I have a small problem. One side of the building, where the sliding door is located, is about 0.8m under the natural land as shown in the picture. I'm going to put two steps in front of the sliding door. However, I'm not sure what I can do with the remaining 'hole'. I want to cover it up for safety reasons.
I thought of few ways to handle this..
1. Sloping the land. It doesn't work well because the slope will be too steep.
2. Place some timber sleepers - It might invite termites.
3. Placing solid concrete long flower pots against the wall and fill the rest with dirt - I'm not sure how practicals it is.
Anyone got any thoughts?
i would build a retaining wall. The studwork looks like timber, you dont want to put soil or flower pots then soil up against that. Dig some more soil away so you have a little more room then build a retaining wall with stacker stone or H4 treated sleepers with drainage behind to keep the moisture away - that is what I would do.
