With proper installation and good drainage, these pressure-treated sleepers are designed to provide many years of service in outdoor conditions.

Splits are common in pressure-treated sleepers due to moisture evaporation. If the split is minor, it is purely cosmetic; if structural, use timber screws to reinforce the area.

This is expected with factory reject timber. If a smooth surface is required, the sleepers can be lightly sanded, though this will reveal the natural wood color underneath.

Pressure-treated wood may arrive damp from the treatment facility. Allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area before beginning your project.
