Troubleshooting
Gabion wall appears unstable or is shifting.
Ensure the base is level and compacted. Check if the gabion is filled evenly and densely. If used on a slope, ensure proper foundational support is in place.
Rust or corrosion appearing on the surface.
This is unlikely due to the galvanized steel, but if minor spots appear, they can be touched up with a suitable metal paint. Ensure water drains freely from the base.
Mesh openings are too large for selected fill material.
Use a smaller grade of gravel or rocks. Consider lining the inside with landscape fabric or mesh to prevent finer materials from escaping, especially if using very small stones.
