DIY Gabion Wall Stairs: Turning Reclaimed Materials Into Heavy Duty Steps

Build heavy duty DIY Gabion wall stairs with Anson Ivey! Master hillside landscaping using reclaimed materials in this IFF project. Subscribe for more Ivey family builds: ‪@IveysFamilyFactotum‬

The project continues at the Ivey homestead! Anson takes on the challenge of building heavy-duty stairs to complement the ongoing Gabion wall project. Using reclaimed 6x6 timbers and "2-inch clean" drainage rock, this DIY build transforms a steep transition into a permanent, functional staircase.

Gladis is keeping the project moving on the home front, though Bethann is currently away at college. We miss her in the weekly videos but look out for her in a pre-recorded appearance coming up very soon!

Watch as Anson uses the MS 271 Farm Boss to prep the beams and utilizes his "check in a box" strategy to ensure these stairs are level, stable, and built to last.
