Which type should you choose?
| Type |
Best for |
| Internal Corner Bracket |
Helping hold sleeper corners together from the inside of the build. |
| Straight Flat Support Plate |
Joining or reinforcing straight sleeper runs where extra support is useful. |
Brown or galvanised?
Brown fittings are often chosen when you want the fixing to blend in with treated timber. Galvanised fittings are a practical choice where a brighter metal finish is acceptable.
Things to check before ordering
-
Fixing position: Plan where each bracket or plate will sit before cutting and assembling your sleepers.
-
Screw choice: Use suitable exterior-grade screws for outdoor sleeper projects.
-
Project load: Brackets and plates help secure the build, but retaining work still needs proper support, drainage and design.
-
Finish: Choose brown or galvanised based on the look you want and where the fixing will be visible.
Complete the job
Pair these brackets and plates with 195 x 95mm pressure treated garden railway sleepers. For ground support use Garden Railway Sleeper Support Spikes; for fixing sleepers to concrete use Garden Railway Sleeper Base Anchors.
