Concrete Sleepers / JD-SL-065
Blakeview Patterned Concrete Sleeper
A decorative concrete sleeper from our Showcase range, with the Blakeview pattern, left unsealed for a natural finish, and a smooth back. Use it to build retaining walls, garden beds and terraces where the wall face is on show. Each sleeper is 200mm high and 75mm thick, made from 40MPa concrete with two reinforcing bars. Sleepers stack horizontally between galvanised steel H posts, with C posts at the ends, building the wall up 200mm at a time. Choose a length (1.6m, 2.0m or 2.4m) to match your post spacing: shorter spans suit higher walls and softer ground, while longer spans use fewer posts on low walls.
Under 100 sleepers: usually delivered in 1–21 business days. 100 or more: we confirm your delivery date when you order.
Freight is priced to your delivery suburb for most metro areas, or will be confirmed with you before payment.

01 / Product overview
How sleeper lengths work: sleepers are sold by nominal length, the distance between post centres. The actual sleeper is 10–20mm shorter so it fits between the posts. 1.6m spacing suits higher walls and softer ground; 2.4m uses fewer posts on low walls.
Matching posts: 75mm sleepers fit 100 Series posts: 100UC H posts between bays, 100PFC C posts at the ends, and 100 Series corner posts where the wall turns.
Colour: concrete varies a little in colour and texture between batches, so order all the sleepers for one wall together.
Also order: sleeper wedges to hold each sleeper tight, concrete for the post piers, and post caps or AllCapps capping to finish the wall.
Supply: from our South East Queensland partner yards.
Made to order
Patterned sleepers are poured to order. Allow 2 to 21 business days and order the full wall in one batch for colour consistency.

Freight shown on your quote.
Sleepers are too long and heavy for a parcel service. Concrete sleepers are delivered by truck and need to be unloaded with a forklift, hiab, telehandler, Moffett or similar. Freight depends on your suburb and the weight of your order, and can vary with your site access.

04 / Product FAQs
Before you order.
What are Blakeview patterned concrete sleepers?
Blakeview patterned concrete sleepers are precast, steel-reinforced retaining wall sleepers with the Blakeview pattern, left unsealed for a natural finish, and a smooth back, from our Showcase range. Each is 200mm high and 75mm thick, made from 40MPa concrete with two reinforcing bars, for walls where the face is on show.
What length Blakeview concrete sleepers do I need?
Sleeper length is the distance between post centres. Choose 1.6m, 2.0m or 2.4m to match your post spacing. The actual sleeper is 10–20mm shorter so it fits between the posts. Shorter spans suit higher walls and softer ground; longer spans use fewer posts on low walls.
Will Blakeview patterned concrete sleepers match from batch to batch?
Concrete varies a little in colour and texture between batches. These sleepers are poured to order, so order the full wall in one batch for colour consistency.
Do Blakeview patterned concrete sleepers need council approval?
In Queensland, retaining walls over 1m in retained height generally need building approval and an engineered design. Lower walls can still need approval when they are close to a boundary or a building, support a driveway or pool, or carry a fence. Check with your council before you order.
