    I need to replace a railroad tie wall and I want to do it myself. I want to replace with the same bricks in your picture. Can you give me some feedback or suggestions. Thanks Pat St. Louis MO

    Looking at the first photo, it looks like you built it up against a fence. I can't tell if it is built up high against the fence. I want to build one similar but want it to be several inches high against the wood fence but am afraid that the weight of the soil will damage the fence.
