Retaining Wall Foundations I'm Building A 5ft High Retaining Wall, How Deep Should My Foundation Be?

It depends on where you live. If you live in an area where the annual freeze, you must build a sufficient depth to get in (or substantially) said that moves to freeze the wall down and turn useless over time - his attacks.
If you live in an area where there should be no frost per year, generally at least 1 / 3 higher than the wall obtained from the earth. In this case, 18-24 "should be sufficient.
Just to be sure he would be bass, ages 18-24.
Depending on where you live, you need to get your foundation, 30 cm deep. In those areas where the extreme cold, frozen ground could be exposed to increasing the base. I live in the south, and when I built my wall of concrete blocks, standing on a concrete base 24 "deep-set, it was little more than six feet. I was not worried about the frost. Still the majority of guests each cable mortar (a to receive a horizontal line for guests) and strengthen the cohesion of the entire structure a little more.
