These sleepers offer a robust, natural timber aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into outdoor environments, providing a strong foundation for various landscaping projects.

FAQs

Can these sleepers be used for vegetable beds?

Yes, they are suitable for raised beds, but it is recommended to line the inside with non-toxic landscaping fabric to keep soil away from the wood.

What tools do I need to install them?

You will generally need a drill, landscape screws, a spirit level for accuracy, and potentially a saw if you need to cut them to specific custom lengths.

Are these sleepers heavy?

They are made of solid timber and have a substantial weight, but the 0.9M length makes them much easier to handle than traditional full-sized sleepers.

Do I need to treat the wood before using it?

While ready for use, applying an additional layer of outdoor wood preservative can significantly extend the lifespan of the timber.

Can I stack these to make a higher wall?

Yes, you can stack them. Ensure they are secured to one another using long landscape screws or metal joining plates for structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

Sleepers moving or shifting after installation

Ensure they are properly anchored using timber stakes or corner brackets; check that the base foundation is compacted.

Surface showing signs of moisture damage

Allow the wood to dry completely, sand lightly if necessary, and apply an outdoor-rated timber wood preservative.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Klikstrom sleepers, follow these guidelines:

Preparation: Clear the ground area of debris and ensure the surface is level.
Installation: For retaining walls, use landscape screws or timber pegs to secure the sleepers together and anchor them into the ground.
Compatibility: These sleepers can be paired with common landscaping materials like heavy-duty wood screws, landscape fabric, and gravel for drainage.
Care: While the timber is robust, applying a high-quality outdoor wood preservative every 1-2 years will protect the wood from rot, moisture, and UV damage. Keep the sleepers free from prolonged contact with standing water to prevent degradation.
