Sleepers

Our sleepers are New Softwood Green Tanalised (pressure treated) 200mm x 100mm x 2.4m. They come from UK sawmills using sustainably sourced timber that is specifically grown for use as construction grade timber and they have full FSC certification.

Although they start their life as green sleepers, they will fade naturally to first a honey brown colour and eventually end up silver/grey. This can be stopped by either restaining or repainting your sleepers regularly. These versatile sleepers are ideal for raised bedding and a range of garden applications. Trust in the quality and sustainability of our garden sleepers to bring enduring charm and functionality to your outdoor space.

£24+vat per sleeper

You can cut the sleepers using a circular saw, chainsaw or a hand saw; remember that any newly exposed cut surfaces will need treating with a wood preservative to avoid rotting. They are perfect for use as raised beds or mini retaining walls or steps to tier your garden.

Each sleeper weighs between 20 – 30 kg
