Galvanized steel piling
Finishing up my house. Back yard is last thing I have to do. It's got a
hillside that slopes down maybe 20 degrees to the back my house. I need to put retaining walls to keep this hillside from ending up in my bedroom during next year's heavy rain. This evening, while taking my walk, I followed a dry creekbed that had been shored up in places with heavy guage galvanized corrugated sheet metal. Looks very much like this stuff: http://www.cajunmarineconstruction.c...ing_Walls.html It actually looked pretty good to me, as I tend to go with non-traditional landscape treatments wherever I can get away with it. I liked the industrial feel, and it looked like the metal walls had been in place for at least a couple of decades with little or no corrosion. The stuff is perfect for my application, but I don't have any experience with it. Especially whether it's something a handy guy could install himself, or even where to buy it within a reasonable distance of my house (California Central Coast). Anybody ever work with this stuff? -Frank -- Here's some of my work: http://www.franksknives.com |
