Care:

  • Regularly inspect the gabion set for any signs of damage or wear.
  • Check the fill material for settling or shifting, and top it up as needed.
  • Keep the area around the gabion set free from debris that could compromise its integrity.
  • Ensure the galvanised steel is not damaged to prevent rust.
