FAQs

How long will the sleepers last?

With proper installation and care, these sleepers can last for many years, supported by a 15-year anti-rot guarantee.

Can I paint or stain the sleepers?

Yes, you can paint or stain the sleepers to match your desired aesthetic. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying any finish.

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a saw, level, measuring tape, drill, and appropriate fixings such as screws or nails designed for outdoor use.

Are the sleepers suitable for use with food-growing gardens?

Yes, but consider using a liner to separate the wood from the soil in direct contact with edibles, or use sleepers treated with food-safe preservatives.

How do I cut the sleepers?

Use a saw appropriate for cutting timber, such as a hand saw or circular saw. Ensure you wear safety glasses during cutting.

Can I use these sleepers for a deck?

These sleepers are ideal for the substructure of a deck or for creating borders, but not usually the deck surface itself.

Troubleshooting

Sleeper appears to be rotting prematurely.

Check for poor drainage or ground contact. Ensure proper ventilation and consider applying a wood preservative.

Sleeper is not level after installation.

Re-check the ground preparation and use shims to level the sleeper. Ensure accurate measurements.
