H4 CCA Treated Pine Sleepers

Treated pine sleepers are a versatile and enduring choice for a range of landscaping applications. With a rugged yet pleasing visual, these sturdy sleepers are ideal for retaining walls (as either posts or whalers), garden beds, vegetable patches, children's playgrounds, fence posts, dividers, planter boxes and driveway edging.

With a copper, chromium and arsenic (CCA) preservative treatment applied, these H4 pine sleepers are protected from fungal decay, borers and termite attack. A robust choice when exposed to the elements, they are suitable for above and in-ground applications throughout Australia.

Although CCA treated pine sleepers are completely safe to use for vegetable gardens, it is recommended root crops such as carrots and beetroots be planted away from the edge timbers.

Anywhere the treated pine post is cut, rebated, notched or drilled, the exposed area must be re-sealed with a suitable timber preservative to maintain the integrity of the treatment envelope.

CCA treated pine is handled using the same safety precautions as untreated timber. Typically that means gloves, dust masks and glasses should be worn at all times when working with H4 treated pine sleepers.

Treated pine sawdust and off-cuts are not classed as hazardous material and can be disposed of as normal landfill waste. However, it’s important that treated timbers are not used as firewood or burnt.
