The A Perry SleeperSecure Double Sleeper Support Spike in Silver is designed for DIY landscapers and gardeners needing a robust solution for securing double-layered railway sleepers. Its key benefit is providing a durable, corrosion-resistant anchor for timber sleeper structures, ensuring longevity and stability. A potential consideration is its specific application for double layers, meaning it might be over-engineered for single-layer projects.

Its main purpose is to securely fasten and support a double layer of railway sleepers, providing stability for landscaping features like planters, borders, and garden beds.
This grade of stainless steel is chosen for its excellent resistance to corrosion and its ability to prevent black staining, especially when in contact with oak sleepers which release acidic tannins.
While it will provide support, this spike is specifically designed for double layers. For single layers, a different, potentially smaller, support might be more appropriate, though this spike would still offer robust stability.
The number of spikes depends on the size and height of your sleeper structure. For corners and along longer runs, spacing them as needed to ensure the stability of the entire construction is recommended.
No, the A2/304 Grade Stainless Steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan and maintaining its appearance in outdoor conditions.
The spike is designed with an extra shear angle and notches for extra grip, making it suitable for various ground types, ensuring it stays firmly in place.
Ensure the ground is not excessively hard or compacted. Loosening the soil slightly before insertion or using a heavier mallet can help. Check for hidden stones or roots.
Ensure the spike is fully driven into the ground. Verify that the spike is positioned correctly to engage both layers of sleepers. Consider using additional spikes for larger or taller structures if needed.
This spike is made of A2/304 stainless steel specifically to prevent staining from oak tannins. If marks are appearing, they may be from the sleepers themselves or other external factors. Ensure the spike is clean before installation.
