FAQs

What is the lifespan of the sleepers?

The lifespan can vary, but with proper care and maintenance, the sleepers can last for many years due to the pressure treatment.

Are the sleepers suitable for contact with food crops?

While the wood is treated, consider using a liner or barrier if you intend to plant edible crops directly in contact with the sleepers.

How do I cut the sleepers?

Use a saw designed for cutting treated timber. Ensure the blade is sharp and appropriate for the thickness of the wood.

Can I paint or stain the sleepers?

Yes, you can paint or stain the sleepers. However, ensure the wood is dry and use a suitable exterior-grade paint or stain.

How should I store the sleepers?

Store the sleepers in a dry place, preferably off the ground, to prevent moisture damage.

What is Wane/Untrimmed Bark?

Wane refers to the presence of the original curved edge of the tree on the timber. This is a natural characteristic of the product.

Are these sleepers suitable for building a deck?

While they can be used in some decking applications, it's generally best to use decking boards specifically designed for decking projects.
