The creation of terraces on the site involves strengthening horizontal soil ledges with retaining walls. Structurally walls can be light or capital. Light retaining structures are created more for decorative targets in areas with low swelling of the soil. For reliability, it is better to build a capital wall.
The durability of the capital wall is determined by the observance of the basic rules for its construction. First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the construction of the foundation, which should be deeper than 0.5 m and more than 20 cm in width. The strength of the foundation determines the durability of the wall as a whole. After installing the sub -items, windows are installed in a wooden house usually do this by specialists.
The material for the construction of the foundation is selected in accordance with the estimated weight of the structure. For wooden structures, it will be enough to build a gravel pillow, and stone and brick walls are built on a concrete foundation with a high bearing capacity.
The retaining wall made of natural stone looks very natural. The dimensions of the starting material are selected when designing a site, but the main requirement is reduced to a tight fit of individual elements. When installing this type of wall, stiffeners are necessarily constructed.
Concrete retaining walls are efficient and high -bearing capacity. In this case, there is the possibility of creating walls of small thickness due to the strength of the material. Subsequently, the wall can be lined with any decorative material.
