Typically, any retaining wall that exceeds 1m in height required engineering and council approval. Please note that these requirements vary between councils and states, so check with your local council for clarification.

Yes - all of our sleepers can be cut to size.Please note we do not offer a cutting serviceFor more information, please refer to our blog article on cutting your sleepers.

the C channel is used for the start and finish of the wall (and for creating corners), and the I Beam is used to continue the sleeper wall (i.e., it connects each sleeper bay). I Beams can also be known as H Beams, UB (Universal Beams), or joiners, among other names.C Channels can also be known as end pieves, PFC U-piece, etc.

Our sleepers typically come in 2m and 2.4m lengths, 200mm high and are available in a range of thicknesses to accomodate different wall heights.We also supply 2m and 2.4m Cribs (100mm high) for each of our sleeper designs.Please review the information on each of our product pages or contact us for more details.

You can build retaining walls up to 4m high using our engineered sleepers (subject to council approval and engineering).

No - UFPs are not engineered to retain heavy compaction.A light backfill (i.e., Garden soil or bark) is acceptable; however, if paving and concrete will be against the UDP, then sleepers should be used instead. Please see the UFP page for more info. UFPs primary function is to fill the gap underneath a fence, prolong the life of the fence panel by preventing it from rusting and provide extra privacy.

Steel length and sizes are to be confirmed by the site engineer, who will provide site-specific advice.Structured over 1m in height will require council approval and site-specific engineering. It is recommended for a minimum of 600mm in the ground for walls 600mm high or less.
