  • Looks great. How are you going to stop the clay slope sliding onto your shed rear wall in the future, is there more concrete behind the yellow shuttering at the rear?

  • There's a small base to the wall, i'll put in some drainage behind and possibly more into the slope. Then I'm reducing the pitch of the slope a bit to relieve some of the pressure. I'll probably plant some nice deep rooted shrubs up there too.
    The wall is 20cm thick and well reinforced too. It's not ideal, I'd liked to have been able to push the concrete out under the slope a bit more but with restricted access and bad weather it wasn't possible to take out any more. But I think it's already better than it was before. Also the wall and eventual framing should spread some of the side load on that post at the rear, especially as we get can get big dumps of snow in the winter, I did have slight concerns before about the whole structure folding and tearing half my house down.
