Sawmill Concrete Sleepers

Our Sawmill Sleepers are one of our most popular sleeper designs and look great with any garden design. They are designed as a direct replacement of traditional timber sleepers; they look like wood & have the durability of concrete that will last forever.

Perfect for rural settings, they are structurally engineered for retaining walls and steel reinforced with two 12mm steel bars. The Sawmill Sleepers come in a choice of two different colour themes – Charcoal and Blackwood.

Engineer reports are available and we can also recommend installation companies (see our installers page) who can provide a retaining wall quotation for you.

When using Sawmill Sleepers in a retaining wall, its best to use hot-dip galvanised steel posts. They come in a range of joiner, end & corner sections making it easy to install.

Cleaning concrete sleepers

When concrete sleepers get wet from rain, dew, or frost, they might develop a white powder called efflorescence on the surface. This happens because the water evaporates and draws out some salts and lime from the concrete. But don’t worry, it’s normal for concrete to do this. You can remove the efflorescence by washing the sleepers with an acid solution.

Concrete sleepers can be cleaned with 20 to 1 water to hydrochloric acid solution. Wet down sleepers first. Use a broom to apply the solution to the sleepers. Apply the solution to the whole area so the concrete stays consistent. Be sure to cover up so acid doesn’t go on you. The stronger the solution, the coarser the sleepers’ finish will become. Use lots of water to wash down the cleaned area.
