Recycled plastic sleepers are robust landscaping beams made from 100% recycled plastic. Designed as an alternative to traditional timber sleepers, they can be used for garden edging, raised beds, steps, playground edging, foundations and other outdoor landscaping and substructure projects.

BM Steel supplies plastic sleepers in 160 x 80 x 2000mm sizes, with both brown and grey options available. Their solid recycled plastic construction makes them well suited to external applications where the sleepers may be exposed to moisture and changing weather conditions, without the same susceptibility to rot as traditional timber.

Plastic sleepers can be used to create defined borders around lawns, paths and planting areas or assembled to form raised beds, steps and other landscaping features. Their consistent dimensions also make it straightforward to plan layouts and combine multiple sleepers where larger or multi-level structures are required.

BM Steel also stocks FENCEMATE® sleeper brackets and fixings to support secure installation. Compatible accessories include galvanised straight and corner brackets, joining plates and angle brackets for connecting sleepers across straight runs, corners and layered arrangements.

Recycled Plastic Sleepers FAQs

What are recycled plastic sleepers?

Recycled plastic sleepers are solid landscaping beams manufactured from recycled plastic. They provide an alternative to traditional timber sleepers for outdoor applications such as raised beds, garden edging, steps, playgrounds and substructures.

BM Steel's recycled plastic sleepers are made from 100% recycled plastic and are available in brown and grey.

What are plastic sleepers used for?

Plastic sleepers are commonly used for raised garden beds, lawn and path edging, sandboxes, steps, playground edging, foundations and outdoor substructures.

They can be installed individually to create borders or combined using suitable brackets and joining accessories to form larger landscaping structures.

Are recycled plastic sleepers a good alternative to timber sleepers?

Yes. Recycled plastic sleepers provide a durable alternative to timber for many external landscaping applications. Unlike timber, recycled plastic is not susceptible to rot when exposed to moisture, making it particularly useful for outdoor projects where sleepers remain exposed to the ground and weather.

The appropriate material should still be selected according to the structural and installation requirements of the individual project.

What size are BM Steel recycled plastic sleepers?

BM Steel's recycled plastic sleepers measure 160mm wide by 80mm high by 2000mm long.

The consistent dimensions allow sleepers to be used individually or combined to create edging, raised beds, steps and other landscaping layouts.

Can plastic sleepers be used for raised garden beds?

Yes. Plastic sleepers can be used to construct raised garden beds and planting areas. Multiple sleepers can be joined and secured using appropriate sleeper brackets, joining plates and fixings to create the required layout and height.

Can recycled plastic sleepers be used for garden edging?

Yes. Recycled plastic sleepers are suitable for creating defined edges around lawns, paths, planting areas and other landscaped spaces.

Their 2000mm length can be incorporated into straight runs or combined with suitable corner and joining brackets for more complex layouts.

What colours are available for BM Steel plastic sleepers?

BM Steel supplies recycled plastic sleepers in brown and grey. Brown provides a more traditional timber-style appearance, while grey offers a neutral alternative for contemporary landscaping designs.
