Very cool. You make it look so fast, cheap, and easy! I like the cappers you added a lot. The nice size of it makes the garden bed a nice conversation or activity area many people can enjoy as a simple bench.

Nice, simple and very economical. Used this design on my 4 metre long retaining garden bed using 150mm x 50mm H4 timber, 100mm galvanised screws and with eziflow drainage behind. Best part is you only need to use the one size timber for posts and retainers. In New Zealand I find "sleepers" are quite pricey so the merch grade timber I bought did the trick. 🤘🏾

Great garden wall! Just wondering if there should be added drainage pipes for water runoff control -- because the yard (especially that corner) seems to be on an angle down to the house? Might just be the camera angle .....

Yea definitely could have used some gravel and a drainage pipe running along the inside of the retaining wall. Extra step he probably didn't want to overcomplicate it.

It’s ready mix (sometimes called Post Crete or Post Fix). Get it in any big box or hardware store (Lowe’s etc). Just add water and poke it to remove any air pockets and it sets in about 15-30 minutes.

What is preventing this wall from bulging out, after time, since you did not include a deadman every few feet? Also, what about drainage? Thank you.
@PimpTrizkit-42 7 жыл бұрын
It might bulge. But he has a lot of wide posts, that covers a large horizontal percentage, and if they are cemented well and deep enough, it should be fine for a while. And your right, it does not appear he added drainage, which would add another 20-30 years (or more) to the walls life.

Yes, it's going to rot. No drainage, and even pressure treated is not immune to rot. If you want permanent you're going to have to use stone.

I've had lumber marked, "Ground Contact" in my garden for 30 years now with no rot whatsoever. Talk to your lumber yard and don't end up using those cheap posts that claim to be pressure treated. You will lose the whole wall in 5 years or less.

My thought at first too. I notice other vids showing timber retaining walls also has the posts visible or facing out. Is it better to hide the sleeper's end where they meet, or hide the posts...
@tle7812 8 жыл бұрын
if you think about it, the horizontal lumber is being held back by the posts against the movement of the soil. If the timber was on the other side it would be only a matter of time before the soil pushes them and the nails or screws out of the posts. It doesn't look as good but it's way stronger than putting them the other way.
