Sleeper (8 x 4 x 2.4)

What are garden sleepers used for? Garden sleepers are thick, durable timber beams used for landscaping projects such as retaining walls, raised beds, steps, and borders. They give structure and definition to outdoor spaces and can be used creatively in patios, slopes, and garden edges. Sleepers are stronger and bigger than standard timber boards, so they’re ideal where you need weight‑bearing support or a robust feature. What sizes and finishes are available? City Fencing sleepers come in a range of lengths and thicknesses to suit different landscaping needs. They’re typically pressure‑treated to resist rot and insect damage, so they last longer outdoors without frequent maintenance. Choose the right size based on how high you want walls or edging, and how much soil pressure they need to support. Can sleepers be used in damp or wet areas? Yes. Pressure‑treated sleepers are designed to withstand moisture and ground contact, making them suitable around ponds, borders, and areas with regular watering. However, adding good drainage or a gravel layer behind retaining walls helps prevent water buildup and ensures your sleepers stay stable and durable over time. How do I care for timber sleepers? To keep sleepers looking good and lasting longer, treat them with wood preservative, stain, or decking oil every couple of years. This helps protect against weathering, fading, and moisture. If they are used as a raised bed or retaining wall, avoid placing plants that hold constant moisture right against the wood without drainage, as this can accelerate wear.   What Our Customers Say Festers travels 2026-04-26 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 2nd visit 3rd tomorrow well happy with customer service a well happy future long turn customer exellent service 5x Paula Elbow 2026-04-15 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Valerie ONeill 2026-03-16 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having ordered 16 fence panels there was a blip with the original delivery, but having spoken to the company they were rescheduled and arrived on the arranged day within the agreed timeline and more than happy with the quality of the fencing. I would recommend City Fencing. �� Clair Wright 2026-03-14 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Jacqueline Hourihan 2025-07-30 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely delighted with the deal I got from this company from start to finish they are the best company to go to. I popped in with comparative quotes and I didn't show them what I had been quoted I let them price my job much cheaper than some of the places that I had been to. It wasn't just the price it was the quality the range and the advice that I was given. I've been back again and I've had another quote for another property fair to say that it's a good quote and I'll be going ahead. Proper pleasant people who run it down to earth but not patronising they explain what's needed and no pressure whatsoever leave you till your ready then very quick service. I wish this company many more years of successful teading supplying fences they are the best in the business Rebecca Marsh 2025-06-05 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
