Angular rock is the best gabion fill as it provides a good interlock and therefore less deformation of the face occurs. When using rounded river rock as gabion fill, it is recommended that you use the heavier 5ga (3/16th&#;) gabion baskets, which are less likely to deform under load.

4ga wire (which is 44% stronger than 5ga) is the preferred choice where an uniform architectural look is required, the gabions are likely to be sat or walked on, and when building steps

Bracing the gabion basket is a step that cannot be skipped as it reduces any gabion bulge.

The lacing wire was cut into approx. 1.5m lengths, then threaded through the same place in each gabion, eg 4 spaces up, 4 spaces from the left, 4 spaces up, 4 spaces from the right etc. I then looped the wire back through the way it came, and twisted the wire around itself in the middle of the basket to prevent it coming loose. A set of pliers was used to grip the middle of the wire and twist it to make it taught.
It&#;s important to do this both ways, though I have to say I did fewer side to side, it was the front and back ones that were the most important to stop the bulge on the front face.
