Here is an up-close shot of the bulkhead. It consists of almost 30 4x6 posts every 8 feet, buried about 3-4 feet into the ground. The back of the lot needed to be brought up almost 30 inches, so from this tree back the retaining wall is built by 16 foot long 3 x 12 whalers, one stacked on top of another, with an occasional 3 x 8 underneath that. From this tree forward, we needed just one 3 x 12 whaler to build the property up to the correct elevation. We then tacked on filter fabric and a nice clean top board to finish the job.
