Installation Instructions
| To Do | Explanation |
|
Step 1 – Mark Area
|
Use spray paint, stones or other materials to mark the location where you plan to construct your bench. |
|
Step 2 – Dig Ground
|
Dig 10cm or until the ground is firm. |
|
Step 3 – Lay Base
|
Add a 10cm layer of gravel or basecourse. |
|
Step 4 – Stomp Gravel
|
Walk and stomp on the gravel to make it compact. |
|
Optional – Concrete Foundation |
Most gabion benches do not require a foundation but if you have a large amount of groundwater or the soil is weak, it may be needed. |
|
Step 5 – Fold Up Baskets
|
Unfold the baskets and lift up their sides, front and back. Leave the lids hanging backward. |
|
Step 6 – Make Up Baskets
|
Connect the corners of the baskets with helicals. Alternatively, you can use tying wire. |
|
Step 7 – Fill Gabions
|
Fill up your gabions with your desired type of stone. |
|
Step 8 – Attach Wooden Top
|
Place wooden planks on top of the gabion fill. Close down the lid, place the wooden top on the lid and screw it to the wooden planks beneath the wire. |
|
Step 9 – Gabion Bench Ready
|
Your gabion bench is ready. |
