I had considered using retaining wall blocks but I was unsure if it was a project I could do successfully. Are there some directions someone could point me to which has pictures of the process to follow?
thanks.
Retaining wall contruction questions.
One side of my pole barn was built on a raised soil base. Over the last 8 years, the soil has slowly been eroding away. I have some pictures but I don't think I can attach them.
Anyway, I am trying to figure out the best option for a retaining wall. I happen to have nine 6"x8"x18' logs left over from our log home construction. I would like to use these since I need to get them out of my garage and they are free
They are not treated so I would need some way to treat them for outdoor exposure to water and dirt. Does anyone know how I could treat these logs to use for the retaining wall? Also, is this even a feasible solution?
I have also considered using treated plywood with veritical support posts.
The wall would only need to be about 2 1/2 feet tall.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
