Gabion walls

[diggerjones]

Yes 2 at a time for laying. Just moving them it would probably do 4 or more. I thought they were heavy compared to a bag of cement

are you planning to put the geogrid between the layers ? i found the quickest way was do a layer and back fill.

Ah couldn't see it on the other pic. Looks ok like that. Probably better than cutting blocks diagonally

several way to do the step i cut a piece of cap 100mm long and then point in the small gap you can get end blocks at about £12.00 each looks good but bit on the price side

 

[diggerjones]

think i will have 2 corner blocks left over so could use them or like you say use caps
