Retaining Walls | How to Build Gabion Cages Using Spirals

Описание к видео Retaining Walls | How to Build Gabion Cages Using Spirals

Gabion cages are easy to build and perfect when you have limited access for machinery to dig footings for more conventional retaining walls.

In this video I use up the remainder of my materials to come up another 40cm on an existing retaining wall. The additional retaining wall spans 430cm (long) x 40cm (high) x 35cm (deep). The height and depth were based on what materials I had left.

When calculating your materials, be mindful of the sections you lose when cutting them up i.e. you can't get to 50cm panels out a 100cm sheet.

Advantages
• No cement required for footings
• Good for limited access
• No additional drainage required
• Longevity

Disadvantages
• Aesthetically less pleasing
• Larger horizontal footprint
• Moving rocks to fill the cages
• Prepare a footings
