Tuffpoly Composite Sleepers in Charcoal are durable, low-maintenance composite sleepers used to create retaining walls, raised garden beds, tiered garden areas, boundaries and landscaping solutions for sloping blocks.

Yes. Tuffpoly Composite Sleepers in Charcoal are specifically designed for use in composite retaining wall systems. Compared to traditional timber sleepers, they offer resistance to rotting and termite damage, reduced maintenance requirements and improved durability in outdoor conditions.

Installing Tuffpoly Composite Sleepers in Charcoal involves fitting the sleepers between compatible retaining wall posts, such as H-Posts and C-Posts, to create a secure retaining wall structure. We recommend following the manufacturer's installation instructions to achieve a strong and durable result.

If you would like to get an idea of the general installation process, we have included an overview below:

Step 1: Plan the retaining wall layout and determine the post locations.
Step 2: Prepare and level the installation area.
Step 3: Install the retaining wall posts securely.
Step 4: Slide the composite sleepers into position between the posts.
Step 5: Install appropriate drainage material behind the wall where required.
Step 6: Backfill and compact the material behind the retaining wall.

Tuffpoly Composite Sleepers in Charcoal provide the natural appearance of traditional timber sleepers while offering the benefits of modern composite materials. Unlike traditional treated timber sleepers and logs, they are designed to resist rot, splitting and termite damage while providing long-lasting performance in outdoor conditions.

They also do not require regular staining or sealing, which can make them a great option for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance retaining wall solution.

It is also important to note that CCA-treated timber is restricted or unsuitable for certain applications, including some school and public settings, due to concerns around exposure to arsenic and other chemicals used in the treatment process. Tuffpoly Composite Sleepers provide an alternative option for projects where CCA-treated timber is not permitted or preferred.
