Plastics material mesh which has spaced, longitudinal, oriented strands is used to form a retainer construction for retaining fill in a geotechnical structure. Triangular compartments are formed by having a number of parallel elongate portions of the mesh and interconnecting them by zig-zag portions, each zig-zag portion thus being mainly contained between the two respective elongate portions, and being joined to the adjacent zig-zag portion at respective corners of the compartments. The connections are made by transversely bending the strands of one portion to form loops which project out the opposite side of the other portion, and passing a connecting member through the loops to prevent the loops being pulled back.
