About Steel Retaining Walls products
Steel retaining walls for holding back soil in New Zealand gardens
ArchiPro features only the best steel retaining walls in New Zealand from reputable suppliers and professionals. While they have many applications on large projects they can also be used in the garden in a variety of ways including creating small raised beds on a flat lawn, or at different levels alongside flights of stairs. Steel retaining walls are an important part of a wider range of high-quality retaining walls that you will find on ArchiPro.
Types of steel retaining walls
There are several styles of steel retaining walls that you can consider in New Zealand, the most popular of which include:
Cantilever retaining wall
These feature an inverted L-shaped design with a vertical drop from top to base. The base has a 90° angle to height, and a sloping front. These are made from concrete reinforced with steel.
Crib retaining wall
These consist of interconnected boxes (timber, concrete, or steel) that are filled with soil. These are the quickest to erect and they are suitable for the displacement of large soil volumes.
Sheet pile retaining wall
These are constructed from interlocking sections driven vertically into the soil or set in concrete to provide more support. They are generally made from steel, timber, or concrete piles. Steel retaining wall panels provide a continuous face where a retaining structure needs to hold back soil across a defined run. Metal retaining wall posts can support these panels, with their spacing and embedment set to suit the wall and ground conditions.
Anchored earth retaining wall
This vertical steel wall is supported by diagonal ties or struts.
The advantages of high-quality steel retaining walls
High-quality steel retaining walls add value to your property and aesthetic appeal to the most visible areas of your garden. They not only make your life easier by ensuring that you don’t have to slip and slide your way across an expanse of mud but they also provide a valuable defence against soil erosion. High-quality steel is tough and durable, plus it can be used to achieve several different looks. You can paint it any colour you like, varnish it, or leave it to corrode for a rustic touch. Suppliers of these high-quality products also tend to offer equivalent products in other materials like timber retaining walls.
How to choose a steel retaining wall that’s right for you
The type of steel retaining wall you choose depends on the purpose of the wall in your garden. If the wall is going to be supporting a big overhanging bank, it will need to be very large and very strong; if it’s going to be supporting a raised bed for flowers or vegetables, strength will be less important, and appearance will be more important. Choosing to work with an experienced professional is also an important part of your decision as installation will be a key element to success. For smaller garden levels, sleeper retaining wall steel posts can support a retaining system around raised beds and planting areas. Where a galvanised finish is required, specifications may refer to galvanised steel retaining wall posts or galvanised retaining wall posts.
