Common questions
FAQ
Which sleeper type should I choose for a retaining wall?
Concrete sleepers suit structural walls and higher loads. Treated pine sleepers suit garden and landscape walls. Steel posts and channels must match the sleeper system. Confirm wall height and engineering requirements first.

Yes. Provide wall length, height, post spacing and drainage requirements. Use the sleeper selection guide as a planning starting point before requesting a quote.
Is delivery available for heavy sleeper orders?
Yes. Melbourne metro delivery can be checked for sleeper and steel loads. Provide site access and unloading notes for bulky order confirmation.
