How the heck do you ensure those walls get pounded in straight? What if the wall starts hitting something below the earth, like a giant boulder and it sends it off course?
They first take the backhoe and scoop down five feet across the entire area to remove rocks. So you are pounding into pure mud. Simple level and horizontal beam keeps everything level. Each panel is slotted and guides off the last one driven. Pretty simple.
It sucks when you don’t have the option to dig it out first and hit stones and what not , just gotta keep pulling and re driving sheets till you get them to sit nice , most sheetpile walls people do are horrible lol but they come out straight and plumb if you don’t rush it too much
Not sure about cost of wood. The fiberglass product we used here if memory serves was about $120 a foot. You have to add other costs like the the 15 truck loads of dirt we had to haul in to replace what had washed away over the years. The fiberglass is the way to go. We have lost very little if any dirt since completing the wall. But it is expensive.
JASTIKA Wood & Metal DIY Projects I’m partially rebuilding a customers sea wall made from 2x6 treated tongue and groove boards. We have to dig out the land side and add dead man anchors to it. Never done it before, it’s a 48 foot section...
@@ZoeyTheGSP Should be a fun project. The other pro with fiberglass is the product is suppose to last 50 years. Now that is what the vendor said. Who knows if it is true or not. I will be long dead by that time. So far it appears to be pretty durable.
