Take a metric tape measure and measure the length, width and depth of the area to be filled. The length and width measurements should be recorded in metres and the depth in millimetres. Now take these figures and enter them into the quantity calculator to reveal the approximate quantity required for your job.
Remember:
1 metre is equivalent to 1000mm or 100cm
1 centimetre is equivalent to 10mm
Our 100-150mm** Celtic Gabion Stone is an angular granite stone consisting of plum, green and grey shades very similar to that of Welsh Slate and is perfect for Gabion Baskets. In fact you would be forgiven for thinking that the product actually contains slate but it is a form of Porphyritic Andesite from the Granite family. The various shades of plum, green and grey present make Celtic Gabion Stone a very attractive alternative to standard coloured gabion stone. Celtic Gabion Stone is produced to 6G specifications and is incredibly durable and suited to Gabion installations requiring the strongest stone. See Gabion Basket Installation Video

Celtic Gabion Stone is a 100-150mm graded Granite. The sizing of stone is approximate and describes the length of a single piece of stone across at least one axis. Therefore, a stone could be 150mm in width but 200mm in length and still be in spec. The distribution of sizes will be completely random. PLEASE CALL US IF UNSURE BEFORE ORDERING.
Celtic Gabion Stone can be used for gabion baskets, gabion mattresses and general landscaping.
Celtic Gabion Stone is not washed. No gabion stone produced in the UK is washed due to its size. Therefore, the product is likely to be dirty on arrival with up to 10% fine material leftover. It is recommended the finished gabion wall be jet washed to remove any dirt/dust and to reveal the true colour of the stone. A period of heavy or prolonged rain will also achieve the same result.
Celtic Gabion Stone weighs approximately 1.6 tonnes per cubic metre. Therefore, 1 bulk bag will fill 0.5-0.6m3 of a gabion basket. The amount of gabion stone used on a project will be determined by the skill of the installer. An experienced installer will use much more stone than the average DIYer as they will be able to pack the stones tighter in the baskets. For this reason, don’t be surprised to use more or less stone than initially calculated. For larger areas you may wish to use our quantity calculator located at the top right hand side of this page under the grey "How Much Will I Need" tab. Simply enter your measurements to reveal the required tonnage. Please be sure to enter the length and width figures in metres and the depth in millimetres to give the correct quantity.
Celtic Gabion Stone should be hand laid to ensure the face of the gabion basket achieves that sought after dry stone wall finish. Machine fill is not recommended as this results in a very loosely filled basket which can compromise strength and is less aesthetically pleasing. For a more detailed guide to Gabion Constuction please see our explainer video here: Gabion Basket Installation
Once installed, Celtic Gabion Stone should be relatively maintenance free. The product may benefit from an annual jet wash to remove any dust and grime that may have accumulated along with any weeds that might have taken root between the stones.
Celtic Gabion Stone is fish friendly. However, we recommend the product be thoroughly washed before immersing in water.
