Woven Gabion Baskets

Prepare materials and tools:
First, prepare the materials and tools needed for Woven Gabion Baskets. You'll need the following materials: high-strength wire (such as galvanized wire), stone or gravel filler. For tools, you'll need pliers, wire cutters, and measuring tools (like a ruler).

Build the grid structure:
First, use pliers and wire cutters to cut the wire to the desired length. Typically, a piece of metal wire can be woven into a length of mesh structure. Determine the desired mesh size and use a measuring tool to cut the wire to the corresponding length. The wires are then bent into a rectangular or square grid structure, ensuring that adjacent lines cross each other and are firmly connected. Use pliers to twist the wires together at the intersections to ensure the soundness of the structure.

Braided filling material:
Place a layer of stones or gravel at the base of the grid structure to serve as a base for the fill material. Then, place the filler material evenly over the middle portion of the grid structure, making sure to fill every grid. You can use wire or metal clamps to secure the filling material to the grid structure to prevent it from loosening or moving. Continue adding filler material layer by layer until you reach the desired height. Make sure each layer is evenly and tightly packed to maintain structural stability.

Complete the weaving process:
After the filling is completed, the edge metal wires of the grid structure are bent or twisted together to secure the filling material and complete the weaving process. Make sure the connection between edge wires is strong and tight to prevent filler material from spilling out. Trim excess wire to give your Woven Gabion Baskets a clean look. Check the stability and sturdiness of the entire structure to make sure the filling material is not loose or leaking out.
