Green Treated Softwood Sleepers

Pressure Treated Softwood Sleepers for Landscaping 

Green treated sleepers are pressure treated softwood sleepers widely used for garden and landscaping projects across the UK. Manufactured from new sawn timber, these wooden sleepers offer straighter edges and more consistent dimensions than reclaimed alternatives, making them easier to stack, align and install. 

All green treated sleepers are tanalised pressure treated with a green preservative, helping to protect the timber against rot, fungal decay and insect attack. This treatment makes them suitable for outdoor use and ideal for a wide range of landscaping applications. 

Why Choose Green Treated Softwood Sleepers? 

Green treated softwood sleepers are a popular choice for both domestic and trade projects due to their durability, versatility and value. 

Key benefits include: 

• Pressure treated for long-term outdoor performance

• Straight, new sawn edges for cleaner installation

• Suitable for raised beds, borders, steps and structural landscaping

• More consistent sizing than reclaimed sleepers

• Cost-effective option for larger garden projects 

Over time, the green treatment naturally fades to a warm brown and then to a silver-grey finish when exposed to the elements. Sleepers can also be stained or finished if a different appearance is preferred. 

Sizes & Quantities Available

• Common lengths such as 2.4m garden sleepers

• Multiple thickness options available

Softwood Sleepers Compared to Other Options 

Green treated softwood sleepers are typically lighter and easier to handle than hardwood sleepers, making them suitable for most garden landscaping applications. 

Hardwood sleepers offer increased density and longevity and are often selected for heavy-duty or load-bearing projects. Reclaimed sleepers provide a weathered appearance but can vary in size, condition and consistency. 

For most customers, green treated softwood sleepers offer the best balance of durability, appearance and cost.

• Raised garden beds and planters
