Frequently Asked Questions

What is Recycled Gabion Fill?

Recycled Gabion Fill is a 75-40mm graded concrete and brick fill material. The sizing of stone is approximate and describes the length of a single piece of stone across at least one axis. Therefore, a stone could be 75mm in width but 100mm in length and still be in spec. The distribution of sizes will be completely random. PLEASE CALL US IF UNSURE BEFORE ORDERING.

What Can Recycled Gabion Fill Be Used For?

Recycled Gabion Fill can be used for back filling gabion baskets as a cheaper alternative to quarried stone. This product is too small for facing and should be used as back fill only.

Is Recycled Gabion Fill Washed?

Recycled Gabion Fill is not washed. No gabion stone produced in the UK is washed due to its size. Therefore, the product is likely to be dirty on arrival with up to 10% fine material leftover. It is recommended the finished gabion wall be jet washed to remove any dirt/dust and to reveal the true colour of the stone. A period of heavy or prolonged rain will also achieve the same result.

How Do I Calculate The Quantity Of Recycled Gabion Fill I Require?

Recycled Gabion Fill weighs approximately 1.6 tonnes per cubic metre. Therefore, 1 bulk bag will fill 0.5-0.6m3 of a gabion basket. The amount of gabion stone used on a project will be determined by the skill of the installer. An experienced installer will use much more stone than the average DIYer as they will be able to pack the stones tighter in the baskets. For this reason, don’t be surprised to use more or less stone than initially calculated. For larger areas you may wish to use our quantity calculator located at the top right hand side of this page under the grey "How Much Will I Need" tab. Simply enter your measurements to reveal the required tonnage. Please be sure to enter the length and width figures in metres and the depth in millimetres to give the correct quantity.

How Do I Install Recycled Gabion Fill?

Recycled Gabion Fill should be loose poured behind the facing stone of a gabion basket before being tamped firm. For a more detailed guide to Gabion Constuction please see our explainer video here: Gabion Basket Installation

Does Recycled Gabion Fill Require Maintenance?

Is Recycled Gabion Fill Fish Friendly?
