Hi, I've bought some shaped railway sleepers, similar to that in the attached picture, for use as a retaining wall and was after some advice. The wall will be 4m long and I intend to have it 3 sleepers high. Can anyone advise;
1) Is it ok to have the bottom row sitting directly on soil or should I protect it in some way?
2) What is the best method of securing the bottom row to the ground? Wasn't sure if I needed to use concrete or perhaps concrete small posts into the ground and connect the sleepers to those or if they could be sited in some other way.
Cheers
Mick
