For anyone considering something like this, don't attach your bed to the fence in any way. If you have to repair or replace the fence in the future you'd have an issue here. Just include a back wall. And leave out the foundation with a garden bed, you want good drainage and you're not building a retaining wall. I realize this is mostly an ad for the blocks but still...

@@Bob-qm6cy I'm not a licensed builder, but if you're putting in a retaining wall which is holding back a good deal of soil, a footer and proper set back is definitely the way to go. Some places require a footer if the wall is over a certain height or has a certain slope above it, you'd have to check local building code. When the soil gets saturated, and especially if you have freezing weather, the pressure would be very high. I see tons of yard edgers that are 1-2' tall and are all bowing out because of a steep slope above it and the use of weak material. So there's a time and place for the heavy duty materials for sure.

Hello there. Does the back wall have to be versawall as well? Or can I use timber sleepers on a post?
@Sturroboi
@Sturroboi 2 жыл бұрын
@@enriquelondres6134 might be too late for your project now, but FYI I did a front end retainer wall and did timber sleepers held in with galvanised metal beams ("h posts" and "end posts") on the back end to keep it off the fence. Days worth of extra effort but worth it as i now have no worries about my fence. Connecting the corners of the posts with the versawall wall was a bit awkward. In hindsight I'd start with the rear side timber sleep wall first then, line up your versa wall to instead of the opposite order which is what I did. Take your time to get the measurements right.

I came here to say the same thing, I'm about to lay a small retaining wall and the blocks laid this way up leave the U channel (which I assume is for drainage) at the top, so you are likely to end up with the bottom row with about 4 inches of water with nowhere to go. If 'upside down' the U channel will allow the water to move and also key the bottom row to the base. Finally with the lugs down the coping stones can just sit without altering the block.

Adbri, thanks for making this look so easy. This is my question and yes, probably also my problem. Ok, so on the left side of the house (left, by standing at the street and looking towards the house) at the back of the yard there is probably a five or so foot hill against the wood planked fence that boarders/divides the easement space between this yard and the home behind. We would like to turn this hill into a terraced garden with a minimum of three levels (3-4 two foot gardens staggered up the hill, each section being 2-3 ft. tall, with the final level being at the top). I should also probably mention that this hill is only approximately 10-12 ft rounded with an old set of stairs going up the center. The left side of the hill is probably all of 1-3 ft away from the next door neighbors backyard fence, so there isn't a whole lot of space on that side. What is your best advise for DIY installing this terraced garden? Do you already have a video out that would help us?

Hi Suzy, Thank you for the comment! It sounds like you've got a complex project ahead of you, it will be well worth it in the end when you can enjoy it from your Outdoor Room! We don't have a video that specifically addresses your questions... However we highly recommend that you seek some engineering advice before building this wall. Garden beds that are staggered up a hill will most likely exceed the maximum unreinforced height of a retaining wall block (depending on which product you are using). For example, Versawall can only reach 800mm high before engineering is needed. If you build up to 800mm and then add a garden bed and another 800mm wall, this would already have exceeded the maximum unreinforced height! It would be best to speak with a qualified engineer before progressing. I hope that helps - Good luck with your project!

Hi there, thank you! They are fixed together through the interlocking wings on each block. The free draining aggregates that you backfill with will also add strength to the wall. For the cement and sand mixture mix it dry. You can wet it to make it slightly damp. This will act as a stabilized bedding for the blocks. You can place the block immediately down, no need to wait.

Do you add water to the sand cement mixture? You mention to mix it dry but when you level it, and lay the bricks it looks a bit wet - which is it? And if you do add water, how much? I have just tried doing as you state (mixed it dry then laid and levelled it (no water added) and it was a complete nightmare - the blocks did not sit well (tended to sink into the sand cement mix) so I had to add more sand to get them to the correct height then use a rubber mallet to get them level (which defeated the purpose of getting the layer of sand/cement level at all - which took hours). This process took many many hours to do the first row and now I am not sure if this is ok to put the rest of the wall on (I'm guessing the additional weight will make it sag/move). Surely there is a better way to do this. Its looking like I need to rip the whole lot up and start again with advice from a professional.
@AdbriMasonryAus
@AdbriMasonryAus 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Tim. It hasn’t been communicated well in this video, but although you mix the sand and cement dry, once mixed you can spray some water in to the point that the mix is slightly damp. Also, when screeding you still need to press the sand down slightly to make it reasonably firm. At 4:15 you can see Jason doing this. If this has been done and the depth of compacted roadbase is 100mm, and screeded sand/cement is 30mm, this should be able to support the blocks without sinking. Please feel free to email adbrimarketing@adbri.com.au if you have further questions. Best of luck, Adbri Masonry Team

Hi Maciej. While we haven't added water to the mix, this sand and cement will harden over time. But working with it dry means you can still tap the blocks level as you're building, while the base remains fairly firm. If you were to add water to the mix initially you would need to get the first course down quickly before it drys, after which you wouldn't have the flexibility of fixing any sections that aren't level.

Hi Eduardo, timber looks good for a little while, but even treated pine starts to warp and rot over time. In a few years it will look old and tired and probably need replacing. Concrete masonry is built to last, so you'd only have to build this garden bed once.

@AdbriMasonryAus
@AdbriMasonryAus 4 жыл бұрын
Is there a particular block you're looking at using? You would also need to consider the height of the wall to include how much blue metal you need to backfill behind the wall. If you can let me know the block, height and length of the wall, I'll be able to work out the required aggregate (blue metal) for you.

@@sinjitsu No problem, in this case we allow for 300mm of blue metal behind the wall for drainage, and approximately 100mm for the cavity in the blocks. So 400mm x 400mm height x 16m length = 2.56m3. If you order 2.5 cubic metres of blue metal, that will be ample to fill the blocks and backfill behind the wall.

No mortar. These blocks are engineered so that their weight, combined with the weight of aggregate in the cores, is enough to retain soil up to four courses high. If you'd like any more information I can email you a brochure on the Versawall blocks.

The hardy board was not a good idea, it is porous and without a proper vapor barrier and air gap between the bed and wood fence, it will cause the fence to rot. It would have been better to have built a 4 sided box with sufficient air gap between fence and bed.

Had a neighbor spend $400 repairing my fence because he did this. The weight of the gravel and soil caused my fence to bend and buckle. This might be a good idea on the side of a house but NEVER do this against a fence.
@AdbriMasonryAus
@AdbriMasonryAus 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Leonard, sorry to hear that happened. Can I ask how high they built their garden bed and if they put Villerboard between the garden and the fence? So long as the garden bed was 800mm or less in height, the weight shouldn't have buckled the fence, unless there were plants with aggressive root growth in the garden. On another note, building a garden bed against a house can leave the house susceptible to termite attack.

Why do you add cement to the sand? Will it set when it rains and then drys out?
@AdbriMasonryAus

Adding cement to the sand used for the base helps to make a more stable base. It doesn't set to the extent of a concrete slab, but it does harden enough to help hold up a stable garden bed wall.
