Product Information

Smooth edges for a softer finish.

Pressure-treated with Tanalith E for longevity and Tanatone for a rich, warm brown colour (for more information on this treatment, please refer to the 'Specification' section below).

Planed and bevelled sleepers, also known as planed all round (PAR), are processed to achieve a smooth surface with bevelled edges for a gentle slope. Virtually splinter-free, these sleepers are an ideal choice for children’s play areas, schools, parks, and for crafting benches and outdoor furniture.

These beautiful sleepers will bring character and warmth to any outdoor space.

Highly versatile, Gardoo's sleepers serve a wide range of both practical and decorative purposes.

Our exquisite natural sleepers, often referred to as railway sleepers, allow you to create stunning garden features and transform areas of your garden with ease, but with maximum impact.

For practical applications, sleepers offer a straightforward and effective solution for building retaining walls. They also perform brilliantly when used to create garden steps and construct raised beds.

Seeking inspiration for unique garden furniture? Sleepers provide an elegant, simple option for crafting outdoor seating, garden benches, and tables. You can also use garden sleepers to build decking or create striking pergolas, garden arches, and arbours, perfect for adding another dimension to your garden or creating shaded seating areas. By incorporating sleepers into a pergola as an extension of your home, you can easily blur the line between indoors and outdoors, creating a sheltered outdoor space for seating or dining.

Sleepers are also excellent for edging vegetable gardens, parterres, patios, paths, and driveways. You can easily create steps, raised beds, and retaining walls with sleepers, or unleash your creativity by designing themed gardens or sculptural elements with them.

The possibilities are endless – what will you create?

As a natural product, each sleeper is one-of-a-kind. This means variations in colour, splits, knots, and wanes are to be expected.

Please note: Due to the finishing process, the final size of a 100mm x 200mm Planed & Bevelled (PAR) Sleeper is 96mm x 196mm.

PLEASE NOTE: TWO PEOPLE must be available on the day of delivery to assist the driver with offloading sleepers.

If no one is available, the driver will not be able to complete the delivery, and you will incur a redelivery charge. Please note that each delivery is allocated a 30-minute unloading time.

Finish:  All round planed and bevelled (PAR)
Material: Softwood
Colour: Brown*
Size: 2400mm x 100mm x 200mm (finished size of these PAR Sleepers is 2400mm x 96mm x 196mm)
Weight: 29kg average weight (as a natural wood product, weight can vary depending on a number of factors, so actual weight may be higher or lower than this).
Treatment: Pressure-treated with Tanalith E and coloured with Tanatone. Tanalith E is a water-based wood preservative that contains copper and proven organic biocides.  Tanalith E pressure-treated timber has a long-term protection against fungal and insect attack when used both in and out of contact with the ground, in appropriate applications.

Please note:

*As part of the natural weathering and ageing process, these brown sleepers will gradually mellow to a dark brown/ grey colour.  This process will take approximately 3-6 months for sleepers that are used outdoors, with the sun helping to bleach the wood.

This weathering process does not indicate any loss of preservative protection.

However, if you wish to retain the original colour of your sleepers, we recommend that you retreat your sleepers by applying a stain/preservative or varnish before the original colour fades.  Continue this retreatment annually to maintain that colour.

The stated dimensions of our sleepers refer to the finished size. 

As a natural product, each sleeper is unique.  This means that there may be colour variations, splits, knots and wanes.

As a processed wood product, please be aware that sleepers may contain splinters.  Care should be taken in handling sleepers and we recommend wearing gloves when handling.
