Has anyone ever used metal roofing as a retaining wall?
We are using T-posts every 8 feet and running 2 rows of 1x4's to attach the roofing to. I mostly wondered how the metal roofing would hold up to the elements underground or with dirt building up on one side of it. What do you think?

- would not do it not strong enough
- If it is holding up to the weight, it should outlast a wooden retaining wall. I would not recommend using the metal to truely hold back a hill side (lived in the Black Hills and there are retaining walls designed to prevent the entire hill from sliding into the house rather than purely decorative/curing a sloping area).
