Birkdale’s FENCEMATE® Sleeper Support System: The UK’s leading fencing and gate accessories manufacturer, Birkdale, has recently launched its new range of specialist hardware for sleepers. Designed to provide quick and easy installation alongside lasting performance, the Sleeper Support System includes a range of pins and brackets, enabling trade professionals to safely create planters, raised beds, boarders and steps.
Combining Birkdale’s expertise in galvanised steel products and installer focused product innovation, the new FENCEMATE® Sleeper Support System is designed to ease installation and provide a long-lasting solution that can be relied upon to hold heavy sleepers in place. The range in includes:
- FENCEMATE® Sleeper Pin for Single Sleeper.
- FENCEMATE® Sleeper Pin for Double Sleeper.
- FENCEMATE® Sleeper Pin Corner Bracket for Single Sleeper.
- FENCEMATE® Sleeper Pin Corner Bracket for Double Sleeper.
- FENCEMATE® Sleeper Joining Plate.
- FENCEMATE® Sleeper Pin Angle Bracket.
Every item in the range is manufactured from heavy duty 2mm galvanised steel that will not rust or rot like traditional timber pins. The full range is also available in powder coated Olive RAL 7002 for extra protection and to match the colour of green treated sleepers.
With a sharp point and triangular profile, the sleeper pins are easy to drive into the earth, regardless of the soil type or conditions. This, combined with pins for double sleepers, ensures a smooth installation for any design. Birkdale recommends installing pins at one-metre centres along the length of the sleepers, reducing the likelihood of movement and allowing earth to be safely built up behind the sleepers for raised beds or steps.
John Abernethie, Managing Director at Birkdale, commented: “Sleepers are a simple and effective way of adding a rustic aesthetic to any garden and so we wanted to create an easy-to-use range of products that would provide added structural integrity without comprising the simple installation process that makes sleepers so popular.
“We are very pleased to add the new FENCEMATE® Sleeper Support System to our product list, further enabling landscapers to access quality products regardless of the project they are undertaking.”
