Where the Country is relaxed and the Mocha is warm, the Smokey is striking — the finish that makes a retaining wall a design feature rather than a background element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach sleeper is Australian-made from \u003cstrong\u003esteel-reinforced concrete rated 40+ MPa\u003c\/strong\u003e with 2 Reo bars, in a standard 200mm high × 75mm thick profile.

Every wall must include a free-draining aggregate zone, geotextile fabric, and slotted ag pipe to a legal outlet. Walls over 1m in height typically require a building permit and engineer certification in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, and SA — always confirm with your local council before starting.

The grain texture runs horizontally across the sleeper face, and the dark sealed finish gives the wall a bold, architectural quality that lighter finishes don't achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Smokey differ from Sandstone Storm Grey?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth are dark finishes but with different textures. Smokey has a timber-grain moulded face — it reads as dark timber. Storm Grey has a stone-block relief face — it reads as dark masonry. Smokey suits landscapes with timber elements; Storm Grey suits rendered or masonry-heavy designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many sleepers do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFive sleepers per metre of wall height, per bay. For a 10m wall at 1m high with 2000mm post spacing: 5 sleepers × 5 bays = 25 sleepers. Always add 5–10% for cuts and wastage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich posts do I need with these sleepers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nC-channel PFC posts for walls under 1m in stable soil. H-beam UC posts for walls over 1m, reactive clay soils, or any wall with surcharge load.
