Hello Everyone,
How can I add something to act as a retaining wall or curb to a new fence I am building? The soil I want to hold back varies in height from about 2 inches to about 6 inches higher on the finished side of the fence.
I was thinking of stacking two 4 x 4s and toenailing them to the 4 x 4 fence posts with something like 8 inch spikes. Also, I am considering driving rebar through the bottom 4 x 4 to anchor it to the ground.
One of the reasons for doing this is to provide support for interlocking which will be placed on the finished side of the fence which is also has the higher grade.
I welcome any better ideas than mine or any improvements.
Thanks!
