Concrete Sleeper Timber Finish

The timber finish concrete sleeper gives you a woodgrain face without any of the reasons timber walls fail. It will not rot, warp or feed termites, and it needs no staining or sealing. The texture is moulded into the face, so it does not wear off.

Structurally it is identical to every sleeper we make, 40 MPa at 28 days with two N12 bars, RPEQ certified, stacking horizontally between galvanised steel posts in the usual post and panel system.

Specifications

• 40 MPa at 28 days
• Reinforced with 2 x N12 bars
• Australian manufactured, meeting Australian building standards
• Certified by Registered Professional Engineers of Queensland (RPEQ)
• Finish: timber look woodgrain, dark grey (charcoal)

Add 10mm to the post centres if a fence is going on top of the wall. Courses are the wall height divided by 200mm, rounded up, so a 1 metre wall is 5 courses.

Handling

At 54kg to 87kg a sleeper this is a two person lift by hand, which is why we deliver on crane trucks and why the sleeper grab exists. Cutting releases silica dust, so use a wet saw or dust extraction with a P2 or P3 respirator, and seal the cut face with galvanising spray or bitumastic paint.

Building courses that get buried?

Cosmetic timber finish seconds are the same product with surface blemishes, chipped edges or colour variation, at a substantial discount. On a moulded face like this one, blemishes are often less obvious than they are on a smooth sleeper, so it is worth looking at current stock. Everything in the seconds and clearance range is sold as seen, so ask us for photos first.
