I want the wall to be 6ft high (hit and miss fence pailings).
On the inside of the fence in the garden there will be about 1 metre of backfill. I'm not sure which is best... 10 feet post within the retaining wall itself, sunk 1 foot in existing soil then another 3 foot from the newly retained backfill (on the inside) only 1 foot on the other side. So there will be 4ft of support on the inside of the fence.
Retaining wall - foundations - 10cm of crushed stone then 20cm of concrete (high or deep) and 40cm wide for the foundation. The wall itself will be breeze blocks - 2 rows - 2 x 100mm blocks.
The 10ft wooden Posts (10cm x 10cm) will be spaced out 1.8m . There would obviously be support from the sides - from being inside the 3foot wall and concreted around and more lateral support from concrete at the base.
- would this suffice?
or should i put the fence posts on the inside of the wall?
Or could I build the wall 1 foot higher and have a 5 foot fence and use fence post brackets and insert the wooden fence posts on top of the wall?
thanks for looking.
