Packing and loading

The gabions is compressed and packed in bundle by steel wire or in pallet.

Install:

Unpack the gabions, which are supplied in bundles of two, whatever their size.(Enough binding wire is supplied with all gabions delivered.)
Unfold each gabion on a hard, flat surface.

Stretch it out and stamp out any kinks. Make sure that all creases are in the correct positions for forming the box- one at the edge of each end panel and each diaphragm.

Fold the side and end panels into the upright position to form a rectangular box.

Join the top corners of the box together with the corners of each panel. This makes sure that the tops of all four sides of the box are level.

Begin wiring up by securing the binding wire at the top corners of the panels to be joined by looping it through and twisting it together.

Then lace the wire around the selvedges with single loops and double loops in turn at 100 mm (4”) intervals.

Finally, fasten the wire securely at the bottom corner, and poke the loose end inside the gabion. Next, lift the diaphragms into the vertical position, and wire them up to the side panels in exactly the same way.

Wire the gabions together, using exactly the same method as for assembling single gabions. Place them front to front and back, to back, so that pairs of facing lids can later be wired down in one go.
