Product Information

Full details

The FenceMate Sleeper Angle Bracket is the ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and landscapers looking to construct sturdy garden edging, raised beds, or timber frames. Engineered for strength and outdoor durability, these brackets ensure secure 90-degree connections between sleepers. While they provide excellent structural support, users should ensure they are using appropriately sized timber screws to match the bracket's pre-drilled holes for optimal stability in exterior environments.

FAQs

Can these brackets be used with treated pine sleepers?

Yes, they are compatible with standard treated pine, but ensure your screws are rated for use with treated timber to avoid corrosion.

Do I need special tools for installation?

A standard drill, driver bit, and measuring tape are sufficient for most installations.

Are these brackets weather-proof?

They feature a corrosion-resistant silver finish designed for outdoor use, though regular inspection is recommended.

Can I use these for structural retaining walls?

They are ideal for garden-level retaining features, but check local building codes if you are building walls higher than 600mm.

Are screws included with the bracket?

No, fasteners are typically sold separately to allow you to choose the length and type best suited for your specific timber thickness.

Troubleshooting

Bracket is loose after installation

Check that the wood screws are fully tightened and ensure that the timber hasn't shrunk away from the bracket due to drying out.

Timber is splitting near the screws

Always pre-drill pilot holes that are slightly smaller than the shank of your chosen screw.

Surface rust appearing on the bracket

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply an outdoor-rated protective metal paint or galvanizing spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-strength steel for secure timber connections
Silver protective finish resists outdoor weathering
Simplifies construction of right-angled sleepers
Versatile for various garden landscaping projects

Cons

Fasteners (screws/bolts) are usually sold separately
Standard size may not accommodate extra-thick architectural sleepers
Silver finish may show signs of wear if the protective coating is scratched during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure your sleepers are cut square to ensure a tight fit against the bracket.
Alignment: Position the bracket firmly into the corner where the two timbers meet. Use a carpenter's square to verify the 90-degree angle before marking your pilot holes.
Fastening: Use high-quality exterior-grade screws or galvanized coach bolts to prevent electrochemical reaction with the bracket. Always drill pilot holes if working with particularly hard or dry timber to avoid splitting the wood.
Maintenance: Periodically check the tightness of the screws after the first season of use, as timber may shrink or expand due to moisture changes in the garden. If you notice any scratches on the silver finish, apply a cold-galvanizing spray to maintain the anti-corrosion barrier.
