RAILWAY SLEEPERS TANALISED 8 FT 8" X 4"

Product Description

Sleepers are a fantastic multipurpose feature for garden and landscaping projects. Popular uses include raised garden beds, pathways, edging or borders, steps, and even fences or walls. These incised softwood sleepers are made from European softwood and pressure treated to resist decay and rot. Classified as UC4, these softwood sleepers are suitable for permanent contact with the ground outdoors. It’s no secret that UC4 treated softwood is the best choice for timber garden products. The treatment process involves kiln drying the timber down to around 28% moisture content before treatment, allowing it to penetrate deep into the wood. Without this intense kiln drying, water in the timber will prevent as much treatment getting into the material which makes it unsuitable for garden use. The timber is imported redwood which is naturally durable and requires no incising as redwood will allow treatment to penetrate the outer sapwood with the inner heartwood being naturallly durable anyway. As opposed to home grown C16 spruce pine fir mix species being incised.
