PNG rain is NO joke. If you're building on a hill with no retaining wall, the ground goes, the house goes. We see it every year, and it's completely avoidable! 😤
A retaining wall holds your soil in place, protects your foundation and keeps your family safe, no matter how heavy the rain gets. Here's what works 👇
Stone walls - Cheap, no cement needed, and water drains through naturally. Been used for generations and still works great today!
Gabion walls - Wire baskets filled with rock. Strong, flexible and won't crack during earthquakes. One of the best options for PNG terrain!
Cement block walls - Solid and strong, BUT you must leave drainage holes at the bottom or the trapped water will blow the whole wall out in heavy rain!
And no matter which wall you build — ALWAYS leave gaps at the bottom so water can escape freely. Trapped water is the number one reason walls fail. Every single time! 💧
