ABSTRACT:
A retaining wall system for stabilizing an earthen wall comprising a plurality of face panels, a plurality of anchor mesh panels, and a plurality of connecting pins. The face panels each comprise first and second connecting portions and a wall portion. Each connecting portion comprises an upper surface and a bottom surface and defines a void system. The wall portion defines a face surface and a retaining surface. The face panels are stacked in a plurality of vertically spaced rows. The first vertically spaced row is arranged above the second vertically spaced row. A wall face is defined by the face surfaces of the wall portions and openings formed between vertically spaced wall portions and between horizontally spaced connecting portions. A portion of the anchor mesh panels is inserted into the void system. The connecting pins are inserted into the void system to secure the portion of the anchor mesh panel to the face panels. The earthen wall is accessible through the openings in the wall face.
