How to Use
Sleeper Retainer Posts offer a multitude of ways to elevate your garden to the next level, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Whether you want to create raised flower beds, sturdy retaining walls, or reinforce embankments, Sleeper Retainer Posts are the ideal choice for these projects. The installation process varies depending on your specific application. Please see some guidance below.
When constructing a retaining wall or flower bed, it is recommended to bury the RSJ 50% of the total height of the bed. For instance, if your wall will be 120cm high, the post should be buried 60cm, making the 1800mm RSJ Sleeper Retainer beam ideal for the task at hand.
If you need to cut the galvanized steel beam, there are various methods available, such as using band saws, angle grinders, or oxyacetylene setups. Prioritize precise measurements before cutting and employ suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) along with necessary precautions. However, it is advisable to order the appropriate length of beams to avoid the need for cutting, as they are available in different sizes.
To securely anchor the steel beam into the ground, we recommend using a product like Post Mix. Typically, two bags should suffice per post, but it is prudent to consult a professional for guidance to ensure the safety of your construction. The two holes indicate the bottom of the post, which should be buried into the ground.
To prolong its life it is a good idea to paint the steel RSJ with a good quality outdoor metal paint.
