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!

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	Regulations state that retaining walls should start at 50cm below ground. However, Gabion walls lower than 2m are often placed directly on the ground or at a shallower depth. Digging between 20cm-50cm or until the ground is firm ground, such as clay instead of the topsoil should be adequate.
Step 3 – 6 Degree Slope	If you are retaining a lot of earth, the hole should have a 6-degree slope leaning back. If you are retaining a small amount of earth, such as a garden bed or the wall is mostly decorative, you can maintain an upright edge instead of a 6 degree slope if you prefer.
Step 4 – Add Gravel	Add a 20cm layer of gravel or basecourse on top of the soil.
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 – Geotextile	Cover the back of the gabion baskets with a geotextile or weed mat to prevent soil and earth clogging up behind the wall.
Step 7 – Unfold the Baskets	Unfold and lift up the sides of the baskets.
Step 8 – Join the Cages	Assemble and attach the baskets together with the helicals included in the kit.
Step 9 – Fill with Stone	Fill the gabions with your choice of stone.
Step 10 – Close Lids	Fold the lids down to close your baskets.
Step 11 – 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 12 – 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 13 – Finished Project	Your 2m tall gabion retaining wall is done!
