Everything for a straight, solid sleeper wall

A concrete sleeper retaining wall is built from reinforced concrete sleepers slotted between galvanised steel posts — H channels between sleepers and C channels at the ends and corners.

Our sleepers are Australian made by a local family business, 40 MPa concrete grade (complying with AS3600/2009) with 2 × N10 ACRS-compliant reinforcement bars, and are engineer designed and certified. With the 2 m standard sleeper you can build a retaining wall up to 1 m high.

Steel posts

Hot-dip galvanised steel posts sized to the sleeper thickness. H channels sit between sleepers; C channels finish the ends and corners.

Corner C channels are heavy duty, hot-dip galvanised, won’t rust and can be used straight away with no need to paint or treat — suitable for retaining walls up to 1600 mm high.

Use & application

How a sleeper retaining wall goes together

The three things to decide before you order — we can help with all of them.

  1. Sleeper thickness

    Sleepers are made in 50, 75 and 100 mm thicknesses; the posts are sized to suit. Heavier-duty sleepers are used for taller walls.

  2. Post length & type

    H channels between sleepers, C channels at the ends and corner C channels where the wall turns. Lengths from 900 mm to 3000 mm allow for the wall height plus the concreted footing.

  3. Finish & colour

    Plain grey or charcoal for a clean look, sandstone and stack stone for a masonry look, or Ashwood for a timber-look wall without the maintenance.
