Double Sleeper Straight Support Spike - Sleeper Secure - 4716

Spacing depends on the application, but generally, place spikes every 1 to 2 meters along the length of the sleeper, or as needed for added support.

Yes, they are compatible with both treated and untreated sleepers. However, ensure the sleeper material is suitable for ground contact.

Drive the spike in as deep as possible to provide maximum stability. At least half the spike length should be embedded in the ground.

You will need a hammer or mallet. Safety glasses are recommended during installation.

Ensure the ground is compacted around the sleepers. Regularly inspect and tighten or replace any loose spikes.

While the spikes are designed for straight runs, they can be used on gently curved designs. For tighter curves, consider using flexible fixings.

Yes, these spikes are designed for various ground types. However, very hard or rocky ground may require pre-drilling or a more forceful installation method.

Pre-drill a pilot hole in the ground or use a more robust hammer. For very hard ground, consider using a metal driving tool to protect the spike's head.

Ensure the spike is driven in straight. Consider using additional spikes per sleeper or at closer intervals, particularly if the sleepers are stacked.

Check the ground for obstructions. Adjust the angle of installation to avoid obstructions. Ensure you are using the correct hammer or mallet.
