GALLERY OF RETAINING WALLS

Check out our wide variety of retaining wall design concepts!

Retaining walls can be used for different purposes; to increase the height of a fence, separate the fence boards from the soil and of course to hold back dirt when there is an elevation issue. A retaining wall can also be used as an attractive addition to a fence creating a horizontal counterpoint to the vertical fence boards.

We will incorporate the retaining boards into the fence itself. We use pressure treated Douglas Fir for the posts (4X4, 4X6 or 6X6 depending on application) and set them approximately on 7 1/2´ centers. If the wall is more than 24" tall we incorporate an additional support post set between the fence posts and coming up to the top of the retaining boards. The retaining boards are horizontal 2X12 pressure treated Douglas Fir. To attach the boards to the posts we use galvanized bolts or lag bolts.

It is probably because we tend to overbuild our construction projects that we have never had a failure of a retaining wall.
