Perry SleeperSecure No.4734 Triple Sleeper Support Spike Corner - Silver Steel

Its primary purpose is to provide secure, stable support for the corners of structures built with three layers of railway sleepers, ensuring precise angles and structural integrity for planters, edging, and garden beds.

No, this specific model (No.4734) is designed exclusively for triple-layer sleeper configurations to ensure optimal stability and fit.

The spike is available in a standard steel finish and a more durable Stainless Steel (A2/304) finish for enhanced weather and corrosion resistance.

The spike should be driven deep enough into the ground to firmly support the intended three layers of sleepers. The exact depth will depend on ground conditions, but it should be fully embedded for maximum stability.

While the spike provides the core support and alignment, you will typically need additional timber screws or bolts to fasten the sleepers securely to each other for a complete structure.

The Stainless Steel version offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for damp environments or areas where longevity is a top priority. It requires less maintenance and will maintain its appearance longer than the standard steel option.

No, the design of the SleeperSecure No.4734 is specifically for creating strong internal corners. For straight edges, different support solutions would be more appropriate.

Ensure the SleeperSecure spike is driven fully into the ground. Check that all three sleeper layers are securely seated against the spike's supports. Consider adding extra ground anchors or concrete for enhanced stability, especially for taller structures or in challenging soil conditions.

Slightly adjust the position of the spike or the sleepers before fully embedding the spike. Ensure the ground is level. For stubborn alignments, a rubber mallet can be used gently to tap sleepers into place.

Clean the rusted areas with a wire brush. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a suitable metal paint or sealant designed for outdoor use. For severe rust, consider replacing the spike with the Stainless Steel option.

This spike is designed to slot and hold sleepers. Pre-drilling holes in the sleepers might be necessary for fastening them together or to the spike if required by your specific design. Ensure you are using appropriate length and type of fasteners for timber construction.
