Description
Quick answer: Sleeper base anchors are used when you need to secure timber sleepers to a concrete base or hard standing. Choose brown or galvanised finish depending on the look you want for the finished sleeper project.
Best used for
- Fixing sleepers to concrete
- Raised beds or edging on hard standing
- Garden borders where ground spikes are not suitable
- Sleeper projects built on patios, slabs or prepared concrete bases
Brown or galvanised?
Brown anchors are often chosen when you want the fixing to blend in with treated timber. Galvanised anchors are a practical choice where a brighter metal finish is acceptable.
Things to check before ordering
- Base suitability: Check the concrete or hard standing is sound enough to take a fixing.
- Fixing method: You may need suitable concrete fixings as well as the sleeper anchor itself.
- Layout: Mark your sleeper position before drilling or fixing into the base.
- Drainage: Avoid trapping water around the bottom of the sleeper where possible.
