Sleepers and Raised Beds


Sleepers and Raised Beds

The natural durability of Larch makes this timber ideal for building sleeper walls and creating raised beds where the timber is in contact with the ground

Standard sleepers are 2400 x 200 x 100mm

In addition to offering sleepers for making raised beds we can offer cheaper alternatives such as 200 x 50mm Battens which can do the job just as well. In fact with our inhouse sawmilling facilities we are able to cut whatever sizes you require

All our Larch can be supplied either treated or untreated. If the raised beds are being used to grow vegetables, however, we would strongly recommend that untreated Larch is used so stop the chemicals within the preservative from contaminating the soil. Larch is the most durable of all the softwood timbers in the UK. Using untreated Larch sleepers will not significantly reduce their life expectancy.

You can see some examples of applications of our sleepers and raised beds below, and also in our main photo gallery
