List of featured suppliers of RETAINING WALLS Timber on Building Products Index
A retaining wall is a structure that is designed to hold back soil or other materials. Timber retaining walls are constructed using timber as the main structural element of the wall. The timber can be pressure-treated to increase its durability. The wall is built by placing large pieces of timber in a trench dug into the ground and securing them in place with steel rebar or other fasteners. Multiple layers of timber may be used to increase the wall's height. Timber retaining walls are commonly used in landscaping and construction projects to prevent erosion and to create level areas for building or planting.
