  How long would you expect this wall to last ?

  Thanks for watching my channel and your question with the style of wall. I have never been back yet to replace one. There is a 50 year warranty on the vinyl and with the pilings being wrapped with Piling wrap we should never have a problem with the Torito board worms eating them.

• 
  @DaleWHickmanКүн бұрын

  Thanks for your comment and watching . I’m really sure but in the area where there could potentially be a deep end I installed the Manay earth anchors at a steeper angle so they could dig down a little deeper without disturbing the tieback system. I believe 6 to 7 are installed in that area. If this doesn’t work for the pool, they went to install. I can always modify the Anchor system when the pool is going in. This has been done in the past.

You could try Coastal products Plus or Meredith Lumber. It’s the same company or two companies in the same area they will sell online. They’re located in Gulf Breeze. But yes, I would use a 12 foot thread type 3/16 stainless steel rod. Keep on watching. I really appreciate it again!

  Those pilings are lined up perfectly. I suppose you use batter boards to run the strings. How do you know where to put the batter boards ? Do you eye it before you pull the strings? Would 6 inch pilings be enough on a lake? I know strings are simple but important. Just a suggestion. Could you possibly show how you setup the strings on one of your next jobs? Keep up the good work.

  What is the life expectancy of a wooden wall like that and why wood rather that vinyl or block retaining wall? just curious.

• 
  @DaleWHickman2 күн бұрын

  Wood walls out of the water do offer a warranty wants in the water. There is no warranty at all because of Tito bore worms. Some vinyl comes with a 50 year and other vinyls come with a lifetime warranty. The reason why I would use the wood or vinyl along the shoreline is because I can get it down into the ground below the wave action as to Block you’ve got to build to foundation which can be washed out then the wall falls over. The only way to prevent this after you get a good deep foundation in on your block wall is put a lot of rip wrap in front of it so it does not get washed out.

  why drive them upside down?

• 
  @DaleWHickman19 күн бұрын

  Thanks for watching. Depends on what you’re calling upside down. The butt end or the largest end of the Piling should be installed in the water on docks. This makes it harder for the Piling to be pulled out with a bigger end in the ground during a storm search. If you put the smaller end in once you break that suction with the storm surge uplift, it’s easy for that pole to come out. Now building a house on Piling’s, you want to put the skinny end down because it is loadbearing of the house.

  Great looking seawall, what was the purpose of the french drain. I'm on the Currituck Sound with with the same fiberglass seawall but have trouble with water slashing over and causing washout. The top is capped with 2x12 but water pressure has cracked some of the boards. I was curious if the french drain would help.

• 
  @DaleWHickman19 күн бұрын

  Thanks for your comment and Question not sure if you’re able to but rip wrap installed on the front of the wall would break up some of that wave action and keep it from splash over the wall. If you remove that solid 2 x 12 top cap then install a decking style top cap maybe 16 or 18 inches wide that will relieve some of the pressure of the water from breaking the 2x 12. You can see some of that some of my videos. This area that we installed this wall was probably a wet area so I wanted to install a French train behind it to help relieve some of the water pressure building up behind the wall and keep it from being soggy.
