Sleeper RSJs made incorrectly?

[Dan1983]

Evening all

Ive had my RSJs delivered and they are starting to be installed but I don’t think the corner posts are correct 

Would there be a reason for them to be made in this way?

All the rest I’ve seen are like this

Perhaps intended to allow a bit of timber vertically in the corner? Reduces the visual impact of the RSJ?

My first thought that.

It’s not so bad in that orientation but thinking it will look odd when they are the opposite way round for the steps in the middle of the wall as it will skew/ offset everything 

Will ask in the morning if there was a reason as only one cemented in so far

It will really bug me i think

Got 6 of them and non refundable I think  😂

There are different ones for joining sleepers end to end in the middle of a wall..

I can't immediately see what you use for a T joint. Perhaps you have to bolt two of the above together?

Will be the same as the corner posts but will look like this from the front

All sorted 

Had an issue with one of the posts so had all the other ones replaced how I wanted 

The one installed will remain and will use the same style at the other end then tie the sleeper flower bed in by notching the end of the first sleeper like below
