Sleeve-It® - Post Anchoring System

Sleeve-It® SD-1 is a pre-engineered fence post anchoring solution for enhancing below-grade foundational stability in fences placed on top of a segmental retaining wall (SRW).

The Sleeve-It design allows stable fence footings to be integrated into the support structure of the SRW while it is being constructed. Due to cantilevered form and other properties, using Sleeve-It during the SRW build allows a fence to be built close to the wall edge, eliminating the need for a setback.

Sleeve-It® is a registered trademark of Glen Raven, Inc. registered in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions

We suggest installing Sleeve-It approximately 600mm (3 blocks) below the proposed top of the wall (not including the capstone) by placing the Sleeve-It units against the back of the segmental retaining wall blocks. The minimum offset between the wall crest and fence is typically 0.9m. However, can be reduced to 0.5m if Sleeve-it is used. The Sleeve-It units should be spaced in accordance with the fence specifications. Note that the Sleeve-It void is to be filled with concrete around the fence post, once installed.
