This video shows how to build a simple wood retaining wall in under 3 minutes, followed up with more detail on some of the optional elements like running a string line, attaching timbers with rebar, adding dead men, drilling weep holes, and more. Products I used are linked below. Let me know in the comments if you liked the quick build format. Find links to all these items here: https://shoplowes.me/46u1070 You can support this channel by using my product links. Also, do you call them "dead men" or "dead legs?" Does anyone else beside my grandpa and me call them dead backs? Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/building_with_blake/
