I'm considering building a retaining wall between the carport and the neighbor due to a slope about 1 meter wide and 80 cm high towards the neighbor. Otherwise, there's a risk of creeping of the carport foundation! I'm wondering which options are better for preventing possible land creeping, is it the L-support wall or a wall with something like megastone?
 
  • A wooden carport under construction, supported by pillars, with adjacent house and surrounding sloped terrain.
Both can do the job, but without scientific basis, I would think that L-supports are stronger because they utilize the pressure of the masses to stand on their own.
 
The disadvantage of L-support is that you have to dig very close to your carport and there may be a risk of the plinths moving. But if you can handle that, then L-supports are probably a good option.
 
Brother, if I cast a wall, do I need to dig close to the carport?
 
Even a wall that you cast yourself must have some support to prevent it from starting to lean. Such support you might be able to dig out between and in front of the plinths. Perhaps complement with some type of jordankare.
