Do I need special tools for assembly?
Assembly is generally straightforward. While specific tools are not listed, basic tools for connecting wire or handling materials might be helpful. Ensure you have gloves for handling potentially sharp edges during assembly.
Troubleshooting
Gabion is unstable or leaning
Ensure the gabion is placed on a level and compacted surface. Check that the filling material is evenly distributed and packed tightly. If part of a larger structure, ensure all adjacent units are properly aligned and secured.
Mesh seems to be bulging outwards
This can occur if the filling material is not packed densely enough or if the load is excessive. Carefully remove some filling material, redistribute, and pack more tightly, ensuring the walls remain straight.
Rust appears on the surface
While made of iron, prolonged exposure to specific environmental conditions might cause minor surface rust. This is typically cosmetic. If significant corrosion is a concern, consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant suitable for outdoor metal structures.
Assembly is difficult
Ensure all wire panels are correctly oriented before attempting to connect them. Some gabions may require gentle bending or manipulation to align the connection points. Refer to any included diagrams for assembly order.
