These brown softwood incised sleepers are a sturdy, good-value choice for landscaping: raised beds, retaining walls, edging and general garden builds. Each one measures 2400mm long by 200 x 100mm, a solid section that stacks and fixes well.
The incised part matters. Small cuts are made across the timber so the preservative soaks in deeper, which helps the wood resist rot and last longer outdoors. These are treated with Tanatone for a brown finish, and the treatment makes them suitable for ground-contact use.
Softwood sleepers are light enough to handle and easy to cut and shape on site, so they suit DIY and professional projects alike. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
These brown softwood sleepers are straight-cut, brown-treated timber that handles most garden and landscaping jobs. Softwood is light and easy to work, so they lift, cut and shape without much effort. That makes them a practical pick for raised beds, edging, steps and general construction.
They’re treated with Tannatone, a brown preservative that makes them suitable for ground-contact use, so they hold up where untreated timber would rot. The brown finish weathers to a tidy, natural look outdoors.
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 compressed sawdust blocks are a clean, no-fuss solid fuel for open fires, stoves and chimineas. Each block is made from sawdust compressed under high pressure, with nothing else added: no binders, additives or harmful chemicals, just dense wood that burns steadily.
They’re an easy way to keep a fire going, on their own or alongside logs and other solid fuels. Because they’re compact and dry, they light readily and pack plenty of heat into a small block.
This is the 10kg box, priced at £8.50, with the per-box price falling to as low as £8.00 when you order more. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
These eco firelighters are made from wood wool strands bound with paraffin and candle wax. The wax intensifies the burn and helps each lighter last longer, so you get a reliable flame to get a fire going.
To use one, just light a strand of the wood wool. Each firelighter burns for around 5 to 10 minutes, which is plenty of time to catch kindling, coal or charcoal. They work indoors and outdoors, so they suit open fires, stoves, BBQs and chimineas alike.
They come in various box sizes, so you can buy a small box or stock up. We deliver bagged fuels and firelighters across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.

This FENCEMATE double-pin corner bracket is a quick, secure way to join timber sleepers at a right angle, the kind of fixing you need on the corners of a raised bed, planter or retaining wall. The double pin gives extra holding power where the corner takes the load.
It’s made from heavy-duty 2mm galvanised steel, so it shrugs off rust, rain and general weather and keeps the joint solid for the long haul. It works with all standard sleeper sizes and goes up quickly, whether you’re a weekend DIYer or building these for a living.

This FENCEMATE double-pin corner bracket joins timber sleepers at a right angle, the fixing you need at the corners of a raised bed, planter or retaining wall. The double pin adds holding power where the corner takes the load.
It’s made from heavy-duty 2mm steel, here finished in a powder-coated Olive RAL 7002 green. That finish does two things: it adds extra weather protection on top of the steel, and it blends in neatly with green-treated sleepers, so the bracket disappears into the build rather than standing out.
It resists rust and outdoor wear, works with all standard sleeper sizes, and fits quickly for DIY or professional jobs. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.

The Flame Tower patio heater is a tall stainless steel gas heater that brings warmth and a visible flame to a patio or garden. It runs on propane LPG, with a maximum heat output of around 13kW, enough to take the chill off an outdoor seating area on cooler evenings.
It stands roughly 2.2 metres tall once assembled and weighs about 27kg, so it’s a substantial, stable heater rather than a tabletop unit. We’d suggest running it from a 13kg Patio Gas bottle.
One thing to note: the 2m gas hose with jubilee clips and the 27mm regulator are bought separately, so add those if you don’t already have them. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
FuelBox is a 20 litre bag-in-box of kerosene (home heating oil), made for emergency and top-up use when your oil tank runs low. The sealed bag-in-box design is cleaner and easier to handle than a jerry can, with a screw-on lid and pouring spout, and the box is easy to store and dispose of.
The kerosene is treated with the Exocet Fast Flame additive, which is designed to improve how the fuel burns and to help protect your system. It’s intended to resist water contamination, cut deposit and sludge build-up around nozzles and heat exchangers, guard against rust and help keep the fuel stable in storage.
Each box holds 20 litres and weighs around 17kg. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
Glolite is a premium smokeless fuel for open fires, cookers, room heaters and multi-fuel stoves. It’s authorised for use in smoke control areas, which matters locally: Reading has been a smoke control area since December 2024, so the fuel you burn needs to be on the authorised list. Glolite is.
It gives a clean, steady burn for everyday heating, and as a smokeless fuel it produces far less smoke than house coal or damp wood. This is the 20kg bag.
A single bag is £16.50, with the per-bag price falling to as low as £15.75 when you order more. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
Granulite water softener granules are a granular salt for water softeners and dishwashers. The loose granule format dissolves cleanly, so it’s the one to choose if your softener or dishwasher takes granular salt rather than tablets or blocks.
With nothing added and nothing taken away, these are a pure softening salt that gives good results in both your softener and your dishwasher, helping keep limescale and hard-water residue under control. This is the 10kg bag, with tough packaging that’s easy to handle and store.
There’s a minimum order of 10 bags, and the per-bag price falls the more you order, as low as £5.25 a bag. We deliver across our defined Reading area, with each order to one location, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
