So, more pondering subsequent to my retaining wall question. Since the height in only about 14" at the max, so I even need a retaining wall or can I safely backfill that area and call it a day? I know I need those plastic fence thingies but I can find those cheaper on kijiji than the retaining wall blocks. Next year, we're going to be building a surround deck, hiding the wall anyway, at which point the pool fence will come off and be relisted on kijiji. Just don't want to create a potentially hazardous situation by backfilling but with the low height, I'm wondering if it will be safe?
