Gabion Cover for the JUMBO Gabion – 957 or 1914 mm long, incl. 6 bracket sets

For the JUMBO basket 1000 x 1008 mm the manufacturer states a fill volume of approx. 0.266 m³ and around 400 kg of stones, depending on the grain size. A basket 2000 x 2008 mm holds four times that by calculation, around 1.06 m³ and approx. 1,600 kg. The actual weight depends on the type of stone.

No. Baskets, columns and posts are delivered without filling. You buy the stones locally from a building materials supplier or a quarry, which saves expensive transport.

The baskets have a mesh size of 50 x 200 mm. Finer fillings fall through. For those, line the inside of the basket with the 12.7 x 12.7 mm mesh roll.

Both are possible. The JUMBO gabion is available with posts for setting in concrete or with welded-on base plates for bolting down. Gabion columns are set in concrete or bolted to a foundation with the universal base plate. For setting in concrete the manufacturer recommends an embedment depth of 60 cm for the columns.

The JUMBO stone basket is a ready-welded basket with a depth of 266 mm. In a gabion fence two rows of double-rod mesh are mounted on 120/40 mm double posts, giving a fill width of approx. 145 mm. The fence is slimmer, while the basket arrives ready-welded.

For the hot-dip galvanized gabion columns the manufacturer expects about 30 years under normal weather conditions before the zinc layer is worn away. Baskets and columns are hot-dip galvanized to EN ISO 1461.
