Step by step construction:
Step one:
Level ground work and step the site if required.
==========================================
Step two:
Place posts at correct position, center to suit engineers specifications for height of wall. Make the posts a little longer than required and cut off after the wall is constructed.
eg: 1.2 height wall requires 1.2 meter centers of post in 150 X 150 sawn.
==========================================
Step three:
Level the first row and use galvanised bolts to fix this row in place. It is critical that the first row is correctly placed.
==========================================
Step four:
When the first row is fixed off, place the next row in place with the joints staggered. ie: Don't place joints from each row on top of each other. (This would weaken the wall)
==========================================
Step five:
Place drainage if required. It is advisable to construct the wall far enough away from the earth face the allow for screenings and drainage pipes to be easily placed . It also gives you room to move around the wall.
