How To Build Outdoor Features With Gabion Baskets

0 Comments

 

Gabion baskets are an excellent way to create unique and durable outdoor features. Whether you're looking to build a garden wall, a retaining wall, or a planter, gabion baskets can provide an attractive and long-lasting solution. Here's how to build outdoor features with gabion baskets. 
 
Choose the Right Size and Shape 


The first step in building an outdoor feature with gabion baskets is to choose the right size and shape. Gabion baskets come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so it's important to choose one that fits your needs. Consider the size of the space you're working with and the materials you'll be filling the cage with, whether it be Harvest Buff gabion stone, Golden Barley gabion stone, York gabion stone, Dale gabion stone, Cotswold gabion stone or another of Mainland Aggregates best-selling decorative stones.   


Prepare the Site 


Before you start building, you'll need to prepare the site. This may involve levelling the ground, removing any obstacles, and ensuring that the site is stable and safe for construction. 

 


Assemble the Gabion Baskets 


Once the site is prepared, it's time to assemble the gabion basket. Gabion baskets, also known as gabion cages are typically made of wire mesh panels that are joined together to create a cage-like structure. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembling the basket, making sure that all panels are securely fastened together. 


 
Fill the Gabion Basket 


Once the gabion basket is assembled, it's time to fill it with the materials of your choice. This can include gabion stone, rocks, gravel, or any other material that you want to use to create your outdoor feature. Make sure that the materials are evenly distributed throughout the basket, and that the basket is filled to the desired level. 
 


Add Finishing Touches 


Once the gabion cage is filled, it's time to add any finishing touches. This may include planting flowers or other vegetation, adding decorative elements such as lights or water features, or simply smoothing out the surface of the material to create a clean, finished look. 
 
Maintain the Feature 


To ensure that your outdoor feature with gabion baskets stays looking great, it's important to maintain it over time. This may involve regular cleaning, pruning plants, or adding additional materials such as our 20mm Silver Granite Chippings to compliment your outdoor feature.  
 
Building outdoor features with gabion baskets are a great way to create a uniquely durable addition to your outdoor space. By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and functional feature that will stand the test of time.
