Pine sleeper

Features of pine sleepers

The pine sleepers offered are specifically designed for outdoor use. Here are their technical and practical features in detail:

1. Ideal dimensions for outdoor projects :
   • Thickness: 100 cm
   • Width: 200 cm
   • Length: 2,40 m
     These standard dimensions make them versatile for a wide range of landscaping projects. They are sturdy enough to retain soil or serve as structural elements for steps or borders.
2. Class 4 treated pine :
   The sleeper is pressure-treated, a process that impregnates the wood deeply with preservatives. This class 4 treatment, using Tanalithe E and Tanatone, provides excellent protection against weather, wood-boring insects and fungi. This type of wood is therefore well suited to prolonged contact with soil and moisture.
3. Careful finishing for an attractive appearance :
   The wood is planed with 4 smooth faces and at least 3 sharp edges, ensuring a neat appearance. The smooth surface makes handling easier and reduces the risk of splinters during installation. This careful finish also gives your garden or landscaped space a more elegant look.
4. Pine, an environmentally friendly choice :
   Pine is a particularly appealing wood from an environmental perspective. As a renewable resource that is locally available in many regions, it helps limit environmental impact. The treatments used also comply with current environmental standards, notably through the use of less harmful preservatives.

Composition and why choose these pine sleepers?

Wood composition and treatments:

The pine sleepers we offer are made from 100 % maritime pine, a species known for its strength and ability to withstand outdoor conditions. The wood is pressure-treated, a process that uses pressure to impregnate the wood fibers with a specific preservative: Tanalithe E, a product that complies with current environmental standards. This treatment provides effective protection against mold, insects and rot. In addition, Tanatone, a coloring agent, gives the wood a slightly brownish tint that enhances its natural appearance.

Why choose these pine sleepers?

In short, pine sleepers are a smart choice for anyone looking to create high-quality outdoor features. Thanks to their strength, effective treatment and versatility, they are a durable and attractive investment.
