Troubleshooting

Gabion basket panels do not align properly during assembly.

Ensure the panels are fully unfolded and laid flat. Gently adjust the position of the grids until they align smoothly before inserting the spiral rods.

Basket shape is not stable after filling.

Verify that all spacer hooks and spiral rods are securely fastened. Ensure the filling material is distributed evenly and compacted slightly as you fill.

Spiral rods are difficult to twist and secure.

Ensure the grids are perfectly aligned. You may need to apply firm, steady pressure. If a rod is bent, try straightening it or using a spare if provided.

Rust spots appearing on the surface.

Minor rust spots can occur over time. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant corrosion, consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant specifically designed for galvanized metal, although this may alter the appearance.
