Cedar wall question

11 years ago

Hi! We are looking to a similar cedar wall, near a stacked stone retaining wall. Did you line the cedar with anything? Are the beams attached to each other, the side rocks, and the bottom pavers? Thanks!

Hi there, we back filled the wall with crushed gravel lined with filter cloth to keep the soil separate. Geo Grid anchors the wall into the grade. The boulders are set on gravel. We also used a 1' x 4" piece of cedar in between each 6x6 to create the shadow effect on the profile.
