Description
Why Choose Steel Sleepers?
Steel Sleepers offers superior strength for a fraction of the weight. At only 13.5kg for a 2m sleeper, they are 5x lighter than concrete and almost 2x lighter than treated pine.
A typical 2m concrete sleeper can weigh up to 80 kg a piece.
A typical 2.4m treated pine sleeper can weigh up to 28 kg a piece.
The lighter weight of a steel sleeper helps with transport costs and installation time by not having to hire machinery and grabs to help lay the sleepers.
It’s easy to cut the steel sleepers on site if required and this also means no dust!
The hot dip galvanised finish offers superior longevity of product life when installed in accordance with the product installation guidelines.
Once your retaining wall has reached its end of life (a long time from now!) all materials are fully recyclable and can be melted down and given a new life as another steel product. You could even be paid for the scrap you have!
Steel Sleepers have been fully engineer-certified for use in your next project.

Uses, Applications & Colours
Steel Sleepers can be used in constructing all types of retaining walls.
Steel Sleepers can also be used where tight access or steep job sites make the transporting and laying of sleepers more difficult.
Steel Sleepers can be used in a decorative pattern design eg, mixing colours or even leaving them ungalvanized for that rustic garden look.
Galvanised Steel Sleepers make perfect retaining walls for sheds, stables or even arenas.
Sleepers come in a variety of finishes and colours.
Galvanised sleepers are a common alternative to plain grey concrete. This finish is extremely hard-wearing and durable.
Sleepers can be sold ungalvanized for that rusty decorative garden look. (Bear in mind this might reduce the longevity of the product, but in most cases should still see the sleeper last well beyond 20 years).
Sleepers can be powder coated after galvanising to still provide excellent corrosion resistance.
Textured powder coating offers a more hard-wearing and UV-stabilised option. These can be matched to any colorbond colour!
Powder-coated sleepers offer a decorative and clean appearance. These are very popular for use below a colorbond fence so the sleeper can match the fence colour.
