The FenceMate Sleeper Truncated Bracket is designed for professional landscapers and DIY enthusiasts who need to build robust timber retaining walls or garden borders in confined spaces. Its primary benefit is the truncated design, which allows for secure structural reinforcement near pavement edges or in tight corners without the risk of protruding metal, though users should ensure they have the correct wood screws for their specific sleeper density.

No, the package includes the bracket only. You must source appropriate exterior-grade wood screws separately.
Yes, although the galvanised finish is designed for outdoor weather resistance, it is perfectly safe and functional for indoor timber framing.
The number depends on the height and length of your wall; typically, place a bracket at every joint where two sleepers meet to ensure structural stability.
The truncated shape allows the bracket to fit into tight spaces without protruding, which is essential when working near paving or existing walls.
The bracket features a galvanised finish, which is highly resistant to corrosion, though it should be kept clear of extremely acidic soil conditions for maximum longevity.
Check that the pilot holes were not drilled too wide for the chosen screws and ensure all screws are fully tightened into solid timber.
Ensure you are using appropriate pilot hole sizes before driving screws, especially near the ends of the timber grain.
To install, position the bracket at the junction of your sleepers. Use a marking tool to identify the screw locations, then pre-drill pilot holes to prevent the timber from cracking. Secure the bracket using heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant exterior wood screws compatible with the gauge of the bracket holes. While the galvanised finish is highly durable, it is recommended to keep the area around the bracket clear of excessive water pooling. Periodically inspect the screws for any signs of loosening due to soil settling, and tighten as necessary to maintain the integrity of the border.
