I’m trying to seperate the concrete pathway and the soil with a sleeper.
Even though I tried leveling couple of times , there’s always a gap. I am looking for any ideas to align it with concrete without gaps.
my idea is to seperate both with sleeper and attach Merabu over the top of sleeper.
Hi @nvelaga,
Thank you for your question.
If the side of the concrete slab is not perfectly plumb and the bottom of your trench is not perfectly level, you will struggle to get your sleeper to marry up to the concrete perfectly without something holding it in place.
I have two potential solutions.
The first is to use Dynabolts to physically attach the sleeper to the side of the concrete. As it tightens, the Dynabolt will pull the sleeper over tight to the concrete.
The second option is to use these 50 x 50 x 600mm Hardwood Stakes driven down into the soil at an angle towards the sleeper and concrete so that the sleeper is held tight to the concrete.
Either option should work.
Let me know what you think.
