New 200 x 100 Brown Eco Treated Softwood Railway Sleeper

Our 200 x 100mm Brown Eco Treated Softwood Railway Sleepers offer a substantial, robust profile that delivers structural strength and a rich, earthy finish to any landscape design. A favorite among professional landscapers and garden enthusiasts alike, this substantial 4x8" (nominal) dimension provides exceptional stability for medium-to-heavy groundworks without the extreme weight of solid hardwood.

Pressure-treated with Tanatone (Brown Eco-Treatment), these sleepers receive deep-penetration protection against fungal decay, insect attack, and wet rot. The treatment gives the timber an instant warm brown tone, which mellows naturally into an attractive, rustic silver-grey patina over time under sunlight.

Key Applications & Performance

•  - Heavy-Duty Garden Structures: Ideal for substantial multi-tier raised beds, retaining earth walls, garden steps, path boundaries, terrace edges, and heavy-duty driveway edging.
•  - Easy Handling & Installation: Despite their substantial size, softwood sleepers remain manageable to maneuver and cut on-site. They fix cleanly with heavy-duty Timber Titan landscape screws without requiring pre-drilled pilot holes.
•  - Non-Toxic & Safe: Environmentally treated without harsh creosote or hazardous chemicals, making them safe for domestic gardens, children's play zones, and vegetable planters.

Custom Planing & Finishing Options

For refined landscaping, seating, or contemporary architectural borders, we offer custom in-house machining options:

•  - Sawn (Standard): Straight-sawn finish offering clean edges and a traditional, rustic look suited for standard groundworks, retaining, and soil borders.
•  - PAR (Planed All Round): Machine-planed smooth on all four sides to eliminate rough grain and splinters—providing a sleek, uniform finish suited for exposed garden furniture or modern raised beds.
•  - PARB (Planed All Round & Bevelled): Planed smooth across all four faces with neatly rounded/bevelled edges along the lengths, making them comfortable to touch and ideal for low garden seating walls, steps, and handrails.

(Note: Planing removes a small amount of timber from the nominal dimensions, resulting in a slightly reduced finished size.)
