How to Make a Planter  Video

To Do Explanation
Step 1 – Cut Out The Lid
gabion-basket-planter-lid		 Measure the diameter of your pot and use bolt cutters or an angle grinder to cut a hole on the lid.

The hole should be big enough so the container fits through it.
Step 2 – Start Filling The Gabion

 Depending on the height of your plant pot, start filling your gabion with stone.
Step 3 – Add The Container

planter-pot-in-gabion

 Place a container on top of the stones.

The container should have its top more or less in line with the top of the gabion.

If not, place more stones beneath it, until they are level.
Step 4 – Fill It Up

planter-pot-with-stones

 Fill up the gabion around the plant container, until you reach the top of the basket.
Step 5 – Close The Lid

Step 6 – Planter Ready
done-planter
 Secure the lid panel and your gabion planter should be ready.

FAQs

What are gabion planters for?

They are sturdy metal baskets, which are filled with stones to create a landscaping feature for your garden.

What do you fill these planters with?

They can be filled with various materials, including rubble, stones, and hard-core, with a layer of decorative stone at the front. Filling materials should be over 75mm in diameter to make sure they stay in the cage.
