Retaining Wall Fencing: Mastering the Art of Elevated Installations

When it comes to fencing, the challenges multiply when you're dealing with a retaining wall. Elevation changes, soil pressure, drainage concerns, and structural load - these are just a few of the factors that require careful consideration. Unlike a standard flat-grade fence installation, every detail matters when you're perching a fence atop a retaining wall.

Proper Anchoring: The Foundation for a Secure Fence

The key to a successful retaining wall fence lies in the anchoring system. Surface-mounted posts simply won't cut it. Instead, we recommend using sleeves, core drilling, or engineered brackets to ensure your fence posts are mounted securely to the wall. This solid foundation is crucial for withstanding the unique stresses of an elevated installation.

Structural Compatibility: Ensuring the Wall Can Handle the Load

Before installing your fence, it's essential to work closely with wall engineers (when needed) to assess the retaining wall's capacity. The added weight and wind load of the fence must be compatible with the wall's structural integrity, especially in areas prone to high winds or unstable soil conditions. Proper planning upfront can prevent costly issues down the line.
