I'll start by showing some pics of the proposed site -
I've never known what to do with the area, it's quite large so could become a handy sitting space to look out over the garden. I'm an electrician by trade but really want to do this project by myself (with a bit of help).
I have one concern though, the garden has previously been 'dug into' to make room for a garage. A retaining wall was then built but as you can see there is an overhang of earth above this retaining wall.
I will need to concrete in some 4x4 posts but I'm not sure how to approach it with the garden just stopping like that, does that make sense? Should I remove this earth first to create an even slope and then dig my posts in?
So first things firtst will be getting the 4x4 posts in, any advice or ideas would be appreciated, what would you do etc
Cheers guys.
