Additional Recommendations
- Use Galfan or PVC-coated gabions for longer service life in wet conditions
- Ensure proper foundation leveling and geotextile installation to prevent soil loss
- Use angular stone (2–4 in) for better interlock and drainage
- Install diaphragms and stiffeners to maintain basket shape under load
- Allow drainage through the structure to reduce hydrostatic pressure
