Wood retaining wall to disguise a brick one

[beavercreek]

Nice work Mike.
If you want another alternative for the other side, you could use this plastic embossed sheet (Available from Steve Warrington at Back2Bay6 in different profiles - brick, stone etc).

Cheers Paul
Yes, I have used the Precision Plastics sheets from Steve for other things like wooden shakes for roofs, Aged planking for floors and wood siding. It is great stuff. I hadn't considered the 'stone block' sheets though.
Yours looks very good indeed....Mmmmmm...... (the sound of a dim man at thought).

Old Heinz building 'revamped' with Precision Plastics' wood siding, some 'aged' planking and the steel ribbed roofing

Pointrock Mercantile' building using a mixture of 'Precision Plastics' wooden shakes roofing with a patch of real wood ones. (I ran out of the Plastic sheeting and just had enough real shakes to finish the job)

Excellent, looks very real.

Did you cut the cedar yourself or is there a supplier of small planks etc?
