Mixing Thick and Thin Lagging Boards
Mixing Thick and Thin Lagging Boards
(OP)
Is mixing 2 x random widths and 3 x random widths wise to do in the same 8 foot wide H-Pile bay?? Typically down to 4 feet deep can be 2 inch thick material and from there down to 10 feet deep can be 3 inch thick. I could easily spec one thickness but I am trying to save money for a Church. The soil on site is a dense clay with rock below. Thanks for any information in advance.

Does the length really make it worth the cost to change them though?

If the wall is temporary, nothing is needed behind the lagging, except tight contact between the boards and the dirt. If the wall is permanent and less than about 5 feet high, you could place material behind the lagging. If the wall is permanent and high, it probably should not be wood lagging, especially random width or variable thickness.
