Product Information
A practical choice for everyday landscaping, offering enough strength to build raised beds, steps, edging, and low retaining features while remaining lighter and easier to handle than bulkier sections.
Sleeper spans typical bed and border dimensions, aligns with standard fence and deck layouts, and reduces the number of joints required in construction.
The timber is pressure treated UC3 standards for reliable outdoor performance with a brown preservative, which penetrates deep into the grain to protect against fungal decay, rot, and insect attack provided cut edges are re-sealed with an appropriate preservative.
Features & Benefits
-
2.4m length: Spans common garden bed and fence bay dimensions, reducing the need for multiple joints, speeding up installation, and creating cleaner finishes with less material waste.
-
100 × 200mm profile: A practical section that offers strong performance for raised beds, edging, and steps while being lighter and easier to cut and handle than bulkier sleeper sizes.
-
UC3 brown pressure treatment: Preservative treatment penetrates the timber to protect against fungal decay, rot, and insect attack, giving the sleeper reliable durability for long-term use outdoors above ground.
-
Workable softwood: Can be cut, drilled, and fixed with standard woodworking tools, allowing easy adjustments on site for precise fitting.
-
Natural timber finish: Supplied with a brown tint from treatment that will weather to a silver-grey patina if left untreated, or can be over-coated with stains and oils for a customised look.
Please Note: Timber is a natural material and variations in colour, grain, and finish should be expected. Dimensions are nominal. Treat cut or drilled edges with a suitable preservative to maintain durability.
