Sleepers & Landscape Timbers

The primary differences between Sleepers and Jakwall lie in their size, edges, and design features. Sleepers have straight edges and measure 100 x 200mm, while Jakwall features chamfered edges and a smaller size of 90 x 140mm. Jakwall also offers an option with grooves across the face, adding a distinctive aesthetic.

In terms of application, Sleepers are often used in traditional settings, while Jakwall is popular in contemporary or modern garden designs. Both are Jakcure® treated, ensuring a 25-year guarantee for durability and longevity.

Timber Sleepers and Jakwall landscape timbers are versatile solutions for a variety of landscaping projects, including retaining walls, raised beds and flower beds, raised ponds, benches, paths, and general hard landscaping.

The longevity of sleepers is heavily influenced by their quality and the treatment process applied. Many options available on the market offer limited or no guarantees, with lifespans ranging from as little as 5 to 20 years. This can result in frequent replacements, which are both inconvenient and costly, given the significant effort and expense involved in installation.

In contrast, our garden sleepers and landscape timbers are treated with our advanced Jakcure® pressure treatment process, ensuring exceptional durability and a 25-year guarantee. Unlike many alternatives, they require no maintenance, staining, or painting—delivering the same outstanding reliability as our fencing, gates, and other timber products.

With Jacksons Fencing garden sleepers and landscape timbers, there’s no need for painting or staining. Treated with our premium Jakcure® pressure treatment process, they come with a 25-year guarantee for long-lasting durability and maintenance-free performance.

In contrast, most other sleepers on the market come with limited guarantees and often require regular painting or staining to extend their lifespan, adding extra time and cost to their upkeep.

A sleeper that has the longest guarantee, no maintenance requirements, and little imperfections is the best. Our softwood sleepers and landscape timbers are manufactured from specially selected softwood, need no maintenance, and have a 25 year Jakcure® guarantee against rot and insect attack.

If aesthetics are important, then the look of the product should be taken into account. This is why we have a choice of traditional softwood treated sleepers that are 2.4m long and have dimensions of 100 x 200mm with straight defined edges and a sawn finish for a traditional look. If a more modern contemporary look is desired, then our Jakwall® landscape sleepers which are smooth planed, have chamfered edges, and a lower profile of 90 x 140mm are best.

Jacksons Fencing’s Jakcure® treated Softwood Sleepers come with an industry-leading 25 year guarantee, with countless customer projects demonstrating they often last even longer making it one of the best on the market. When choosing a softwood sleeper treatment, it’s important to select a trusted manufacturer that offers proven durability and a long guarantee.
