Green Softwood Sleepers
Price range: £13.20 through £36.00
These green softwood sleepers are new green-treated timber for raised beds, edging, steps and general garden landscaping. Light and easy to handle, they cut and shape readily, which makes them a flexible building block for all sorts of projects.
They’re treated with Tanalith E, which makes them suitable for ground-contact use, so they hold up where untreated timber would rot. The green treatment weathers over time, turning brown and then a silvery grey unless you paint or stain it, which many people are happy to let happen for a natural look.
They come in various sizes, so you can match the sleeper to the job. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888 to check sizes and prices.

These green softwood sleepers are new green-treated timber, a versatile building block for the garden. Softwood is lighter and easier to work than hardwood, so these sleepers lift, cut and shape without much effort, which makes them a popular choice for raised beds, edging, steps, retaining structures and general construction.
They’re treated with Tanalith E, a preservative treatment that makes the timber suitable for ground-contact application. That’s the key point with any sleeper going into soil or sitting on wet ground: untreated wood will rot, while treated timber like this stands up to it. The green colour isn’t permanent. Left to the weather, it gradually turns brown and then a silvery grey, which is a natural look in itself. If you’d rather keep a colour, the timber takes paint or stain.
Because they come in various sizes, it’s worth telling us what you’re building so we can point you to the right section. Sleepers are heavy and bulky to move in quantity, which is where local delivery to your door earns its keep.

FAQs
Are green softwood sleepers suitable for ground contact?
Yes. They’re treated with Tanalith E, which makes them suitable for ground-contact use such as raised beds and retaining structures. Untreated timber isn’t suitable in the ground, so the treatment is what lets these sleepers cope with soil and damp.
Will the green colour stay?
No, and that’s normal. The green weathers over time, turning brown and then a silvery grey. Many people are happy to let it, as it’s a natural look. If you want to keep a colour, the timber takes paint or stain.
What sizes do the sleepers come in?
They’re available in various sizes, so the best thing is to tell us what you’re building and we’ll point you to the right section. Call the yard on 0118 9242888 and we’ll confirm what’s in stock and the price.
