Troubleshooting
Gabion basket deforms after filling
Ensure the basket was placed on a level surface and filled evenly. Compact the filling material thoroughly as you add it. Check that the wire diameter and mesh construction are sufficient for the intended load.
Filling material escaping the basket
Verify that the filling material (stones/gravel) is smaller than the mesh opening (10 x 5 cm). Ensure the top and bottom covers are securely fastened.
Difficulty assembling the basket
Review the product's assembly instructions. Ensure all panels are correctly aligned before attempting to connect them. If connections are stiff, slight adjustments may be needed, but avoid forcing them to prevent damage.

- Assembly: Unfold the basket and connect the panels as per the product's specific interlocking mechanism (if applicable, or ensure it is securely formed).
- Filling: Fill the basket evenly with appropriate materials such as rocks, gravel, or crushed stone. Ensure the filling is compacted as you go to maintain structural integrity.
