Build A Panel & Post Retaining Wall!

You can raise your garden into flat levels to help manage rainwater by building a panel and post retaining wall. This wall can sometimes even be constructed by one person and is not difficult. Langley retaining walls are also helpful in warning people not to stroll in a particular region.

These days, walls don't always have to be boring, plain concrete. The key is taking precise measurements and making sure that every post is in a straight line. Precast panels in various patterns and colors are available from some providers.

Building Panel & Post Retaining Wall

• The location of your Panel and Post Retaining Wall should be your first choice when planning it. Consider the ramifications of your selected viewpoint and the outcome it will have.

• Cut a piece of wood to 1503mm in length. Later, this will be used to gauge the space between posts.

• Knock a peg firmly into the ground and place one at the start of the future wall. Next, tie a string at the wall's height. This height needs to be the same as the total number of panels used to build the wall.

• Place a second peg firmly into the earth along the eventual wall's length. At exactly the same height as the first peg, secure the string.

• Return to the first peg and begin digging a hole next to it. It is crucial to check that the hole's center is aligned with the peg above it. Typically, the hole should be twice as deep as the wall.

• Put the post in the hole at a depth where the string can pass through the middle of the top of the post. This string requires that the position be square.

• By placing a spirit level against the post's edge and moving the post until the string is still going through the center of the top, you can now confirm that the post is vertical.

• The cement needs to be mixed up next. For every component of cement in the mixture, there should be six parts of clean sand.

• Add water gradually until the desired consistency is reached.

• Fill the hole with cement, being careful not to knock the post out of alignment. Fill the hole with the material until it is flush with the ground.

• Measure the distance between the first post and the location of the second post using the wood you already cut. The panel length that will finally be installed matches this wood piece. Repeat the same procedures you used to set up the first post, ensuring the post is square to the string and at the proper height. Repeat this for every post along the planned wall's entire length. Always do this the same day the posts are installed to give the cement some wiggle room if necessary.

• Set the bottom panel into place at the first post you built. To make sure the panel is square, use the spirit level. The bottom panels should be inserted as you move down the wall. Add the second panel down, followed by any additional panels up to the desired wall height.

• Scrape 50mm from the top of the concrete in front of the posts while all the panels are in place and the cement is still pliable to prevent any future layer from getting in the way.

In this way, you can construct panels and post Langley retaining walls to safeguard your property.
