Choosing the Right Retaining Wall Steel
Selecting the right retaining wall steel is critical to long-term retaining wall performance.
Retaining wall steel sizing varies depending on:
Retained wall height | Sleeper span and post spacing | Surcharge loading | Soil conditions | Fencing requirements | Engineering requirements
For many residential retaining walls, galvanised 100UC, 150UB and 150UC retaining wall posts are commonly used depending on project requirements.
Larger retaining walls or engineered retaining wall systems may require heavier retaining wall steel sections to suit increased loading.
If you are unsure what steel is required, our team can help coordinate retaining wall systems based on your plans and project requirements.
