Where did they go?? Damaged Retaining Wall and Fence - What do you think? 10Jun 14, 2011 9:05 pm KnockItDown Was there pictures to this post? Where did they go?? Yes, there were.. It's a shame the OP took them down, as even though he/she may not have agreed with the responses it was a good lesson for all prospective wall builders. Re: Damaged Retaining Wall and Fence - What do you think? 11Jun 15, 2011 5:26 pm I'm happy to put them back up for people to see. The reason I took the post away was that people were getting bogged down with all the other information that I had provided rather than answering the question I had asked. We are aware that the wall is on the opposite way to what it normally would be. We built it with an engineer and have also had 2 landscape gardeners take a look and all agreed that the way the planks are facing is not the problem and make no difference to the weight the wall can take. We have had a meeting with the builder and he will be speaking to the bobcat driver when he gets back from his holiday. I will let you know the outcome and put some pics back up when I get time. Thanks again for your suggestions.

You say the wall was built with an engineer, did they not specify backfill requirements and was someone (the wall builder) there to supervise the backfilling ? 4 11804 2 8346 Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that. Have a good day 4 6764 |
