Sunset Sleepers DOES NOT accept any returns of concrete products due to transport and handling.

Yes, of course. We will load your order straight onto your truck or trailer.

Yes, you can build your own retaining wall. Be sure to research what is needed for a successful and up to code retaining wall.

Product cost does vary due to the size and variation of the wall. Feel free to call the Sunset Sleepers office from Monday to Friday during 7:30am to 4pm on 0410 818 242 and our staff would be happy to provide you with installer details, to give you the full install and product cost.

Concrete sleepers are heavy, so installation can be difficult. Sunset Sleepers can provide solutions to help with installation such as Grab hire for $25 a day.

No. Concrete sleepers do not require painting, although to give them a darker look you are able to use a concrete sealant.

Concrete Sleepers have many benefits over their timber counterpart. There are many designs and colours to choose from and there’s even one that looks like a timber sleeper (‘The Malibu’ Woodgrain Textured Concrete Sleeper). They won’t warp, twist, significantly alter in appearance or rot and can’t be eaten by termites.

Initially, concrete sleepers may be more expensive than timber sleepers, but depending on the height of the wall they can actually be a cheaper alternative as they’re stronger. For the long term it’s a no-brainer, as a timber sleeper wall WILL need to be replaced at some stage and who wants to build a Retaining Wall twice?

Retaining walls above 1 meter must have council approval. If council approval is required, it is because a retaining wall may pose a danger to people or the environment around it unless it is properly constructed.

The only way to ensure that it does not is to have the wall designed and approved by professionals. In some areas, you will need to engage the services of a structural engineer.

In this case, you will need to:

1. Lodge a building application.
2. Have a qualified drafter or architect draw your plans or an engineer
3. Hire a building certifier, who will approve your plans and make periodic inspections to ensure the retaining wall is being built according to specifications.

If you think your retaining wall may need council approval, it is probably a job best left to the experts.

In Victoria, a building permit is needed for retaining walls over 1 meter high. The landowner is responsible for ensuring a building permit is obtained and must ensure the person in charge of the building work has a copy of the approval.

If they don’t have a building permit, an enforcement notice can be issued requiring the landowner to comply with any building requirements imposed which may involve removing or demolishing the structure.

A breach of the building Act is serious and illegal building work can require a landowner to attend the Magistrate’s Court. Notification of current/recent illegal work may be sent to the “Municipal Building Surveyor”.

Concrete sleepers vary in weights. They start from 65kg for a 1800 x 200 x 80, to 125kg for a 2400 x 200 x 120.

Our stock sizes are 1.8m , 2m and 2.4m. However, we can make custom sizes if required for an extra fee. Please call the Sunset Sleepers office from Monday to Friday during 7:30am to 4pm on 0410 818 242 if you require any custom size concrete sleepers.

Each sleeper has a maximum height retained for engineering purposes.

If you have any questions, please call the Sunset Sleepers office from Monday to Friday during 7:30am to 4pm on 0410 818 242.
