Hi Louise, thanks for putting this up. I am just pricing my very first gabion job, so nice to be able to see some informative videos out there to help me get my head around the procedure regards Andy

Great video Louis, thank you for taking the time to make and post it. I have got some gabion work on the farm and will be getting baskets from you in the next week or so. Have to find filler first.

Will do. I'm in NZ but a gabion is a gabion, aye? The ones I'm using have a divider in the centre which is a little fiddlier to wire in place than the end panels but with a little thought and pre wiring into square position it's no drama. Put a few together today and I have to admit that without your vid I would have made a balls of it. I had to spring for some decent linesman pliers and figured out that the cutting edge must be underneath, guess how? A pair of mole grips came in very handy to line up the awry bits which I could not weave together by brute strength. I measured the wire lengths at just shy of a fathom....... Stick your arms out sideways and cut one hand off... This left enough wire to weave the lid down from each side, more or less. Thanks again, nothing worse than doing a job a number of times to figure out the best way. Oh, any suggestions for sore hands? lol

Mark Oliver hi Mark, thanks for your reply, sore hands pse use leather gloves. We all do, where are you in Nz ? Pse don’t forget phots pse, kind rgds Louis. 😄👍

What do you think of using hog rings instead of the looping method of binding wire? I think they are quicker but perhaps not as strong.

perfect job ,i would like to make the same in the future

It's a pleasure Andy. I think a picture tells a lot of words, KZread certainly helps.. Kindly contact us for anything else you require. All the best.

Thanks for the comment, appreciated. I will try to do better. It was my first attempt. Rgds Louis

Informative video, pity that the music was not muted as it drowned out some of the narration

No problem, thanks Andy and have a great day. Rgds Louis.

Thank you , I hope to build a retaining wall , but I didn't see the examples where one side are water. Do you have a video ? To keep dirt from falling into water .

Muito bom!! Peguei um trabalho um muro de gabião,E ñ sabia de nada kkkk.vi seu video e fiquei crack 👏🖒

Looks pretty labor intensitive. I guess that's why gab-ions haven't caught on in the USA. Unskilled labor exists in the US, but not low cost unskilled labor. Just like Adobe, it's both a poor man and an rich man's building material.

Aprende muy interesante.

I worked as a gabion and mattress maker in Australia and we did a 13,000 cage architectural causeway on an island a few years ago, good money. No idea why you don’t use pvc coated wire though, much better and easier to work with

We do offer PVC coated materials depending on the site conditions, however its 40% more expensive and clients generally choose the cheaper option.

Pse send your inquiry to louis@gabionbaskets.co.za, however for very fast flowing water with a velocity of in excess of 6m per second is above the critical limit for baskets, we then suggest covering the top of the basket or mattress with a concrete capping, so that the rock is prevented from moving and then ultimately damaging the mesh lids. kind rgds Louis Cheyne, Joannesburg, South Africa.

Hi Wisely, i would need to look at the embankment detail and what you need before making a comment, pse email me a drawing if you have, louis@gabionbaskets.co.za ;)

Hand stacking seems pretty labor intensive, but it looks awesome on the front face.

Amazing when you listen to some of the comments, guys who think they know it all, I wanted to show and assist with understanding where people genuinely have the need for this information, however I see that some competitors seem to use it as a platform to attack. Have a nice day and god bless all. Louis Cheyne

That is the purpose also in OSuth Africa, we need to create lot's of work for remote unskilled people, so they can at the least support their families and learn a new skill.

PS Louis, sorry for changing your gender to Louise, lol. Your accent tells me you are in the S.African continent, we are in the UK, otherwise maybe we could get our supply from you. Our engineer and architect has mentioned a company called ENVIROMESH

Same the speaker mumbles ...missed a whole lot

Too much work,eh? How about spiral wire to knit the corners. Much easier. And a heavier gauge mesh would be nice to reduce bulging. Too much work also to build the tie backs to prevent bulging. All that wire work with no safety glasses? Not smart.

OMG... why do you use that type of gabions... ??? Welded material is better to looking on...

@@LouisCheyne Cheaper ? Omg, price is not everything. But it is not as good looking as welded gabions. Wovenmesh r bullshit, in our country nobody wants it. Material is possible to be cheaper, but realize is so much complicated. It is possible to use in river with PVC coating on wire, there is better to copy terrain.
