Incised heavy duty sleeper

Our incised sleepers (250mm x 125mm) are tough, durable, and perfect for all kinds of landscaping projects. Whether you’re building a raised flower bed, a sturdy retaining wall, or a rustic garden path, these sleepers are a great choice.

Incised timber goes through a special process where tiny cuts (or incisions) are made on its surface. These cuts help wood preservatives soak deeper into the timber. This makes timber better protected against rot, fungi, and insects—especially important when it’s used in wet or ground-contact areas.

Thanks to the incision process, these sleepers last much longer than untreated timber. The extra-deep treatment means they can handle tough weather, damp soil, and the challenges of outdoor use. This makes them a smart choice for gardens and landscaping projects in the UK, where wet conditions are common.

These sleepers are incredibly versatile and can be used for many outdoor projects. Some ideas include, holding back soil to create retaining walls and different levels in your garden. You can also use these sleepers to build planters for flowers, vegetables, or herbs. Define garden paths or create edges for lawns and flower beds or stack them to create rustic benches or seating areas. Whatever your project, these sleepers are strong, easy to use, and provide a natural, rustic look that blends beautifully with any outdoor space.
