With a stylish range of smooth, coloured and timber look finishes, you can easily get the look you want. You can also paint to match your existing house colour scheme. When considering which retaining material to use for your project, it’s important to consider factors such as price, style, longevity, safety and maintenance requirements. Many retaining materials on the market are cheap but have an extremely limited lifespan. Timber will succumb to weather over time and is highly susceptible to termite infestation. Concrete sleepers provide a sturdy and durable alternative, and offer a great contemporary look. Backed by a 15-year warranty, RIDGI is designed for longevity with minimal maintenance. Australian designed and manufactured, the RIDGI system is so easy to install. Simply concrete your posts into the ground, slide your sleepers into the steel posts, lay agpipe, then backfill.
