Concrete Sleeper Retaining Wall Posts for Additional Strength and Stability
Concrete sleepers are a great material for the construction of retaining walls in gardens and for other landscaping projects. However, if you are building a high wall that has to withstand a lot of pressure from the ground behind it, you may need to provide some additional support.
Real-Crete has become a trusted name in the construction industry, known for producing high-quality concrete products that combine durability with aesthetic appeal.
Our concrete sleeper posts are designed specifically to provide support for concrete sleepers, giving them even greater strength. Installed at intervals and anchored firmly in the ground, they will provide all the support you need to ensure your retaining walls do not sag or move. Read More
Sleeper Posts for a Variety of Needs
As leading concrete sleeper suppliers, we ensure that our products meet the highest standards, making them ideal for various landscaping and construction projects.
We supply metal sleeper support posts in a variety of sizes to fit different wall heights and types of sleepers. Typical are 75mm sleeper posts that accommodate standard sleepers, generally an H post so that the sleeper slots in comfortably with sufficient room for expansion and contraction as temperatures rise and fall.
You can use them for many garden construction projects, primarily for retaining walls where support is often needed but also for raised beds, seating and any garden feature of a reasonable size. Concrete sleeper posts of 75mm or any other thickness can be cut to a desired length using an oxy-acetylene torch, angle grinder or bandsaw. However, given that we supply a variety of lengths, this is rarely necessary.
Installation Tips for Maximum Strength
To achieve maximum strength and stability, the concrete sleeper posts should be dug into the soil for a depth equivalent to half the height of the finished structure. Thus, for a wall that is 80 cm high, a 120 cm post will be 40 cm below ground so that the visible post is equivalent to the height of the wall. You can fix the posts in place with a suitable concrete mix and then add gravel under and behind the wall for drainage and additional stability. Concrete fencing posts offer a robust solution for supporting fences, ensuring long-lasting stability and resistance against harsh weather conditions.
A suitable metal paint can be applied to the metal posts to prevent corrosion and to make the posts blend in or contrast with the concrete sleepers. This can create an aesthetically pleasing or dramatic effect as well as make your garden structure extremely stable and long-lasting. In fact, an occasional application of metal paint and a quick brush down of the concrete are all that are needed, unlike timber sleepers that need frequent inspection and re-application of preservative.
Flexibility and Strength in Garden Construction
Using our concrete sleepers and posts means that you can create structures that are immensely strong despite no mortar being used between the sleepers. The steel posts and concrete sleepers are resistant to harsh weather and pests, provide great stability and offer endless possibilities for garden design and construction. Also, concrete garden edges provide a clean and durable boundary, enhancing the overall structure and design of your outdoor space.
