Timber sleeper walls are structures made from horizontal wooden beams, typically referred to as sleepers. They are commonly used in landscaping, gardening, and construction for various purposes, including:
Retrofitting and Raised Floors: In construction, timber sleeper walls can also be used to support raised floors, especially in situations where you need to create a ventilated sub-floor space.
Retaining Walls: Timber sleepers are often used to create retaining walls to hold back soil on a slope or to create raised garden beds. The sleepers are usually stacked horizontally, sometimes with metal or wooden posts for added stability.
Garden Edging: Sleepers can be laid horizontally to define garden beds, paths, or borders. This is a simple and effective way to create neat, defined edges in a garden.
Steps and Terracing: Timber sleepers can be used to create steps or terraces in a garden. By stacking and securing the sleepers, you can form sturdy and attractive steps or terraces on sloped terrain.
Fencing and Barriers: Sleepers can be used to build fences or low barriers, providing a rustic, natural look that blends well with garden landscapes.
