Curved Retaining Wall

I'm building a retaining wall as well be about 4 feet high. I built the lines before and always used a string of a straight line. But with a curved wall which would be the best way to ensure it has a perfect curve for her? It will be of the type is in the form of a 6, but not as round or dramatic. So anyone has any ideas?

Buy songs and use it as a guide. There are also things called "Bullet Border" which is shaped like a ball, those that work well too.

Draw a line on your footer then just lay the bricks, as always following the line and use the level to keep it upright.

Put a stake in the ground a few meters from where the wall will be built. Make sure it is exactly in the middle of where you want the curve to be. Get a string and tie one end to the stake in the ground, then something like a tie rod or perhaps a screwdriver to the other ... Pull the string tight and "draw" with your screwdriver / wrench "into the ground. You can adjust your chain length, etc. to get the radius of your choice.

As you do this as a 6, just repeat for each curve. Should work well!

Your answering machine with the stick and the chain has the right idea for determining the radius. You need to buy my chain curve. Just kidding. Use the same stick and string to mark a piece of cardboard. Cut the shelf and put the box where you are and start from your wall. If it is a brick wall, you can use plywood instead of cardboard and use plywood to line the brick after installation and grading of each course. On a small radius that could be a heavy piece of plywood! I recently worked on a four-storey brick clad building with a large radius and we have used eight feet long by 8 1 s cutting radius. They were used to align the bricks after leveling. We used the lines Jack (son vertical or chains) every 7 feet 4

inches. This eliminated the plumbing and also kept the head joints aligned. If you want to try the lines of Jack, you can take a piece of plywood that is the remains and put in place on the earth you stand back and make it coincide with the form is below. Jack Lay a line or two courses of brick and set near the ends of your form from the bottom of the brick at the top of the plywood. Good luck
