Troubleshooting

Gabion appears unstable after filling

Ensure the gabion is placed on a level and stable surface. Verify that it has been adequately secured to the ground as per the installation manual. Professional assessment may be required.

Difficulty in filling the gabion evenly

Use a mix of different sized rocks or gravel. Fill in layers and compact gently as you go to ensure a dense and stable fill. Consider using a small shovel or trowel for precise placement.

Rust spots appearing on the surface

While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure in certain environments or damage to the coating can cause rust. Inspect the manual for any recommended touch-up procedures or consult a professional for coatings.
