this is my very first post.. been watching this site for a while and has been great I need to think of something to retain this wall.. behind it there is a 1.8M high rendered fence. Was thinking of a rock wall but now thinking some bricks might suit better.. Will these need concrete footing? http://www.abcbricksales.com.au/cgi-bin ... st&Option= I'm open to any suggestions Cheers Cam Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Another retaining wall Question 2Sep 17, 2008 11:05 pm If you lived in WA I'd say limestone would be perfect

You don't need footings for them if under a certain height, but I would do footings for any wall I build even if using those mortarless type things.

Very happy with the job Just stumped on the small amount of retaining .. might build all together with a water feature or something.. Cheers Cameron Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that. Have a good day 4 5099 Thanks for the insights, that makes perfect sense, and yeah, I will be leaning on the experience of the excavator operator entirely. 6 16043 Hi All, I engaged a tradie to install concrete retaining wall 600-800mm high over 32 meters in Victoria.
