How to Build a Wood Retaining Wall

Posted by John in Garden and Outdoors - (Comments Off)

For properties with uneven grounds and slopes, it may be a problem when it comes to gardening. Thankfully, such a situation can be fixed by building a retaining wall. A retaining wall can hold back a slope to alter the contours of your garden, supporting the soil that cannot be supported naturally. There are many different types of retaining walls available, such as counterfort walls and cantilever walls, all made of different materials.

If you’re looking into constructing a low retaining wall by yourself, try installing a wood retaining wall. It is not difficult to build a simple retaining wall, and a wood-based one is a great choice for small needs, or simply just to make a garden or yard look prettier. For walls less than three feet high, retaining walls made from wood are ideal for landscaping or out of necessity.

Before anything else, you will need to create a “cut” – an outline of the retaining wall. Use a shovel to create the cut, then cut four-by-four posts, and dig holes for them. For a stable retaining wall, the posts should be planted deep but be sure to check the building codes to find out exactly how deep they must be sunk. Pour concrete into the remaining spaces and level it, and let it dry for several days without disturbing it.

After the concrete is cured, fasten the wooden boards to the frame using strong carriage bolts. You’ve got a pretty wooden retaining wall now, but remember to dig a small tunnel underneath the wall and fill it with small rocks for drainage. While this wooden retaining wall is suitable for many people, if you require something stronger to withstand a greater pressure, you will need to construct larger retaining walls with the help of professional contractors.

The Evolution of Beds and Mattresses

Beds; everybody has them yet not much is known about how they were invented or how they became what they are today. For something so massively consumed, it’s time to educate ourselves about this mythical piece of furniture that would seem to have appeared from nowhere.

Beds and Mattresses

History outlines that the very first types of beds largely consisted of shrubbery and greenery piled on open ground.  In an attempt to increase comfort, there has also been evidence of ancient man creating a palette from rock in which to place the shrubbery – although it would be a fair assumption that this was most certainly more uncomfortable!

Progressing into ancient Egyptian times yet still many years BC, it is known that upper class citizens actually manufactured the first beds. This consisted of a hay or grass filled mattress which was supported via a frame made of gold. It was then discovered that over time the Egyptians began to fill their mattresses with wool or feathers to increase levels of warmth during the night.

The Renaissance Era introduced a much more luxurious adaptation of what the Egyptians began. The rough mattresses that were originally made of rags extracted from legumes were then covered with soft and luxurious sheets of silk.

Heading into the 20th century, the first spring mattresses were created in America as well as the orthopaedic bed with foam mattresses in the 1950’s. By the 1980’s the industry became a lot more creative with airbeds and water beds being introduced.

Although the mechanical adjustable bed had already been used in hospitals in the 1940’s, the 1990’s saw the introduction of electrical adjustable beds not only in hospitals but also within homes.

Beds have come along in leaps and bounds and with the now state of the art electrical beds, it’s safe to say goodbye to mounds of shrubs and leaves and hello to quality and luxurious sleep time.
