Retaining wall installation

Step 1: Marking Out Your Wall

Start by placing a peg at either end of where your retaining wall will begin and end.

Run a string line between the pegs to establish a straight guide.

Under the string line, mark out your post holes along the wall line.

Measure your sleeper length and mark each hole position, from the center of each post.

This makes it easier to slide your sleepers in later on. Don’t hesitate to cut the rails if they’re too long — they must be exactly 2.4 mtrs long

Step 2: Drilling Holes

Drill your post holes to a depth that matches the height of the wall above ground.

Example: A 600mm high wall = 600mm deep hole.

What goes above the ground, also goes into the ground.

Step 3: Installing Posts

Place your posts into the holes.

Use a level to ensure all posts are straight and aligned with your string line.

While the concrete is still wet, go along the wall and push each post 40mm into the cut end of the wall direction.

This gives each post a 40mm fall, helping to accommodate any natural ground movement over time. For every mtr in height 40mm lean will be added.

Step 4: Let the Concrete Set

Allow the posts to sit and cure in the concrete for 24 hours before continuing.

Step 5: Inserting the Sleepers

Once the posts are set, slide your sleepers into place between the posts.

Step 6: Drainage and Backfill

Lay geofabric behind the wall to stop soil from clogging your drainage system.

Add 100mm of drainage gravel at the base of the wall.

Lay an aggie pipe (with sock) on top of the gravel to direct water away.

Fill the entire area behind the wall with drainage gravel only.

Do not backfill with soil.

Wrap-Up

And you’re done! A perfectly installed retaining wall, built to last. Now all that’s left to do is sit back and enjoy the view — great job!

Fence installation

Step 1: Marking Out Your Fence Line

Start by placing a peg at each end of your fence line.
Run a string line tightly between the pegs to establish a straight guide.
Mark your post holes under the string line at 2.4 meter. Exactly “If rail cutting is necessary, this is standard practice, as some holes may not always align correctly.” This slight gap ensures you can easily slide the rails into the posts during assembly.

Step 2: Drilling Post Holes

Drill your post holes to a depth of 550mm to 600mm, depending on ground conditions.

Step 3: Installing Fence Posts

Place your posts into the holes and align them with your string line.
Use a level to make sure each post is upright—check both the front and side of each post for accuracy.
Pour concrete into the holes while continuing to check that each post remains level and correctly aligned.

Step 4: Let the Concrete Set

Allow the concrete to cure for at least 24 hours before continuing with the rest of the installation.

Step 5: Inserting your Rails, Fence Sheets & Riveting Once your posts are set:

Insert your bottom rail at 1800mm from the top of each post. Ensure that this height is consistent along the entire fence line.

If you have a sloping area, you may need to step your panels to maintain a uniform look across the fence.

Insert the top rail and fence sheets between the rails.

For a clean, professional look, rivet each sheet to the next.

Mark:

400mm down from the top rail

400mm up from the bottom rail drill a small hole to allow for the rivet

Then rivet at these points to ensure straight rivet lines across your entire fence.

Wrap-Up

That’s it! You’ve now installed a strong, great-looking composite fence. Step back and enjoy the results—awesome work!
