Great work. 🙂 Screws often loosen due to vibrations. I think small riverts will hold longer and better here. They are even smoother and less sharp even if they protrude to the other side of the sheet. 🙂
Does the ground freeze Where You Are? I'm up in Canada and we get about 3 to 4 ft a frozen ground every winter I don't know if that aluminum would hold up from the side pressure. Nice job though. Looks good.
It does freeze. The aluminum is surprisingly strong when screwed to the frame. It’s been up for almost a year now and has easily held up the weight of the ground behind it.
Hey! We're in Utah as well and the cheap corrugated metal one that our landscapers installed is failing after 1 year. What was the cost per sheet if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks! @@JedsGarage. I just called them and it looks like the price is about $95-$100 now a sheet, but still good! We're definitely going to do this! Now the next big question: Aluminum or Galvanized Steel? They're about the same cost for the same thickness. Also, did you do .04 aluminum? They said they don't measure aluminum in gauges, but that that was the closest to 20ga they carried.
You definitely made me just spend the extra on a trampoline made for in ground kit came with the retaining wall
We love the look of it plus it’s plenty strong.

Good idea.

How has the sheet metal held up to the dirt over the years?
Been several years and still like a tank.

Like 80$ per sheet about 4 years ago. Still holding up like a tank too. Metal mart in Lehi

What did you put u see earth to absorb water? Did you put in drainage pipe anywhere?
No. It’s in Utah. Really dry and the ground slopes.
