ReplyDeleteThe longer logs were placed on the sides to help prevent the wall from falling forward or back. The star posts were decided on as a quick fix for the form work instead of building up wooden frame work to support the sides and rear of the wall.....this decision later cost us down the track as the wall became taller more pressure grew on the side star posts and the wall started to push to posts out.
