[@mightyquin4955]

You should use Large Concrete blocks for your flat shooting berm. You can purchase them from a concrete company. They are around 4'L x 3'H x 2'T, with ridges and grooves to interlock them. They also have a loop on the top to pick them up. You can then put the RR ties in front and replace them as needed while keeping the Structural integrity of the Berm.

[@brianstone4302]

Indeed

[@gregoryhelton6646]

I came to say the same thing, we bought a bunch from a concrete plant that shut down and use them for EVERYTHING lol.

[@warrenharrison9490]

Definitely needs a solid structure behind the ties, as those ties erode from use and age.

[@Syphirioth]

Anyone even knows how long these train ties last?? Even when used by a train track they last 7 to 10 years with severe pounding on it day in day out. And are only replaced cause of the safety for the train track. So they probably last for 20 years over there without problem. Especially between gravel and rocks. If water flows away easily they will last realy long. They usually rot because they lay in water when it rains. I think the retaining wall wont hold much water. Also wood absorbs bullets better than concrete.

[@mightyquin4955]

@@Syphirioth I have a RR tie back stop for shooting and I only shoot a few full magazines a month and I have had to replace 2 ties after 2 years of shooting. Given the volume and large calibers Matt and his friends use, they will be pounding that berm and need to replace some ties sooner rather than later.

[@CamHanlan]

My first thought was "oh you should have done that first" good to see the plan shift to a proper retaining wall design. Was a bit worried there at first haha.

[@blowinshtup6553]

[@marvindebot3264]

I have a feeling one of them told Mere and she stepped in and said "nope".

[@MissingNo_99]

For that retaining wall. Those 4 and 8 foot sections locking it in to the hillside CANT be EVERY row. You’ll need to do it every 4-5 rows so that it interlocks in with the gravel and actually holds it in place. Doing it every level will provide very little structural integrity compared to alternating

[@waynedrummond6583]

as a Architect and builder with engineering experience as well, I fully endorse the proposal to alternate your horizontal anchors into the berm. It allows the weight of the berm itself to act as a cohesive structural unit and give more friction to locking around the anchors.

[@halhortonsworld5870]

Here is a tip to make that container far more useful out there: We used these as offices and housing in Trashcanistan. You just open the doors all the way and pin them back out of the way. Then build a wall with a locking door in the open end of the container. It makes it much easier to get in and out of. We also set a mini-split there so we had heating and ac inside. Pouring dirt on top, then covering with cammo netting helps keep the temps down in the summer.
