@Constable_Savage That's a great idea, agree the wooden steps could be hazardous so best avoided.
@stevo_com Budget might force me that way but it might not be so bad as @MrSweary points out!
@WjPrince I get what you mean about the batons, last thing I want is the whole thing collapsing. Did you use gravel or any sort of draining tile for drainage? Don't suppose you've any pics?
I was under the impression I wouldn't be able to terrace it like you suggest as it would compromise the sidewalls, I'm not actually sure how deep they run.
As per (sort of) @WjPrince vertical batons, my sleepers appear to be drilled through their width and rebar driven through to the on beneath to tie them in place. They were there before I moved in which was 14 years ago and they haven't rotted yet. The walls are three sleepers high.
