The Various Dimensions of the Retaining Walls and its Uses
Retaining the land slope to make the use of additional space is a very natural feature in Australia having undulating terrain. So, it might be a necessity rather than an option for you in Bunbury to put up retaining walls to access extra land. The retaining walls can be used in the residential complexes as well as in the general development. In the residential properties, the retaining walls are used to erect pools, gardens mini waterfalls, yards and retain the land from sliding onto the neighbouring land. In the hilly and uneven land, the retaining walls are used to extract plain land to build roads and make space for human dwellings.
The retaining walls can be of numerous categories and are used according to the needs. The gravity walls are the basic retaining walls having broader base tapering towards the top. The gravity walls are made out of loose rocks and blocks without proper binding and so it is inefficient for any height above 3 feet. These walls are mainly used in the garden and places which needs to have alluring appearance rather than the practical functionality to retain the natural essence. The piling retaining walls use the solid metal pole and are inserted deep down into the ground to provide the maximum durability to the lands. These can be used in places having more than 3 feet slopes and especially beside the roads to restrict the land from sliding. The cantilever retaining walls are similar to the piling walls but the stability and the durability increase with the added back arm to support the structure. With the added arm it gains the capacity to restrict the land not only on its side but the base too. The last kind of retaining walls are the anchored retaining walls which come with an anchor attached to the restricting hill slope. This is the most stable retaining wall and can be used in any project having any height or weight.
The rocky boulders, limestone cuts and all other stones can be used in your Bunbury house to get retaining walls for your garden. You can even use timber to construct a retaining wall, however, the timber should be well treated to face the environmental factors.
