The smooth front profile and bevelled edge detail create a neat shadow line between sleepers, giving the finished wall a refined, contemporary appearance that suits residential landscaping, boundary walls, driveway retaining walls, garden terraces, and commercial outdoor spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from steel reinforced concrete, Smooth Bevel sleepers provide a stronger and longer lasting alternative to timber sleepers. They are engineered for retaining wall use, simple to install with compatible steel posts, resistant to termites and insects, and built to withstand long term exposure to Australian outdoor conditions. Unlike timber, concrete will not rot, warp, split, splinter, or deteriorate from ground contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth face with bevelled edge detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable lengths:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2000mm, and 2350mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural and Onyx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available by request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReinforcement:\u003c\/strong\u003e N12 steel reinforced as standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional reinforcement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stronger N16 steel reinforcement available for custom orders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel reinforced concrete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low maintenance, termite resistant, weather resistant, fire resistant, and corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineering certified to Australian standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Lengths and Wall Height Suitability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth Bevel concrete sleepers are available in multiple lengths to suit different retaining wall designs, soil conditions, post spacing requirements, and site access needs.

Correct post selection, footing depth, drainage, backfill, soil type, and wall height all affect the final retaining wall design. For low walls in stable ground, C-Channel posts may be suitable. For taller walls, corners, surcharge loads, driveways, fences above the wall, or reactive clay sites, H-Beam posts are generally preferred for stronger support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrainage should always be considered behind the wall. A suitable drainage system normally includes free-draining aggregate, geotextile fabric, and slotted ag pipe to help reduce hydrostatic pressure behind the sleepers.
