I have a project where I need to hide a structural retaining wall behind a tiered MSE wall. (long story)

There will be places where the face block get close to the CIP wall and the fill between the two will exert pressure on the face block, but there is little length to develop the grid. I was considering wrapping the grid around a pressure treated 4x4 that is anchored to the concrete.

Does anybody know of an easier way?

I would use an aluminum or stainless steel termination bar, as used in roof membrane application. Will work well to hold the Geogrid to the concrete.
