I am building a form to pour a reinforced concrete retaining wall.
It is 28 ft long with a slight bend at 14′.
It is 2′ wide throughout except for a small section 3′ wide near the bend. The height varies from 5′ on one end to only 3′ at the other.
The form walls are 14′ 2×10’s stacked on edge with 2×4 uprights every 3′
I have braced the 3 corners with doubled 2x lumber and plan to brace every upright with single 2x’s
As it stands now the form is securely pressed to the crumbling block retaining wall that exists.
I have had experience with shoreishoringlarge comerccommercialefore, nevertheless I am wondering if there is anyone who might calm my nerves about filling this creation. And ideas would be welcome!
