Outback Sleepers Outback Sleepers LON-0345 (STD/HD 2.4m)

Follow the installation guides in our Product Guide on how to build your retaining wall.

Use plastic (Forticon) behind the sleepers before backfilling the wall.

Use an Agi drain at the base of the wall to allow drainage.

Do not scrub the face of the sleepers to remove dirt or stains. Use a light garden hose to soften the dirt or stain and remove by hand (if possible).

Do not use a pressure hose to clean the sleepers / UFP's.

Do not subject the concrete sleepers / UFP's to excessive water hitting the face from a sprinkler system.

Do not use any chemical solutions to clean the sleepers (other than Efflorescence Remover).

Sign off on the moulds maintenance

- Many materials will only stain sleepers if they remain in contact with them for prolonged periods.

• Remove dust or dirt by lightly running a hose over the affected area.

• DO NOT use a high-pressure hose on concrete sleepers as it can damage the surface.

• When engaging in stain removal always start with a trial in an inconspicuous area.

• Regularly brush the top of the sleeper wall to prevent dirt and dust build up running down the face of your retaining wall.

• If a site is particularly muddy and unprepared (i.e. no lawn or paving) then it is best practice to cover the face of the sleepers with plastic sheeting (Forticon) to prevent wind from blowing excessive dust and debris onto the face of the sleepers and causing the sleepers to stain.

When cutting our products please adhere to the following points to ensure best practice.
