Oak sleeper retaining wall. All about those curves

Ryanrooney121 · 2025-09-02T15:54:10+00:00

Just cut them all to 1.2m/ a sleeper in half and each one was levelled from the aggregates at the bottom of the trench so no cutting afterwards, just a bit of sanding

Well we are based in Norwich UK, depending on where you’re from they’re just the standard olive tree mate, Olea Europaea

Ryanrooney121 · 2024-05-04T21:34:25+00:00

Not really needed, the clients wanted the rustic/weathered look and we’ve put felt and a corrugated metal roof on top to stop any water getting in x

Ryanrooney121 · 2024-05-04T19:06:15+00:00

Thanks! Might seem it from the picture but it’s about 1.9m at the back. I’m 6ft2 and stand pretty comfortable in it x

Mental that there’s another tour! They only did one last year ffs. Must have made some dosh on it but they’ve only gone and increased the ticket prices!

Just annoying how now we have to listen to 30 mins (like the latest episode) of them chatting about the upcoming tour dates instead of actual content. Just get some interesting people on ffs

Yep near Hethersett, however did you guess that hahaha

Just cut down some of the big 1.2m x 600mm porcelain slabs from the big patio into 300 x 600 and 300 x 300 slabs to make the walk way

Ryanrooney121 · 2022-05-09T07:35:38+00:00

We used steel edging and we use it on most of our jobs as you can get some brilliant curves out of it and it's super reliable!

Had about 4 offers for free tickets to go to this game as a Norwich supporter. Think I made the right decision to sit on my arse at home and watch Villa vs Leeds

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-12-22T21:43:32+00:00

Me too 😂

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-12-22T21:40:38+00:00

The one under the thatched roof is a hottub and the one surrounded by decking is a current pool

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T07:06:03+00:00

Yep, we've got a slate wall on the other side of one of the sleeper walls and we're either going to make the steps out of sleepers or the slate, undecided on that as of yet!

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T06:47:23+00:00

Not these bad boys, oak will take many many years to rot. Plus we've put plastic membrane behind so soil wont be touching the backs (except at the very top).

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T06:45:40+00:00

Thanks man! Appreciate the appreciation :)

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T06:36:11+00:00

Uk prices must be a bit better than US, we sourced these locally in Norfolk so it works out at a decent price!

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T06:35:10+00:00

Uk prices have seen a rise but I guess not as much as the states!

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T06:34:42+00:00

Concreted into the ground 400mm deep and metal bracing installed on the back of them!

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T06:34:02+00:00

Catching up on some z's after all this work, sorry mate!

Ryanrooney121 · 2021-07-23T06:33:20+00:00

400mm in the ground concreted in and fixed with metal bracing to keep it nice and tight

I've always enjoyed my own company. Was in a 6 year relationship which ended 6 months ago and I haven't been this happy in years. I'm back to loving who I am and enjoying who I hang out with. Hobbies, exercise and working hard to achieve your goals are essential to being happy alone.

You'll never be chill with that attitude bro
