#6 & #9 Retaining Wall Project





#6: Before
#6: After

As you can see, #6 retaining wall was in need of a serious upgrade.  Since the wall is structurally sound, we decided to find a paint that would hold up to the extreme weather patterns while preserving the wall for as long as possible.  We used a product from RUST-OLEUM called 'Restore'.  This product is 10X thicker than paint and provides a textured surface to help prevent slipping.  This provided a immediate upgrade and will prolong the life of the current wall.  

#9: Before
#9: After
#9 was approached the same way as #6.  Not only did we paint this wall, we removed the back steps that were no longer structurally sound.  We made a new hand rail for the front, and we will be re-covering the steps (on ALL the tee boxes) with a product made from recycled rubber.  It is a black rubber, 3/8" thick and provides a non-slip surface.  This will be a MAJOR upgrade from the current solution of carpet.  Special thanks for to Gerry Gray ('Bow-Wow') for funding this project!  Thank you for your support!!
