Freestanding Wall Instructions
Retaining Wall Instructions
| To Do | Explanation |
|
Step 1 – Identify Location
|
Use spray paint, stones or other materials to mark the location where you plan to construct your wall. |
|
Step 2 – Dig
|
Dig 20cm or until the ground is firm. |
|
Step 3 – Geotextile
|
Place a layer of geotextile or weed mat to prevent soil to prevent weeds from growing up and through your gabions. |
|
Step 4 – Add Basecourse
|
Add a 20cm layer of gravel or basecourse on top of the geotextile. |
|
Step 5 – Compact Gravel
|
Walk and stomp on the gravel to make it compact. |
| Optional – Concrete Foundation (If Required) |
Most low-level gabion walls do not require a foundation but if you have a large amount of groundwater or the soil is weak it may be needed.
|
|
Step 6 – Unfold the Baskets
|
Unfold and lift up the sides of the baskets. |
|
Step 7 – Join the Cages
|
Assemble and attach the baskets together with the helicals included in the kit. |
|
Step 8 – Fill with Stone
|
Fill the gabions with your choice of stone. |
|
Step 9 – Close Lids
|
Fold the lids down to close your baskets. |
|
Step 10 – Add Second Row
|
Place the second row of baskets on top of the first one and connect them together with helicals at the front. |
|
Step 11 – Fill and Join
|
Fill the top baskets with rocks as well.
For added security, you can join the baskets with helicals from front to back. You may need to cut some of them to fit the depth of your wall. |
|
Step 12 – Finished Project

Your 2m tall freestanding gabion wall is done! |
