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.
