In this video, I show you how I built a 30-metre long and 2-metre high gabion wall for slope stabilization. The summary includes the preparation of the foundation, the installation and filling of the stone baskets and the final construction of a raised bed above the retaining wall.
A slope in my garden had to be secured over a length of almost 30 meters. To do this, I used gabions - filled stone baskets that I have already installed in different variations on my property. In this project, an existing gabion wall was to be extended in order to support an approx. 2 meter high earth slope. A staircase was also installed in the middle.
Water pipes, empty conduits, waste water pipes and a filter fleece to prevent contamination were also laid. Finally, the stone baskets were filled with stones by hand.
The project began in the fall of 2019 and the last stones were filled in the summer of 2020. In this video I have summarized all construction stages from planning to the finished raised bed.
