Zawartość opakowania

Before starting assembly, verify that all components are present and undamaged. The package for Model 143582 typically includes:

• Galvanised steel mesh panels (sides, front, back, top, bottom)
• Spiral connectors or C-rings for assembly
• Internal bracing wires or tie rods (for larger gabions to prevent bulging)
• Lid panels

Note: Stones for filling the gabion are not included and must be sourced separately.

Konfiguracja i montaż

Follow these steps to assemble and install your gabion wall:

Krok 1: Przygotuj miejsce

Choose a level and stable surface for your gabion wall. For permanent structures, a compacted gravel base or concrete foundation is recommended to prevent settling and ensure stability. Clear any debris or vegetation from the area.

Step 2: Unpack and Lay Out Components

Carefully unpack all mesh panels and connectors. Lay them out on a flat surface to identify each piece.

Krok 3: Złóż podstawę

Connect the bottom panel to the side panels using the spiral connectors or C-rings. Ensure all connections are secure. The panels should form an open box structure.

Step 4: Erect the Sides and Ends

Attach the remaining side and end panels to form the full cage. Use spiral connectors or C-rings along all vertical edges. For longer gabions, internal diaphragms (divider panels) may be included to prevent bulging. Install these at regular intervals as per the design.

Step 5: Install Bracing Wires (if applicable)

For gabions taller than 1 meter or those with significant length, bracing wires (also known as tie rods or stiffeners) are crucial. These wires connect opposite faces of the gabion internally to prevent the sides from bulging outwards when filled. Install them horizontally at approximately 30-45 cm intervals as you fill the gabion.

Step 6: Fill the Gabion

Begin filling the gabion with suitable, durable, and non-frost-susceptible stones. Stones should be larger than the mesh openings to prevent them from falling out. Fill the gabion in layers, carefully placing stones to minimize voids and ensure a dense, stable fill. As you fill, ensure the sides remain vertical and do not bulge. If using bracing wires, install them as you fill each layer.

Krok 7: Zabezpiecz pokrywę

Once the gabion is filled to the desired level, place the lid panel on top. Secure the lid to the top edges of the side panels using spiral connectors or C-rings. Ensure the lid is tightly fastened to prevent stones from shifting or escaping.
