DIY Corten Steel Retaining Wall | Part 1 (Backyard Project Build)

Building a Corten steel retaining wall at my house — Part 1 of this DIY backyard project. In this episode I’m starting the installation of a 700mm high wall made from 3mm Corten steel, bent and fabricated to hold back gravel, dirt, and stone. This series will cover the full build from start to finish, including cutting, prepping, installing, and problem-solving along the way. If you’re into metal fabrication, welding, or backyard DIY projects, this one’s for you. I’ll share tips, challenges, and behind-the-scenes from the workshop to the backyard. This is Part 1 — stay tuned for Part 2 where I tackle the stone stairs and finishing touches.
