Does Terraforce work for retaining?

Does the terraforce  product for retaining work well and how does an open end of a straight run be finished off to lock that last terralite block.

Re: terraforce retaining

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @mechanical2. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Terralite blocks.

Terralite blocks are exceptionally durable, easy to install, and look great. The interlocking blocks withstand significant pressure, prevent soil erosion, and adapt to various landscaping needs, including straight, curved, and terraced walls. They also come in different finishes and colours for a customised look.
 

The open end of a straight run is finished by staggering the upper layers to offset their joints. Blocks can be cut if necessary to fit the end space tightly, then secured in place with concrete adhesive. Properly backfill and compact the soil behind the last block to lock it in place. You can see a number of finished-end examples on the Terraforce webpage.


Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: terraforce retaining

Can we do 90 degree corners with terraforce product to continue around corner ?

Re: terraforce retaining

Hi @mechanical2,

 

The product is better suited to sweeping corners, but sharp corners are achievable. For information, see the installation guide and the image below.
