"galvanized Aluminium"? that sounds odd to me, and a quick google doesn't come up with anything all that promising. Zinc is more reactive than Al, especially anodized Al. I'd very much appreciate someone pointing me in the direction of an article on Galv Al, and why anyone would do that.

+Andrew Frink (Agent Cynyr) A mistake, he must mean anodised aluminium.

hi i don't get it...you join the army get injured and the government don't take care of you ..

doobysnacks commented on 26 Mar 2016

It's the nature of the warfare/welfare state.

+Eye Toldyoosso This is the Lady MacBeth in the room,why has the government washed their ever so white and soft hands of a problem which they initiated?More importantly why and how are they getting away with it?

iShootBandits commented on 25 Mar 2016

+Eye Toldyoosso Unfortunately this happens all too often when men and women serve their country. To the government you are just a number and once you are down or out they dont want to know because its easy to replace you with a new number .

Kevin nonchalantly says, "I brought a couple of carpenters". Norm and Tommy represent two of the finest Master Carpenters I'm aware of. I really miss "New Yankee".

I don't agree with war,and i really don't agree with the people that send kids to war. Have watched this old house for 35 years, will never agree with war.

Michael Lebert commented on 28 Mar 2016

Between interviews and visits to specialties stores there was less than two minutes of the total 22:31 show of hammers hammering or screws screwing. I'm a Vietnam veteran myself but I don't get it. When did the guys quit building stuff? We got some walls last time and there's a hint of a table next time but at over twenty minutes of NON-construction this isn't a construction show anymore.

twofargone commented on 06 Apr 2016

+PatrolOfficer161 ive been watching this show since i was 10 years old (1990)so i know what you mean. This old house is more of a personal/details orented show. each season is based on one project. ASK this old house is more like a how to do show. still a great show a bit for everyone

How to Build a Small Retaining Wall

User Comments

anchorwallsystems commented on 16 May 2013

These walls are designed to have a gravel footer so they can maintain a degree of flexibility. Normally you will not need concrete as the footer. You will, however, need to be careful if you are building a raised patio and you pour concrete as your patio. The wall and the patio will move differently in frost situations so you want to keep them separate.

anchorwallsystems commented on 04 Apr 2013

Thank you for viewing our video and asking for our feedback. The video is showing removing the rear lip for the base course of block. This is being done to ensure a full, even contact of the block with the gravel. This is intended to make it easier to level the block and ensure a more stable wall. Please contact us if you have further questions.

anchorwallsystems commented on 20 Sep 2013

With a wall that low drainage is less critical. You should still plan to backfill behind the block with a clean angular stone such as limestone or granite. Unless the hill continues to climb dramatically behind the wall, pressure should be minimal on your block - and you could use nearly any of our systems for a wall under 18” tall.

burtonkidd commented on 01 Oct 2012

Don't know if this is to late but go down the depth of your block plus an extra few inches and level off your base with screening (fine gravel & sand) level out your first row length and width and lay down your bottom layer and stagger your joints and use PL premium to glue your blocks together.

rukeyser commented on 27 Apr 2013

this video is really helpful - but i wan a very shallow wall - to stop erosion into the street from a slightly sloped tree-lawn strip. I would only need one stone's height above ground at the most. are these the best bricks for that - or can you recommend something more appropriate?

anchorwallsystems commented on 16 May 2013

These blocks would work well for your project, but you may want to consider a cap to give it finished look. The design of the block allows for curves, which is why they are tapered towards the back. This gives them a joint between blocks – and the cap would hide this.

flycessna12 commented on 09 Sep 2013

My along my driveway is about a 12-16 inches above the level of my drive way. Building a wall like this along my driveway will I need to be concerned about drainage? and with the wall only being 2 to 3 bricks high should I be concerned about pressure on the wall?

S Shan commented on 04 Jul 2015

I want to have just one line of retaining wall along wooden fence on three sides because the soil along the fence is eroding which prevents grass from growing as there is no soil contact. I want to lay sod for the inside of the retaining wall. Can I do this?

givant commented on 25 Apr 2012

it depends how tall your wall is going to be, usually is about 6 inches below the ground for anything up to 2 feet, you need to level out the base, throw some gravel and then, on top of the gravel, you need stone dust to make it as flat as possible.

Aggie1286 commented on 07 May 2013

If the retaining wall is going to be the border of a raised patio, does it need a concrete footer? The wall will be about 2 feet tall at its highest point.

burtonkidd commented on 01 Oct 2012

forgot to say you want to bury one row of brings and tamp the area around the blocks to form a solid platform.

Dian Partlow commented on 04 Apr 2016

I've just made it. If you want you can learn on woodprix website how to make it.Best solutions I think.

flycessna12 commented on 09 Sep 2013

I meant the level of my front yard is about 12-16 inches higher than my driveway

Xin Tan commented on 16 Jan 2013

Why do u need to chisel the brick? Only the first brick or everyone of them? Thx

SuperDerezzed commented on 21 Apr 2012

how do you prepare the base? material for and how many inches of the base?

Peg Schnickmann commented on 12 Apr 2016

You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.

StoneMakers™ commented on 01 Oct 2013

Really well layed out and clear video! Good job!

Lee Robinson commented on 16 Sep 2012
