Hi - can you give me any advice on construction of raised beds (700mm high) and retaining walls (1400mm high with 1000mm of soil behind)? Single or double skinned? Is reinforcement needed? What foundations? etc etc I believe I need a structural engineer to check design but no local ones can look at the job for a few weeks and I would like some idea of what I'm dealing with before then.

Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

Sharon,
Are we talking on the deck here, or on a hillside?
