Optimum Heritage Concrete Sleeper

The Optimum Heritage Concrete Sleeper captures the warmth of natural timber with a delicate grey finish that suits classic and contemporary landscapes alike.

Sealed with an authentic heritage timber texture, these sleepers bring a refined, natural look to retaining walls, raised garden beds and terraced landscaping without the rot, warping or ongoing maintenance of real wood. Two embedded N12 steel bars and a 55 to 60 MPa concrete mix give them the structural backbone for serious retaining applications.

Available in 1.6m, 2.0m and 2.4m lengths, slot between galvanised steel posts for walls up to 2.4m high, tiered garden terraces, planter beds or patio borders that hold their look for 60 years.

What is a 2 Bar or 3 Bar Concrete Sleeper? This simply refers to how many bars of reinforcing steel are inside each sleeper. 2 bar holds two bars of reo and 3 bar holds three. Unless you are building an engineer certified wall above 1.1m you will not need 3 bar. We generally only supply 2 bar for domestic jobs. If you are building a tall retaining wall please seek advice from an engineer.
