# Designing the Sleepers in a Retaining Wall Sleeper Calculator
> For example, if your sleeper is made of timber, then you'd select the Retaining Wall Sleeper preset under Timber Beam:
This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to add pre-existing sleeper retaining wall calculations as load links to the retaining wall sleeper preset in beams.
## Step 1
Create a Sleeper Retaining Wall calculation. We are currently in the process of writing a help article for this module; please stay tuned for that!
## Step 2
Create a beam calculation with the retaining wall sleeper preset. For more information on how to design beams using Calcs.com, please visit [our collection of support articles.](https://app.calcs.com/docs)
For example, if your sleeper is made of timber, then you'd select the Retaining Wall Sleeper preset under Timber Beam:
Please note that for demonstration purposes, a timber beam has been used. However, the retaining wall sleeper preset is available for Steel Beam, Cold-Formed Steel Beam, and Rectangular Concrete Beam calculators as well.
## Step 3
In the retaining wall sleeper calculator, link the sleeper wall retaining calculation (from [Step 1](#step1)) to the distributed loads table where it says "ADD LOAD LINK HERE."

](#step1)
You're all done! Loads on the sleeper beam will automatically update if the retaining wall is updated.
