Scenic Rim Retaining Wall Builders000
Can you put a fence on top of a retaining wall?

Method

Yes, on fence brackets fixed to the wall's steel posts. They go on before the top two sleepers, so say so before the wall goes up.

Can you put a fence on top of a retaining wall?

The short answer

Yes. A fence can stand on top of a concrete sleeper wall. It sits on fence brackets fixed to the wall's steel posts, so the fence is carried by the wall's posts rather than by the sleepers or the ground behind them.

We fit the brackets as part of building the wall. The fence itself is a fencer's job, and we can put you in touch with one we trust. We leave the wall straight and the levels right, so they have a clean start.

Why the order matters

The brackets go on the posts before the top two sleepers. Jake can lay the first three sleepers, but the top two wait until the brackets are on.

So a fence on top is a decision to make before the wall goes up, not once it's finished. Tell us when you ask for the quote and it's built in from the start. You can see the brackets standing up from every post on the Fernvale wall.

What to tell us

  • That you want a fence on top, when you ask for the quote
  • Which part of the wall it runs along, if not the whole length
  • Whether you already have a fencer lined up, or want the name of one
