BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW 👀
A retaining wall and the fence above it aren’t always treated separately.
Depending on how they’re designed and connected, the wall, fence and privacy screening can be considered together when assessing things like overall height, structural loads and approval requirements.
That means adding a fence to an existing retaining wall isn’t always as simple as just bolting some posts on top.
The retaining wall needs to be suitable for the extra wind load and forces created by the fence — particularly with taller or solid fencing such as Colorbond.
Build it right the first time.
