Gabion with their hands

design gabion

material is very simple in its construction.From metal gratings going sturdy and spacious enough mesh, which evenly laid stones.It is understood that just sypanut boulders out of the bag will not work: First, they correctly distributed within cells forming voids, and secondly, given the natural stone weight in a couple of bags, exhausted, lowered his hands, even the most hardy men.
After the cell is filled, it is closed and locked.

Materials gabion own hands

To fill the grid you can use any stone.They use mainly granite or limestone, but in fact it is due to the availability and the mass of the stone.In fact, no restrictions on the choice of a filler for the gabion not.
But as metal mesh, then that should be cautious.Choose only solid galvanized or stainless steel, which does not spoil the look of your structures to corrosion and will not succumb to time and the destructive force of rainfall.

How to build their own hands gabion

assembly process does not actually pose any difficulty, if you truly imagine what form design should get ready.So:

1. Prepare a place for installation of the gabion.Earth must be cleaned of debris, tree stumps and weeds, land, align
2. Prepare foundation under construction.It is understood that the design will be a very heavy, so the hope is that the land does not become uneven sink and washed out, does not have to occur
3. After assembling boxes of solid metal.In the corners it is fixed with special steel rods for greater reliability.The joints between the sections of mesh secured by a strong spiral wire.



4. Now is the time to fill in the cage.First dense layer of stones on the spread depth and third layer wire is fixed in a horizontal position.If necessary, further strengthen the walls of the cell bars.Thereafter, it is filled to the top.
5. Now you need to install the cover.first mesh piece is fixed only at the corners, and after - around the circumference.

Note!On the grid, and the wire can be saved if the installation of gabion producing simple shapes exactly on each other.Then the bottom cover can be top-down.
