Build a retaining wall with formwork yourself

Hello Evolith

that is really very cheap. Actually, for a frost-free founded foundation and a 1 meter high retaining wall. and all completed?
With 8m³ of concrete and an approx. area of 12m² that would mean that the foundation becomes about 66cm thick. That is substantial. I would do it at least that way too, but with a company and then at that price.
Which stones were specified? And in what dimension?

Those are only the material costs. We inquired at our trusted building materials supplier.

We also considered ordering the stones from the hardware store. But I have some concerns about the quality. Not that the tolerances there are too loose.

Don't worry about that, OBI also sells those from ehl or betonwerk Nord or rekerbeton. They don't offer Mist. Karsten

Hello Evolith

You have to level the stones slightly in every layer. Small plastic wedges help immensely with that. Remove them again after pouring.
You can get the 24.5 ones at any hardware store. If you take 30 ones, it gets difficult. Those are only available at building material suppliers.
I just bought 24.5 ones at Bauhaus. €2.95 each. You can also have them delivered by the pallet. Then they are cheaper.

I got my stones from Raab Karcher, as mentioned 2 EUR each (5 full pallets) + 55 for the delivery. All prices already gross.

I think Raab Karcher is only for business customers? At least I can only place an order there with a business license.

Edit: Ahh, you can also order from their building materials trade as a private customer.
