Methodology
Transparent calculation
BuildMeter converts every input to a consistent internal unit, applies the selected allowance, and rounds products up to whole purchasable units.
Basket volume = length × width × height × quantity. Add the entered allowance, convert volume to weight with editable bulk density, and round truckloads upward.
FAQ
Gabion Stone Calculator questions
Why use loose bulk density?+
Supplier weights are based on bulk stone including voids. Use a density for the actual stone gradation and moisture condition.
Should basket wire volume be deducted?+
Wire volume is normally negligible for ordering. Settlement, handling loss and stone arrangement generally matter more.
Does this design a gabion wall?+
No. Wall geometry, foundation, drainage, overturning, sliding, connection and corrosion requirements need project-specific design.
