How to Build a Block Retaining Wall | Mitre 10 Easy As DIY

Показать описание

A keystone block retaining wall can be a great landscaping feature in your place. They're a good way to flatten off an area in your yard, to create some useful space or make a raised garden - and they're pretty easy to build yourself.

But it's always best to check with your local council before starting to see if your retaining wall needs to comply with any Unitary Plan or Resource Management Act Requirements

You didn’t show us how you ended the arg pipes? Where do the drain too?

Hello. Got a question. Just how much would you recommend these projects for complete beginners? You see I have practically zero DIY experience but don't cherish the idea of not being the man that I am and not being able to do these things myself. You said these are "pretty easy to build yourself". Do you mean for the people who are skilled carpenters etc. or anyone who tries his best from scratch? Thanks.

I would drill and pin those capping stones.

Where does the drainage tube go? It didn’t look like you sloped it anywhere…

Why no weed barrier or landscape fabric?

Hey so I built a squat and bench rack for my weights. I set 2x2s into Home Depot 5 gallon buckets. At the bottom of the post I hammered in some nails on each side to tug on the Quikrete Mortar mix when it should be (Cement). Do you think the mortar will be fine and hold or would I have to redo the entire project? I have much to learn in life 🤦🏻‍♂️ lol. It’s all part of the process I guess.
