Choosing an integrated retaining wall fence
When designing your outdoor space, there are numerous factors to consider – budget, design inspiration and ease of installation. That’s where ModularWalls’ TerraFirm® integrated retaining wall fence solution comes in.
Traditionally, retaining walls and fences are kept separate, which can lead to a disjointed aesthetic and an unfinished look. The TerraFirm® panel changes the game by seamlessly integrating the retaining wall and fence into one cohesive, premium design.
A cohesive design solution
The innovative TerraFirm® panel replaces the need for timber or concrete sleepers, allowing the integration of the retaining wall and fence into one seamless design – resulting in a consistent, visually appealing project.
The TerraFirm® panel seamlessly integrates with ModularWalls’ boundary walls and fencing solutions to create a high-functioning wall structure. Achieve a sleek finish by choosing SlimWall® with integrated retaining. Conversely, make a statement with VogueWall® – the design options are endless.
Alternatively, take a leaf out of Andrew Winter’s book and choose TrendWall® with integrated retaining panels (the perfect option for poolside and coastal applications).
A premium, high-end retaining wall fence
Once painted, ModularWalls’ range of products with integrated TerraFirm® retaining walls closely resemble rendered masonry walls, with a minimised risk of cracking or staining.
Paint, render, or finish the integrated solution in any colour or texture that complements your outdoor design.
Streamlined installation
With fewer trades needed on-site and minimal machinery requirements when compared to traditional concrete sleeper retaining walls, TerraFirm® offers a cost-effective, straightforward installation process. The lightweight reinforced composite TerraFirm® retaining panels are faster and safer to install than concrete retaining walls.

Maximising usable space with TerraFirm®
Unlike traditional retaining walls, TerraFirm® does not require strip footings. Furthermore, an increase in the post centres can result in fewer footings than traditional concrete sleepers.
With TerraFirm®, it’s possible to not only maximise the usable space in your outdoor area, but also to minimise disruption of underground services.
An enduring retaining wall fence
The fibre-cement outer skin of TerraFirm® retaining panels is low maintenance and is less susceptible to water leaching or cracking*, allowing for a long-term premium finish.
In addition, the fibre-cement surface is more flexible than concrete sleepers and is, therefore, less susceptible to cracking.
There’s no need to settle for the bulky, traditional options of concrete or timber sleeper retaining walls any longer.
Incorporating boundary fence and earth retaining functions into a single wall structure, TerraFirm® retaining wall panels create durable and seamless retaining walls. TerraFirm® offers easy, efficient installation. With TerraFirm®, it’s possible to to maximise the usable space in your outdoor areas – setting a new standard for the retaining wall fence market.
*Please note, correct drainage must be installed prior to installation to minimise risk of leaching and cracking.
