nod Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 My wife s little project She has put twenty Gabion baskets together and taken delivery of some stone How the hell to you gauge how much stone you need 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triassic Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) You use the good, nice looking stone on the outside and the top, the places that can not be seen, you use the cheapest stone you can buy to fill the rest of the void space! You know the cubic capacity of each gabion, and you can usually find the volume per tonne of stone online. Edited May 10, 2019 by Triassic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 I’ve got her Ten ton for starters Foind a good quarry that will deliver ten ton for £225 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Davies Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 You could just ask them directly how much a cubic metre weighs, when I've had deliveries the drivers knew roughly. Trouble with guessing is they'd probably deliver 20 tonnes for £235 or not much more, delivery is a large part of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonM Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 empty space was quoted at half the price of the stone when I ordered my stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpd Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Where did you get your baskets from @nod ? I have got some BIG projects in a few years with Gabions and am just wondering what they cost, those look very good quality. I have endless free stone ! So i want to buy some good cages, preferably with a green plastic coating but that may be a bit expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your right there Some online companies are selling £65 per ton bag plus deliveries I think 225 for clean is pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
