King post walls contain main columns (king posts) installed in equal spaces at a few metres, along the line of a retaining wall, the space in between is filled with concrete panels, blocks or stone and acts as a retaining wall. Specification for king postwalls can be found in the British standards or Eurocode 7 for temporary or permanent conditions.

Generally the king posts are driven into the ground, thus also referred to as king piles, and connected with a beam, to form H shapes, as such one might refer to the lower half as king piles and the upper half as king posts. The upper part of the H structure is normally then in filled with precast concrete panels and may sit above ground, as was the case in the earlier designs used in the construction of the Berlin wall (also sometime used to describe this construction method). The same design approach may also be entirely back filled and located underground for the construction of retaining walls, often referred to as king post piles, or pile walls, soldier walls or just retaining walls.
