Why Choose This Product:
Proven Longevity – Pressure treatment penetrates deep into the timber, providing 25-40+ years of protection. Untreated softwood might fail within 3-5 years in ground contact.
Genuine Structural Strength – At 200mm × 100mm, these are full-dimension sleepers capable of real structural work. They handle retaining wall pressure, heavy loads, and demanding outdoor applications.
Cost-Effective Durability – While initially more expensive than untreated timber, you won’t be replacing rotted structures every few years. The cost per year of service is exceptional.
Versatility – The 2.4m length is long enough for substantial projects yet manageable for transport and handling. Easily cut to size while maintaining protective treatment.
Sustainable Choice – Sourced from responsibly managed forests. Pressure treatment extends lifespan dramatically, reducing replacement needs.
Ready to Use – Unlike reclaimed railway sleepers with contaminants and inconsistent sizing, these arrive ready for immediate installation with predictable, uniform dimensions.
Available from Ryedale Timber – Sourced from trusted suppliers with expert advice, available for collection or delivery across North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire.
