How To Build A Landscape Timber Retaining Wall With Wood Beams

Building a landscape retaining wall using timbers is a large project. You'll need several materials, a few days, and some extra hands would really help. This video will show you the process of building a retaining wall in front of an existing wall to help hold back the hillside.

You'll Need:

I highly recommend purchasing 2 drill bits. You're very likely to break one or it will become too dull to continue using.

The only thing I would’ve done differently is drilling a pilot hole for your nails so you wouldn’t have split the wood to hell.
