Long retaining wall ?

Something that I have not seen mentioned & might be worth consideration for such a long wall is covering thin styrene with the building paper sold by Micro Mark & other manufacturers as well. It has an adhesive backing and can be had with several designs such as random cut stone, concrete block, red or yellow brick & several other varieties. This may prove to be the most "cost effective" approach. I've used these on several buildings and they looked pretty good. If you take your time you can make almost invisible seams between the pieces. I do, however, use some additional adhesive such as Elmer's white glue to ensure that the paper stays put. Tweet<br>
