Ever finished a sleeper wall you’re properly proud of… only to see it shift a few months later?
If you work with garden sleepers in Chelmsford or build raised sleeper beds, retaining walls or sleeper steps, you’ll know that movement is one of the biggest frustrations.
That’s exactly why we’re now stocking the FenceMateFenceMate Sleeper Support System by Birkdale at our timber yard in Chelmsford.
Because the difference between a job that looks good... and one that lasts... comes down to using the right fixings from the start.

Keep Your Garden Sleepers Exactly Where You Put Them
Sleepers are heavy. Soil moves. Ground shifts. Timber expands and contracts.
Without proper sleeper fixings and support spikes, even the best-built sleeper retaining wall can start to lean, bow or twist over time.
The FenceMate Sleeper Support range is designed to:
-
Prevent sleeper wall movement
-
Reinforce sleeper corners and joints
-
Strengthen raised garden beds
-
Secure timber steps and planters
-
Improve long-term durability of landscaping projects
