Great vid I have been using those clips for a long time. A little expensive when employees loose them so I now make my own. One tip you can get a vertical steel grab it makes hooking onto each pist much quicker and easier. They can hold up to 1 tonne and cost about $150
These are SLS clips just to confirm the name and as stated below work out to $3.50 per clip. The only issue I see is loosing them down the hole whilst screwing them on. I love this method though Roy thanks for the video
Nice video on how to set the posts. I'm going to use exactly this type of posts (HEA 100 galvanised). These clips come in handy, I have to check if a suitable replacement is available in Europe, works better than wood clamps I think.
Hi Tom, We are happy to supply you with these clips from Australia to anywhere in Europe and if you think that there would be a demand for them, then maybe you could be our first distributor for all of Europe. Let me know what you think.
@@royr3820 Thank you. I have found suitable clips on the European market, these are used for fitting pipe and cable run mounting rails to beams but will serve equally well to hold a beam to a piece of timber. To have these sent from Australia is a costly business for me as I only need just 30 of these, buying an alternative here saves me hugely on P&P. I'm not a builder or carpenter by trade, but building the retaining wall as a DIY project.
@@Tom-Lahaye yeah mate, those clips you're talking about for attaching electrical conduit or water pipe are not the same thing as these. These are much thicker metal.
The star droppers probably have holes drilled in them to allow for wood screws. then it's just a matter of paitence and getting the beam level with a laser level (like the one used in the video)
These are 100UC steel and they were 2.1m long. Two clips can hold and suspend a 6.0m 100UC upright. If you're using a 150UC steel then two clips will hold a length of around 3.6m but anything longer will need an extra clip.
Hi Roy. Always looking to improve how to put posts in and come across your vid. How do you go when it comes to putting concrete in? I once did it your way and the posts would move and twist as it was shot in
Ben Evans we use 32mpa and at least 100 to 110 slump which is really wet. We use a post level as we pour and stop at least 400mm from the bottom to level it up before continuing the rest. Remember that you only need to level the front face of the steel because the sides are plumb with the brackets. We make and sell these clips called the SLS Clips in packets of ten clips and ten screws for all retaining wall contractors. Type in retaining wall steel brackets on eBay for more information. Hope this helps.

Good tip 👌
Curious as to how you get the timber straight and vertical using star droppers?
The star droppers probably have holes drilled in them to allow for wood screws.

Great job mate. We sub to your channel mate. Cheers!

Hi mate. What size are these posts? Are they rsj?
These are 100UC steel and they were 2.1m long. Two clips can hold and suspend a 6.0m 100UC upright. If you're using a 150UC steel then two clips will hold a length of around 3.6m but anything longer will need an extra clip.
