Environmentally friendly structural walls
Environmentally friendly structural Timber Retaining Walls
Timber structural environmentally friendly walls were designed over 40 years ago.
They were originally designed to last for around 50 years . We have been designing and building them since 1984.
Recently we were asked to carry out some minor repairs to a wall that had been built approximately 23 years ago, on Long Island
Amazingly well preserved !
Once we had exposed the back face of the wall, it was clear that the timber was almost in the same condition as when the wall had been constructed. You can see here a few examples.
If you are looking for an environmentally friendly, long lasting in expensive wall you may want to take a longer look, if you would like to make the wall truly green, i.e. a planted wall then TimberGrid is maybe for you.
Check out some more information here Walls.
