Madroño Post - Vertical Support for Sleepers and Planters
Madroño Post: a vertical concrete support with a wood texture
A sleeper set on edge with nothing holding it leans the moment the soil pushes against it. The Madroño Post is the missing piece: a vertical concrete support with a wood texture, available in 37 and 75 cm heights, that anchors sleepers and lets you build kerbs, planters and flower corners with a consistent finish.
✅ Key advantages
Structural role: holds sleepers upright and stops them leaning under the push of the soil.
Two heights: 37 cm for edges and low planters, 75 cm for taller enclosures and retaining.
Can be cut: takes a cut to match the height to the actual slope of the ground.
Same wood texture: post and sleeper together read as one continuous palisade.
Oak colour through the mix: no varnish or periodic treatment.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Vertical support for sleepers in kerbs and enclosures.
Building planters and flower corners.
Retaining terraced beds and small slopes.
Marking out paths and vegetable-garden plots.
Rustic-style landscaping projects.

🧰 Installation
Set out the line and mark each post's position according to the sleeper length.
Dig a footing at least a third of the post's height.
Pour concrete into the footing and plumb the post before it sets.
Let it harden for 24 hours before resting sleepers against it.
Fit the sleepers between posts and pack with aggregate or dry mortar.
Fit the last piece by cutting the post to the height needed.
📦 Available formats
37 × 10 × 10 cm in Oak — single unit or pallet of 40 units (two finish designs).
75 × 10 × 10 cm in Oak — single unit or pallet of 20 units (two finish designs).
💡 Professional tip: always bury a third of the post's height and concrete the footing, even if that seems excessive for 37 cm. Setting posts on compacted soil alone catches up with you the first winter: frost heave lifts the ground, the post comes loose, and the whole line of sleepers goes out of alignment at once.
