Building a garden block wall - Ep 3

Today I build the garden block wall

[@FloatingCroc]

1st time I’ve ever seen thermalites used as a retaining wall…….🤔🤔🤔

[@shelleyshell1150]

The garden area is nicely framed out! Lots of room for planting!!!!

[@JohnTaylorR-A-G]

It’s going to be lovely.

[@heyfister]

Does the soil side have to be lined to protect the finished stucco/rendered side from water or leave it bare? Im building planters and want them stucco finished but worried about water inside the planter ruining the finished side

[@themudhutt1]

Nice . Are you ‘doing’ the rest of the garden as well ?

[@darrenthebuilder]

We should be doing the patio in the future

[@zorro6339]

What was the base you used to lay the first blocks?

[@thomaswright2614]

How deep a foundation for a two high concrete block raised bed guys? cheers

[@ourdiscovery325]

sorry but those blocks isn't holding anything back. can probably punch through one.

[@shoaibabbas13]

Can you do a detailed video when you next do the k rend ?

[@fuzmaginty5822]

they have done one and its fab

[@philstation335]

Nice job dar....how come you did it in thermals?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thanks Mainly because they just easier to work with and it’s a small wall. I know there’s myths out their about them lol but they great blocks and can even be used in foundations. I’m also going to Krend both sides and line with DPM.

[@philstation335]

Yea I see som brickies using them for extentions etc and suppose wen ther set ther strong

[@nikhilmalhotra29]

Hey, looks great! How deep do the footings need to be for a wall like this? I wanted to try myself out of concrete blocks? Are the blcoks you use lighter?

[@MarcusT86]

Weird question but do you workout/lift weights in your spare time to help with your fitness for doing jobs?

[@JohnTaylorR-A-G]

He clearly works out enough while actually working, bro.

[@MarcusT86]

@@JohnTaylorR-A-G Not necessarily. His body may be accustomed to the stresses of his job, but if a person lifted weights and had excellent strength they may find this line of work far easier.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hey Marcus, no I don’t go to the gym. Work is enough for me lol. It’s a workout in itself. End of the day I’m ready for bed 🤣
