They should do this along highways
Good idea!
Plant trees in tyres to adhere them from movement of the hill
www.lwhomegreen.org/ Many more examples, and in great detail!!!
quanto tempo demorou pra fazer tudo isso ?
Wow! That is tall llllllll!
Yes it sure is:) Alooooot of tires and hours of work.
solo funciona si la mano de obra es donada por las escuelas y universidades..
I just want to build the 1 "U" for myself, and then I can add later if I want to. I have access to 500 tires or so and they are willing to pay me $2 per tire including delivery. Many of the tires are larger truck tires (18", 17"), and there are mostly 16 " truck tires which I think are almost as good as 15" tires. They have phased out 15" tires for some reason, and they don't make many 14" tires anymore either. Are these other sizes just as good to use? I know that they are bigger so they will require more dirt.
Truck tires are perfect, but yes require more dirt. 18", 17", and 16" are all good. If you want to see the U's being built by us, visit lwhomegreen.org and check the barrel vault profile for pictures, videos, and blueprints. Let us know if you have any more questions as you build. Remember dont pack the tires too tight. The will get unstable as you go up.
I understand the use of the tires environmentally, but is there a superior benefit otherwise to the strength of the retaining wall?
👍👍👍👍
Gracias:)
Ok I thought about building fence with tires but I think I've talked myself out of it. What about weeds and eventually trees sprouting and either becoming constant maintenance or a tree destroying the wall?
Great questions. We pull any trees out before they break up the dirt too much inside the tire. Weeds seem to help to keep the surface dirt intact. This wall requires some maintenance but not much. The trouble with building fences with tires is as they go up they become less sturdy.
www.lwhomegreen.org/ Many many many more examples!
What was this an exercise in how hard we can make job?
lol!
Estou fazendo aqui em casa também, tenho uma encosta de 5mt de altura por 7mt de largura, o difícil está sendo achar pneus, somente eu e minha esposa fazemos.
não sei como é na sua região, mas eu sempre pego em alguns borracheiros, daqueles de beira de estrada, ou em avenidas movimentadas, ate ajuda eles em alguns casos quando a prefeitura do local é mais rigida quanto ao descarte dos pneus
mas infomacion! www.lwhomegreen.org/
How long did it take to complete this project
3 months

How did it hold up to erosion without gravel?
In about 10 years it has not moved an inch. If you would like to see more about this, check out the profile: www.lwhomegreen.org/projects/south-side-tire-retaining-wall
btw, there is a french drain behind it.

Also very cool! www.lwhomegreen.org/ 10 yrs of green building research, at your fingertips!
sería mejor y más conveniente sembrar árboles que protegen con más seguridad que simplemente gomas con tierra
Hope it doesn't spontaneously combust or catch on fire otherwise. You might want to investigate that a bit. Seriously.
Good point! No trouble so far. lwhome.org/academy
