Part 2 of my Steep Driveway series showing in detail how we built a retaining wall from 2m high gabion baskets, using recycled brick as infill and a cost saver partition panel using Scottish cobbles. This project saved us a tonne of money by not having to dispose of our house renovation rubble and only buying a few bags of Scottish cobbles to complete the modern look. This cheap retaining wall can be completed by any DIY-er, just make sure you get structural advice if you need it.

I have no association with Fine Mesh Metals. At the time I purchased in 2016, I had very good service from them. I understand from a few viewers that they've had issues with the company, mostly poor delivery times. I am sorry to hear this. Not many gabion basket suppliers offer the galfan coated baskets, so do your research to find the best company for you.
