Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete sleepers are thick, reinforced panels designed for retaining walls, while plinths are thinner panels that sit under fencing to protect it from soil and moisture. Sleepers are built for strength, while plinths focus on fence protection and appearance.
A full size sleeper is a standard concrete sleeper used in retaining walls or fence bases, while a sleeper crib (sometimes called a half sleeper) is a shorter cut version. Cribs are often used for step-downs, garden edging, or where a smaller height is needed.
A good neighbour plinth is made to suit good neighbour fencing, where both sides of the fence look the same. A naughty neighbour plinth is smooth on one side and rough on the other, designed for traditional post and rail fences where one side faces the rails.
