Having spent the last 4-6 weeks reading just about every thread on sleeper retaining walls, I thought I had every detail covered!
Starting the project this weekend, a sleeper wall 6m wide and 1m high.
Ordered 200 x 100mm new pine sleepers, which I trust will do the job!
I am planning on sinking sleepers in at 1.5m centres as fence posts, then using timberlok screws to attached the horizontals to the vertical posts.
My question is on the mix for the vertical sleeper posts...
I was planning on filling the holes with wet mix (4:1 ballast to cement) but most people seem to suggest using dry mix!
Surely using a wet mix ensures its throughly mixed, therefore stronger?
Is it pretty much universally accepted to use dry mix for sinking sleepers in?
