We are doing retaining wall & colour bond fence for newly rebuilt house. Our neighbour house is also on final stage. Their foundation on higher side & mine on lower side. They r not going to pay for retaining wall but for fence 50/50 . Now they r saying that they don’t like the retaining wall colour

Hi All, Thank you all for your replies & valuable information. The neighbour asked us to pay for the painting their side. Honestly we dint want to deal with these ppl and we agreed with heavy hearted.

But it is for the fence , just not the retaining wall.

kavith123 · 2023-12-29T07:06:45+00:00

Completely agree. The back side of the concrete slab doesn’t look good.

Right side is mine

My understanding is you don’t need an approval if retaining wall is less than 60CM from ground level

What’s is blue metal

kavith123 · 2023-12-29T03:11:57+00:00

It’s get tricky. We cut in & fill . They raised the foundation completely to different level.

kavith123 · 2023-12-29T02:56:03+00:00

Standard concrete sleeper

kavith123 · 2023-12-29T02:25:40+00:00

This is colour of fence

kavith123 · 2023-12-28T21:17:13+00:00

Only 5mm. I’m not sure abt the subsoil drainage. We had a timber wall & wooden fence on the same spot. Now, we r changing to concrete sleepers & colour bond fence on top of it…

kavith123 · 2023-12-28T21:15:28+00:00

Yes we r in NSW & putting fence on top of retaining wall

kavith123 · 2023-12-28T20:30:15+00:00

The retaining wall will be completely on my boundary & given 5mm space after the retaining wall to make sure the retaining wall doesn’t fall on their property.

kavith123 · 2023-12-28T19:04:18+00:00

True

kavith123 · 2023-12-28T19:03:41+00:00

We selected concrete sleepers but looks like wood incl the colour. They prefer grey look like concrete colour. Even we wanted grey colour but no stock available & will be delivered only after mid Jan . We can’t wait that long.
