DIY GABION RETAINING WALLS
You've just seen how much you could save...
NOW IMAGINE WHAT YOU COULD DO WITH THATMONEY
INSTEAD.
Think about it for a second.
Finish the landscaping you've been putting off?
Build that deck?
Put in the pool?
Upgrade the outdoor entertaining area?
Or simply keep the money in your bank account?

WESTERN AUSTRALIA HOMEOWNERS: BEFORE YOU SPEND THOUSANDS ON YOUR NEXT RETAINING WALL…
Watch this free video to discover how a European gabion retaining wall method, tested and proven over generations, can give you a
modern, durable wall without automatically paying a tradie tens of thousands of dollars to build it for you.
I’ll show you the critical things you need to understand before you buy a single gabion cage.

Because you've probably seen this before…
A brand-new limestone wall looks fantastic
Clean. Sharp. Solid. When it's first installed, it looks like the finished backyard you paid for. But give it enough time… and you can start seeing the effects of weather, moisture and movement.
CRACKS
STAINING
DISCOLOURATION
REPARING
And eventually, that beautiful new wall doesn't necessarily look so new anymore.
And then there's the cost of getting someone back to fix it.

How much will your wall cost?
Calculate Your Instant Savings Below
1. Wall Details
WA2. Gabion Kit + Stone
DELIVERED3. Limestone Comparison
INSTALLED BY CONTRACTORGabion DIY total is mesh kit + delivered stone fill only. It is not an installed gabion price. Limestone total is practical 1 m reconstituted blocks, stepped quantities, at $120 incl. GST per block including contract labour. Estimate only.
Gabion installation labour, excavation, plant, engineering and permits are not in the gabion DIY figure. Site conditions, surcharge and drainage detailing can change both sides.
Figures are estimates for comparison only. Not a quote. Materials are typically cheaper on this comparison. Any extra saving depends on you doing the gabion labour yourself, as shown in the DIY video.

Now imagine a completely different look
Don't hide the wall. Make the wall the feature.
Natural stone. Texture. Different colours. Different rock sizes. Integrated landscaping. Lighting. Timber. Decking. Your retaining wall can become part of the architecture of your backyard. Something that makes the property look more finished, not less. Something your neighbours will be jealous of. Something you actually enjoy looking at.

AND YOU CAN BUILD IT YOURSELF
AND YOU CAN BUILD IT YOURSELF
That's the part that really changes the equation. Instead of waiting weeks for a contractor… you can have the materials delivered, prepare your site, put the cages together, fill them with your chosen rock, and watch your wall take shape in front of you.
For many straightforward DIY projects, the physical construction can be completed remarkably quickly. In some cases, you can get the bulk of the installation done in a weekend.
And there's something pretty satisfying about standing back at the end of it and thinking
"I built that."

But I know what you're probably thinking
“Sounds great… but how do I know I’m actually going to build it right?”
That's a fair question. Because saving money means nothing if you end up with a wall you're worried about. You don't want to spend your Saturday building… then wake up Sunday wondering: “Is this actually going to hold?”
You don't want to guess where the drainage should go. You don't want to guess how to deal with a slope. And you definitely don't want to find out six months later that you missed something important.

THIS IS WHERE WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
We don't just sell you a cage and send you on your way. We've spent years working with gabion construction. And we've learned something important

The cage is the easy part.
The real value is knowing how your particular wall needs to be approached. For suitable projects, we can provide engineering specific to your retaining wall, along with a detailed project guide.
Your wall. Your dimensions. Your layout.Your drainage.
Your stacking methodYour levels.

Your wall. Your dimensions. Your layout.Your drainage.
Your stacking methodYour levels.
And if your wall is over 1 metre high…
I’m going to show you.
This is the basic principle of how a stepped gabion wall can follow a change in ground level. How the sections relate. How they're connected. What changes as the wall gets higher
The point isn't to overwhelm you with engineering jargon. It's to let you actually see what's happening so you
understand the system before you build it
And then there’s longevity.
I don't expect you to simply believe me when I say our mesh is designed to last.
I'd rather show you the evidence.This is the testing documentation for
the mesh and coating system
BBA CERTIFICATE / TEST DOCUMENTATION
Insert the certificate here.
NO HYPE. NO “TRUST ME.” HERE'S THE DOCUMENTATION.
Now put all of that together.
You've just seen your potential saving.
You've seen what the finished wall can look like.
You've seen how quickly a straightforward project can come together.
You've seen there is a proper method behind the construction.
You've seen project-specific engineering is available when required.
And you've seen the documentation behind the mesh.
So the question isn't really “Can I build a gabion wall?”
