Great Uses for Treated Pine Sleepers in Melbourne

As one of the most commonly seen garden fixtures in yards around the city, Garden sleepers in Melbourne are highly desired by residents and landscapers alike. Once pine sleepers are impregnated with chemical solutions containing preservatives, insecticides, and fungicides—they are considered treated. The purpose of this is to greatly extend the life of the timber and allow it to be used for all sorts of weather-resistant yard applications. After treatment, a garden sleeper will virtually become pest, rot, and decay resistant in the long term; and then be eligible for a number of really great uses, including:

Greenhouses

Garden sleepers are ideal for use in the construction of greenhouses. Sleepers can also be used to divide and partition the separate sections of the greenhouse internally.
