Log wall against earth slope-treatment of the timber?

[jajjemen]

I'm planning to build a timber wall against a soil slope.
There will be a Platon membrane closest to the timber, followed by gravel and soil.

Since the timber will be exposed to moisture/water, what's recommended for treating the timber with?

Excuse me, a question, but why then?

If the timber absorbs moisture and it freezes, it will crack, right.

What are you thinking since you're asking the question?

Use construction timber, it works but buy those marked NTR A. PRESSURE TREATED

That's basically why I'm wondering why you would have a timber wall against the earth slope, and not stone or concrete?

How are you thinking of attaching the "wall" to the pillars? Since it presses outward, shouldn't the pillars be on the outside?

Wood does not freeze and break.
Does it say it should be 3.5 meters high, is that above ground?
If it is above ground, how much should you dig down the posts?

Have you calculated how much the soil on the slope will press against the wall, 3.5 m is high.
The posts are on the wrong side, you will need sturdy attachments for the horizontal timber.
With the posts on the other side, almost nothing is needed to hold the timber in place.

The wall will become an interior wall for a grillstuga.
The timber is directly from a sawmill in special dimensions and therefore is not treated.
The posts are securely anchored and the wall will be sufficiently attached to the posts, so this is not a concern.

Back to the question: What would be appropriate to treat the timber with?
