How to Install

Sleepers have a wide range of applications for your garden and each specific use will influence the installation method. Here is some guidance below on how to install.

When constructing a retaining wall or flower bed, it is recommended to bury the RSJ 50% of the total height of the bed. For example, if your wall is intended to be 130cm high, the post should be dug in around 65cm, making the 1200mm RSJ Sleeper Retainer beam ideal for the job.

If you need to cut the galvanised steel beam, you can employ various methods such as band saws, angle grinders, or oxyacetylene setups. Ensure accurate measurements before cutting and utilise appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and sensible precautions. However, these beams are available in different lengths, so it is advisable to calculate and order the appropriate size to avoid the need for cutting.

To secure the steel beam into the ground, we recommend using a product like Post Mix. Typically, two bags should suffice per post, but it is advisable to seek guidance from a professional to ensure the safety of your construction. The two holes indicate the bottom of the post, and this end should be buried in the ground.

To prolong its life it is a good idea to paint metal fixings with a good quality outdoor metal paint.
