Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Polar White Gabion Cobbles?
Polar White Gabion Cobbles are a 100-170mm graded Marble cobble. 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 170mm in width but 225mm in length and still be in spec. The distribution of sizes will be completely random. PLEASE CALL US IF UNSURE BEFORE ORDERING.
What Can Polar White Gabion Cobbles Be Used For?
Polar White Gabion Cobbles can be used for gabion baskets, gabion mattresses and general landscaping.
Are Polar White Gabion Cobbles Washed?
Polar White Gabion Cobbles are 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 Polar White Gabion Cobbles I Require?
Polar White Gabion Cobbles weigh approximately 1.8 tonnes per cubic metre. Therefore, 1 bulk bag will fill approx 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 Polar White Gabion Cobbles?
Polar White Gabion Cobbles should be hand laid to ensure the face of the gabion basket achieves that sought after dry stone wall finish. Machine fill is not recommended as this results in a very loosely filled basket which can compromise strength and is less aesthetically pleasing. For a more detailed guide to Gabion Constuction please see our explainer video here: Gabion Basket Installation
Do Polar White Gabion Cobbles Require Maintenance?
Once installed, Polar White Gabion Cobbles should be relatively maintenance free. The product may benefit from an annual jet wash to remove any dust and grime that may have accumulated along with any weeds that might have taken root between the stones.
Are Polar White Gabion Cobbles Fish Friendly?
Polar White Gabion Cobbles are not fish friendly. Being Marble, we do not recommend this product is used in water at all. It may adversely affect water chemistry which could be harmful to fish or plants.
