- Welcome to our new "How To' series! This week we are teaching you how to build a sitting wall! We show you everything from the base we lay on, the blocks we use, how to keep the wall in tact, and how we like to add a flair with some accent lighting. We hope you are able to learn something new! If you like this new series, please comment below something you’ve learned or let us know what you would like us to show how we do too!

🎉🎉 love me some RC Outdoor on Fridays!
Oh Mike!! Thanks for the support my friend!
Love that way you explain clear and neat where I get a big plastic hammer
I’m surprised you didn’t fill the cells of the first row of block. I’ve always done this as I believe it adds to stability of the remaining wall block.
If I were building a retaining wall sure I would do it but not for a little sitting wall
Great video! Which caps did you use for this install?
How big of a space do you recommend between the firepit and the wall?
Thanks for the share. Nice blocks! Never seen that type before. Who makes/sells them?
It’s Techo Bloc Brandon wall. We use them all the time

Good video! I want to add a seating wall to a patio installation which will be at the end of the slope. How do I pitch the area around the seating wall to ensure there is runoff instead of having water just pool at the bottom of the wall? So in other words, the water will be pitched towards the seating wall at the edge of the patio, but how do I pitch the water away from the wall at that point?
You can do a couple different things here. 1. You can space the bottom row blocks so there’s a gap between each block. Water can run through here 2. Put a strip of nice stone in between pavers and wall. Water runs through stone. OR you can use small chip stone in the pavers joints so the pavers here are permeable. Also make sure you’re using a permeable base/open graded base in these cases so water will drain through
Like your explanations, but you like the camera on your face instead of the product when you're talking about things. It works better when one can see what you're talking about.

We’re working on them!!
Are these blocks 6” high? I noticed you only buried half of the first course, shouldn’t the first course be fully buried in this application?
These are 3.5” high. For a big retaining wall I’d bury a full block but I’m not too worried about doing that for a 18” sitting wall
You don’t have to build up a “footer” or thick base for the wall? Just that 4” base of chip rock is all you need?
There’s about 7” of 3/4” stone and then another 1” of chip for my base under the wall
@@rcoutdoor1146 gotcha. Thank you !
I was taught that it was better to build the sitting wall first, and then lay pavers what do you think??
No mention of the brand or product you are using…. Jesus.
