Add 100mm height to sleeper retaining wall

[leemurray123]

Hi, hoping someone can help. I'm doing the garden landscaping myself and accidently built the retaining wall about 80-100mm too short. Any ideas on adding height but keeping the short edge? I was thinking 3m Brown Fence Posts at 100mmx100mm on top, would that suffice or would I be better adding normal 2.4mm sleepers on the fat side to get the required height? Cheers! Lee

Thanks for coming back! Been doing some leveling today, back breaking

Can't you just bolt some bits of timber of the required height and matching width onto what's there?

Aye was thinking that. 3m brown fence posts to match the sleepers. I have some steel brackets left I can screw in, only a small one for a slight slope. Didn't feel slight dragging it all down today though! Cheers.

I'd have used some countersunk coach bolts.
