easier to handle by one person than sheets of mm x mm. Gabion baskets made up of wire mesh panels of mm x mm in size is about the maximum size that can be handled by 1 person. Panels of a larger size will require more people (at least 2) to put together. Refer to the demo video to see an example of a mm x 500mm basket being put together.

Smaller gabions are easier to fill

Smaller gabion walls (or larger gabion walls built in stages of smaller sections) allow you to physically reach the bottom of the basket. This is very helpful when you're trying to place the rock filling. If you're trying to reach down from a 1m high basket or even worse, get a wheelbarrow up high to tip rock in, you're going to struggle.

For gabions placed on the ground, you can simply wheelbarrow your rock filling directly into the top of the basket then attach the lid mesh. You do not require any loaders or bobcat’s to scoop the rock and fill the basket from an unmanageable height.

Increased customisation

Here's a good example: Say you wanted to build a achieve a a 2m long gabion rock wall that is 300mm deep and 500mm high. Rather than trying to achieve this with one large basket, we can use a combination of different standard panel sizes as follows:

• 4 off x500mm panels (acting as the front and back facing panels)
• 4 off x300mm panels (acting as the bottom and top facing panels)
• 3 off 500x300mm panels (acting as the 2 end panels and 1 centre panel)

Rather than try and handle one 2m monster basket, you can build this in situ one panel at a time. Notice how the 1 off 500x300mm panel is used as a central panel? This means that this setup is more cost effective than buying 2 individual baskets butted up together because one end panel is now redundant. It also ties all the other panels in together nicely with the spiral winder (not shown).

Reducing gabion bulging

Smaller gabion baskets installed on top of one another allow for a centre support that runs horizontally through the middle of your retaining wall. This ensures your rock filling stays consistent throughout the basket, preventing bellowing. Over time, rock filling cannot slowly sink deeper into the basket causing bellowing due to the weight and pressure of the rock. The larger the basket, the more likely bellowing is to happen because the less wire mesh is available to support it. Such an effect will eventually destroy the shape of the wall and it’s functionality.
