Gabion Installation Video 

Mark Oliver , greatMark, let us know if we can help you, pse send us some photos. Kind rgds Louis Cheyne, louis@gabionbaskets.co.za

Will do. I'm in NZ but a gabion is a gabion, aye? The ones I'm using have a divider in the centre which is a little fiddlier to wire in place than the end panels but with a little thought and pre wiring into square position it's no drama. Put a few together today and I have to admit that without your vid I would have made a balls of it. I had to spring for some decent linesman pliers and figured out that the cutting edge must be underneath, guess how? A pair of mole grips came in very handy to line up the awry bits which I could not weave together by brute strength. I measured the wire lengths at just shy of a fathom....... Stick your arms out sideways and cut one hand off... This left enough wire to weave the lid down from each side, more or less. Thanks again, nothing worse than doing a job a number of times to figure out the best way. Oh, any suggestions for sore hands? lol

We do offer PVC coated materials depending on the site conditions, however its 40% more expensive and clients generally choose the cheaper option.

l made Lott gaibion in 15 years

One of my first videos ' 👍

Pse send your inquiry to louis@gabionbaskets.co.za, however for very fast flowing water with a velocity of in excess of 6m per second is above the critical limit for baskets, we then suggest covering the top of the basket or mattress with a concrete capping, so that the rock is prevented from moving and then ultimately damaging the mesh lids. kind rgds Louis Cheyne, Joannesburg, South Africa.

Can I built a gabion Foundation under water Upto the level of a flooded river

Hi Wisely, i would need to look at the embankment detail and what you need before making a comment, pse email me a drawing if you have, louis@gabionbaskets.co.za ;)

Hi Maybe this could help.. ktwister.com

Wovenmesh is much cheaper and it depends on the clients choice ! 👍😁

@@LouisCheyne Cheaper ? Omg, price is not everything. But it is not as good looking as welded gabions. Wovenmesh r bullshit, in our country nobody wants it. Material is possible to be cheaper, but realize is so much complicated. It is possible to use in river with PVC coating on wire, there is better to copy terrain.
