2000 MPP Retaining 1

Project Description

Concrete Sleeper retaining wall system with steel H posts to support the backyard soil bed to create greater levelled space on a sloping housing block. Posts are one of the most important considerations for strength with a retaining wall, and preferences comes down to both the installer, the weight of the post and cost. Here REYNARD WOOD, Multi Purpose Plank, yet more than 55% lighter than concrete, possess the strength of concrete sleeper design with additional safety inclusion internal Bamboo reinforcement.
