Are these gabions suitable for use near water?
The iron material is rust-proof and weather-proof, making them suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged submersion in water is not recommended.
What safety precautions should I take during assembly?
Due to the potentially sharp edges of the metal wires, it is essential to wear safety shoes and protective gloves during assembly.
Can I stack multiple gabion baskets?
While designed for individual use, stacking may be possible depending on the specific application and ground stability. It is recommended to ensure a stable base and proper support if stacking.
Troubleshooting
Gabion appears unstable after filling
Ensure the gabion is placed on a level and firm surface. Check that all connection points during assembly are secure. If used as a retaining wall, ensure proper base preparation.
Rust appears on the surface
While the iron is rust-proof, minor surface discoloration can occur over time. This does not typically affect structural integrity. For aesthetic concerns, a suitable metal sealant can be applied.
Difficulty with assembly
Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly before securing. If parts seem misaligned, double-check the pre-drilled holes and connections.
