Timber Crib is a gravity retaining wall system that consists of a cellular framework of interlocking treated timbers, which are filled with a free draining rock or recycled stone.
Timber crib walling is sourced from sustainable, managed plantations and treated to provide a combined architectural/engineering solution that is durable, adaptable and aesthetically pleasing.
The wall is built on a concrete levelling strip, raked at 1:4 to form a 14° back lean.
