Luckily, in Sydney we found Permathene P/L, which makes kit form gabion cages in a variety of sizes. I also looked through the broken rocks to pick out those with a flatter face so I could put them on the presentation street side.

I reckon if I sprayed it with Galmet and could support it while filling and putting the top on, it would go another fifty years. We filled the second layer like the first, using some old bricks and blocks in the centre. The lovely wooden house-style one made by my dear old dad was kicked apart some years ago by drunken football fans, and the repaired version was stolen. My husband and I were inspired to build not only a letter box, but retain a 20m bank on our acreage block using Galvan cages containing blue metal rocks. Serviceable but pretty embarrassing! When building gabions on softer soils, both the depth of the toe and the size of the base needs to be increased to spread the load over a wider area.
The type of stone you choose is largely a matter of preference, though often will be dictated by availability, budget and the desired ‘look’ of the wall once completed. Check the facing panels regularly to ensure they are straight and even.
Once we’d packed (and then repacked in a few spots) the lower cage, we wired on its lid and then assembled the second layer on top. Packing the rocks takes some time. We ended up with a small metal letterbox sitting on some concrete blocks for a couple of years while we landscaped the front garden. We started by laying the mesh sheets out flat with the base surrounded by the four sides.

You should see the breakfast table. I would really like to reuse it instead of sending it off for recycling or committing it to landfill.
