Description
Quick answer: Sleeper brackets and flat support plates are used to help join, strengthen and secure timber sleeper projects. Choose internal corner brackets for corners and straight flat support plates for joining or supporting straight sleeper runs.
Best used for
- Raised beds and planters
- Sleeper corners and internal joints
- Straight sleeper joins and support points
- Garden edging and border projects
- General timber sleeper landscaping work
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 galv based on the look you want and where the fixing will be visible.
