Timber Sleeper Retaining Walls Geelong

Timber sleeper walls are structures made from horizontal wooden beams, typically referred to as sleepers. They are commonly used in landscaping, gardening, and construction for various purposes, including:

Retrofitting and Raised Floors: In construction, timber sleeper walls can also be used to support raised floors, especially in situations where you need to create a ventilated sub-floor space.

Retaining Walls: Timber sleepers are often used to create retaining walls to hold back soil on a slope or to create raised garden beds. The sleepers are usually stacked horizontally, sometimes with metal or wooden posts for added stability.

Garden Edging: Sleepers can be laid horizontally to define garden beds, paths, or borders. This is a simple and effective way to create neat, defined edges in a garden.

Steps and Terracing: Timber sleepers can be used to create steps or terraces in a garden. By stacking and securing the sleepers, you can form sturdy and attractive steps or terraces on sloped terrain.

Fencing and Barriers: Sleepers can be used to build fences or low barriers, providing a rustic, natural look that blends well with garden landscapes.

Timber Sleeper Walls FAQs

What timber do you use for sleeper walls? +

Treated pine sleepers for most garden and landscaping walls, and hardwood where a premium finish is wanted. All timber is rated for in-ground use.

How high can a timber sleeper wall go? +

Timber walls suit heights up to around a metre; above that, engineering requirements usually make concrete sleepers the more practical choice. We advise per site.

Will a timber retaining wall rot? +

Properly treated timber with good drainage behind it lasts decades. We install drainage aggregate and agricultural pipe behind every wall so water never sits against the timber.
