Installation Overview
1. PREPARE THE AREA
Clear and level your site where you plan to build the retaining wall. Ensure you leave 200mm behind the retaining wall area for backfill.
2. ALIGNMENT
Place a star piquet or peg at both ends of the proposed wall. Attach two string lines at each end of the wall, top and bottom, to keep your wall aligned.
3. MARK OUT HOLE POSITIONS
Starting from one end of the wall, mark a cross on the ground at intervals with their centre being approximately 15mm more than the length of the sleeper.
When utilizing the fence bracket system allow an extra 15mm again to ensure the sleepers have clearance with the nuts and bolts.
For example: If you are using 1530mm sleepers the hole centres should be 1545mm apart – note, this will vary on the length of sleeper used.
4. AUGER HOLES AND POUR CONCRETE
5. CHECKING POSTS
6. AG PIPE AND BACKFILL
Allow the concrete to cure for two to three days before you place your sleepers in. Place ag pipe at the base, then backfill with gravel to 200mm from the top.
7. SOIL PLUG
A soil plug is then placed in, to fill the wall to the top.
