Old timbers such as railway sleepers create a rustic effect while other styles add great character to a site. Larger walls may require engineers drawings and council approval. </div> <div>  <A NAME="rw1_1"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 136 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id72.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Sleeper Retainer"><U><IMG SRC="206ae820.jpg" border=0 width="174" height="130" ALT="Retainer Wall using Sleepers" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF WIDTH="466"><div> <B>Sleeper Retainers</B></div> <bR> <div> Here is a fine example of a wall made from railway sleepers. Note the additional feature of the garden edging using short pieces of sleeper. This type of  wall still needs good foundations if it is to remain in position for many years. Railway sleepers are usually made form either pine or jarrah, the latter timber, an Australian hardwood, being the longer lasting of the two.</div> <div>  <A NAME="rw2_1"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 136 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id73.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Timber Retainer"><U><IMG SRC="207ae820.jpg" border=0 width="174" height="130" ALT="Timber Retainer Wall" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF WIDTH="466"><div> <B>Treated Timber Retainers</B></div> <bR> <div> This retainer wall is constructed using modern treated timber and will last for many years.

This style is chosen more for lower walls and is very suitable for retainer walls that are not intended to be straight.</div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="rw4_1"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 147 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="id75.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Segmented Retainer Wall"><U><IMG SRC="20aae820.jpg" border=0 width="174" height="130" ALT="Segmented Retainer Wall" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF WIDTH="466"><div> <B>Segmented Retainer</B></div> <bR> <div> A very attractive segmented retainer holds a high bank away from the house. Notice how the wall is curved at the far end. This wall material is low maintenance and very strong and durable. It has the advantage that if ever it needs to be moved then the blocks can be lifted and repositioned.<B>  </B></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="#top" TITLE="Retaining Walls"><U>Up  to Top of This Page</U></A></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Copyright <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Symbol" >ã </FONT>2001 by Valley Landscape All Rights Reserved</div> </td> <td valign="top" width=130 BGCOLOR="#006633" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="105" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 352 ><NOBR><div> <B>Construction </B></div> <div> <B>Index</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id36.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Decks Pergolas"><U>Decks</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id37.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Fences Gates"><U>Fences</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id41.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Focal Points"><U>Focal Points</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id42.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Garden Edging Mowing Strips"><U>Garden Edging</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id39.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Lawn Turf"><U>Lawn & Turf</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id42.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Garden Edging Mowing Strips"><U>Mowing Strips</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id35.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Paving Paths"><U>Paths</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id35.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Paving Paths"><U>Paving</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id36.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Decks Pergolas"><U>Pergolas</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id43.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Planting"><U>Planting</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id38.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Retaining Walls"><U>Retaining Walls</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id40.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Steps"><U>Steps</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id30.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Landscape Design"><U><B>Design</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Landscape Maintenance"><U><B>Maintenance</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id44.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Playgrounds"><U><B>Playgrounds</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id92.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About Us"><U><B>About Us</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id45.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us"><U><B>Contact Us</B></U></A></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
